Abstract

The event industry plays a crucial role in supporting tourism, particularly in Bali. As the need for organizing meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions increases, the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) industry is also growing rapidly. At the event planning stage, selecting locations and vendors becomes crucial and requires complex coordination. So far, decision-making has been done manually and subjectively, often resulting in less-than-optimal decisions. This study aims to develop a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) utilizing the VIKOR method, which focuses on ranking and selecting the best alternatives from multiple choices based on various conflicting criteria. The system was developed using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach, in six stages: system engineering, analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. Based on ten assessment criteria, testing was conducted using a case study on MICE event planning in Bali, with five alternative locations and five vendors. The results show that the VIKOR method can produce accurate and transparent rankings with increased selection efficiency compared to conventional methods. This system also provides additional benefits as an interactive learning medium in MICE practice courses at Politeknik Negeri Bali (PNB).
