Sažetak
The weighting of indicators of tourism sustainability (TS) is a challenging issue in TS meas-urement. It is acknowledged in the relevant literature that weights can have a significant effect on the rankings of analysed regions and policymaking, because relative indicator weights may significantly differ depending on the chosen weighting procedure. To assist future research in this area, this paper conducts a meta-analysis of available empirical TS studies. Overall, nine indicators were identified that appeared in at least two studies. Raw weights from these studies were transformed into relative indicator weights which allowed for a straightforward comparison of indicator weights across different weighting procedures. The results reveal that the reliability (and validity) of common data reduction techniques, like principal components or factor analysis, for weighting indicators is highly questionable.
