摘要

The surge in plastic leakage within tourism ecosystems exposes the structural limitations of linear consumption models, particularly in high-growth emerging economies. This study develops a non-compensatory hierarchical decision framework to prioritise strategic levers for plastic waste mitigation within Vietnam’s tourism sector. By integrating Fuzzy-AHP with ELECTRE I, the research synthesises the insights of 33 multidisciplinary experts to navigate the epistemic uncertainty inherent in circular transitions. Unlike traditional additive models, the framework employs a veto logic to identify structural prerequisites that cannot be offset by secondary performance metrics. Anchored in 2026 baseline data which indicates a waste intensity of 1.2 kg per tourist-night and a 95% awareness-action gap among enterprises (UNDP, 2026), the findings suggest that Policy, Regulation, and Governance functions as the primary structural anchor. Crucially, the outranking analysis identifies Adequacy of Public Waste Infrastructure as a fundamental veto factor, implying that behavioural interventions remain largely ineffective without a functional physical bedrock for resource recovery. This research provides a data-driven roadmap for policymakers to move beyond intuitive conjecture toward empirical sequencing of interventions, offering a scalable logic for reconciling tourism expansion with plastic waste reduction.
