Computational modelling and simulations in tourism: A primer

The aim of this contribution is to briefly sketch and discuss the main issues that concern the activities of modelling and simulating complex phenomena and systems. The focus is on numerical and computational techniques. We discuss the validity of these methods and examine the different steps to be...
