Abstract

This work describes the research and preliminary results for the development of an intelligent planning and recommendation system for the marine tourism sector. The application of technology and its rapid advance offers users the opportunity to use geo-location at all times, giving rise to a new range of personalized products and services, thereby generating a set of favorable impacts in the economic and social field. We describe the generation of knowledge developed on the services of marine tourism and their characteristics and the selection of technological tools for the construction of the recommender system. The system will generate recommended routes based on the traveler preferences profile. It also provides information on resources and tourist services, including mobility, and a system to help in the dynamic and optimal planning of tourist itineraries.
