Students at a college in Ohio are planning a spring break vacation to one of three locations:

Myrtle Beach (MB), Daytona Beach (DB), or Ft. Lauderdale (FL). They are to base their decision on three criteria—weather, cost, and potential fun (based on an Internet survey of friends and acquaintances at other colleges). The students have developed the following pairwise comparisons for the locations for each criterion and for the three criteria:

Weather Location MB DB FL MB 1 1/3 1/3 DB 3 1 1 FL 3 1 1 Cost Location MB DB FL MB 1 3 5 DB 1/3 1 2 FL 1/5 1/2 1 Fun Location MB DB FL MB 1 1/2 5 DB 2 1 3 FL 1/5 1/3 1 Criteria Weather Cost Fun Weather 1 4 1/4 Cost 1/4 1 1/5 Fun 4 5 1 If the students use AHP to help make a decision, which location will they select for their spring break vacation?
