With rising living standards, rural tourism near cities has rapidly developed, playing a
key role in the sustainable development of urban economies and societies. Factors like ecological
environment, historical and cultural resources, and landscape significantly influence the
competitiveness of rural tourism. However, current research on this topic is still in its early stages,
with a focus on tourism benefits to cities, often overlooking other impacts. Rural tourism boosts
employment, promotes rural industries, and increases farmers' incomes, accelerating rural
urbanization and economic growth. Therefore, evaluating the competitiveness of rural tourism near
cities is essential for its development. The evaluation of rural tourism competitiveness in the vicinity
of cities is multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. Recently, the Combined
Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) approach has been used to address MAGDM. Interval
neutrosophic sets (INSs) are employed as approach to characterize uncertain data in the evaluation
of rural tourism competitiveness in areas surrounding cities. In this research, the CoCoSo approach
is structured for MAGDM with INSs. Then, the interval neutrosophic numbers CoCoSo with
SuperHyperSoft (INN-SHS-CoCoSo) approach, based on Hamming distance with the
SuperHyperSoft, is developed for MAGDM. SuperHyperSoft is used to teat a set of criteria and sub
criteria. Finally, a practical numerical example for the evaluation of rural tourism competitiveness
in areas surrounding cities is developed to demonstrate the INN-SHS-CoCoSo approach.
