Abstract

In this paper, the author suggests a mathematical model for the entropy of the sustainable development of rural tourism organizations. The author uses the entropy formula defined by C. Shannon for each component of the sustainable development: the economic component, the sociocultural component, and the environmental component, applying the maximum of the entropies of these components. The model has the advantage that it can be easily understood and applied also by individuals who do not have a very strong mathematical background. The constants within this model can be chosen by the management of the organization according to the organization’s specificity and objectives, and according to the managers’ professional experience. The model suggested within the paper was applied for the entropy of the sustainable development of five rural tourism organizations from Sibiu County, Romania. The result can be compared with the result for the coming years, 2018, 2019, etc. or with the result calculated for other rural tourism organizations from other regions.
