Experts’ Selection for Neutrosophic Delphi Method. A Case Study of Hotel Activity

Abstract

This investigation aims to model experts’ selection for neutrosophic Delphi method. The phase of selecting experts is
essential to obtain adequate results in Delphi method, thus this phase deserves a major attention. The proposed method considers
the complexity of the subject, according to experts’ criteria to fix the number of experts necessary to apply the neutrosophic
Delphi method. Single-valued triangular neutrosophic numbers are used to measure experts’ self-evaluations and the weights of
expertise criteria. Neutrosophy allows us to include indeterminacy, which is typical in any decision-making problem, as well as
the calculation based on linguistic terms. Hotel activity serves as a case study for illustrating the applicability of the method in a
real life situation.
