Abstract

In today's dynamic environment, tourism supply chains must be agile, that is, they must be in a position to respond quickly to customer needs. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of prioritizing the basic factors of supply chain agility in the tourism industry of Isfahan city. For this purpose, firstly, by extensively reviewing the subject literature and selecting 43 related articles, 6 factors were identified as factors of supply chain agility. Then, by using DIMATEL technique, prioritization and causal diagram of factors were obtained. The statistical population of this research includes tourism industry experts in Isfahan city who were selected by non-probability (targeted) sampling method and snowball method. A total of 34 DIMATEL technique questionnaires were collected, and based on the results of those factors, competence, social, human resources, information technology, flexibility and sensitivity and responsiveness to the market were given the first to sixth priorities.
