Decision Support System, Tourism Destination, TOPSIS, Borda, Digital TransformationAbstract
The development of tourist destinations in North Sumatra Province holds significant potential but is hindered by challenges such as limited infrastructure and the absence of data-driven planning. This study aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) that integrates the TOPSIS and Borda methods to more effectively determine tourism development priorities. The TOPSIS method is employed to evaluate destination alternatives based on their closeness to the ideal solution, while the Borda method enhances the decision-making process through a ranking system that reflects stakeholder preferences. The results identify Kampung Ulos Huta Raja, Paropo Silalahi, and Desa Bakkara as the top destinations recommended for priority development. The integration of TOPSIS and Borda produces decisions that are more objective, consistent, and based on measurable criteria. This approach provides an innovative solution for tourism management, supports digital transformation, and enables governments and stakeholders to make more strategic and effective decisions.
