Mobile Recommender Systems in Tourism; Travel Recommendation for Tourists

Definition

Generally speaking, the “mobility” in users’ (i.e., tourists’) travel tour comes from both the users (i.e., they intend/plan to move from place to place) and their devices (i.e., some of the contexts of the user mobility may be recorded by their mobile devices). By mining these mobilities, either explicitly (interacting with the users) or implicitly (learning from user profiles and historical records), mobile travel tour recommendation aims to precisely and efficiently recommend users the destinations (e.g., Place of Interests (POI)) to visit, the routes to take, the attractive packages to choose, some other context-aware information (e.g., the events/activities nearby), etc. As a privileged type of recommender system, mobile travel tour recommendation has become a valuable tool to deal with the information overload problem in tourism.
