Abstract
This paper focuses on the data-driven evaluation ski resorts, employing the attractiveness index. Unlike similar studies, this research concentrates on smaller resorts essential for local economies. Input data acquired through meta-analysis offers insights into skier preferences, combining information from various sources, including volunteered geographic information (VGI). Employing a geographic information system (GIS), the study addresses pertinent questions regarding over-tourism, regional resort ratings, and spatial patterns, providing a foundation for sustainable development in alpine regions. As the case study, the evaluation of 40 regional ski resorts in Austria is introduced.
