  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Advances in Internet, Data & Web Technologies (EIDWT 2024)

Abstract

This article introduces “Travel Air IQ,” a web solution designed for European tourists, integrating advanced Decision Support Systems and real-time air quality data. Beyond conventional platforms, it serves tourists, aids tourism departments, and supports public administration. The study explores Travel Air IQ’s capabilities, highlighting its potential to empower tourists, assist in resource management, and enable proactive responses to challenges. By leveraging data and computer science principles, it addresses varied needs, enhancing the tourist experience and efficiently managing resources. The integration of advanced systems contributes to sustainability and adaptability in tourism practices. This research aligns with the conference’s focus on advancing internet, data, and web technologies, showcasing how these innovations reshape tourism towards comprehensive, user-centric solutions.
