Tourist movement is a complex process. It can be modelled from a number
of different perspectives; for example, Tourism, Geography, Economics,
Mathematics, Computer Sciences and Psychology. This talk aims to discuss
a sound methodology, using  Markov and Semi-Markov processes to model
the spatial and temporal movement of tourists.

The objective is to understand, predict, control for, and optimise the
decisions made by tourists in their choice of attractions.
