American Development Bank, 808 17th Street, N.W.,

that uses the dynamic programming search technique to
optimize the economic return to investment in inter-
national tourism projects. It represents a first attempt
to apply this optimization procedure to tourism. Part I
illustrates the fundamental properties of dynamic pro-
gramming and its usefulness for tourist facility planning.
Part II gives an overview of DYPRO. Part III applies
the model to an example tourist development project.
Sample input data files and variable definitions are in
