The authors report on the development and test of a rule-based model of tourist destination choice, using decision tables to represent the rules that specify the conditions under which particular destination choices are made. Rules are extracted from empirical data on tourist destination choice, collected in the Netherlands in 1998. The specification of the model and its performance are discussed
