Abstract

When making a travel plan, we often use travel sites. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to decide a travel destination because the amount of information including users’ reviews is too large. Also, usually, travel information is separately registered for each destination (e.g. sightseeing place), which is difficult to use for those who have not yet decided the destination they want to go to. Therefore, the authors set a research goal to make it possible to choose a travel destination without having to browse a lot of travel information when making a travel plan, and developed a web service for recommending travel plans, called Tabi-gator (Travel navigator in English). Tabi-gator automatically creates several questions to diagnose user preferences with machine-learning technology, and then recommends a travel plan that is suitable for the user’s preference.
