Abstract

This paper presents an global social travel system to assist tourists in their itinerary planning, tour navigation, and travel knowledge sharing. In particular, firstly, we propose an efficient and flexible itinerary planning algorithm for organizing itineraries. Secondly, we design an intelligent tour path planning and navigation system by mining patterns from trajectories and geo-photos shared by other tourists. Thirdly, we provide a framework to monitor the status and events that may affect the predefined itineraries. Finally, the social media module enhances the opportunities of experience (itinerary, trajectory, and travelogue) sharing and helps travelers make better decisions. Concrete demonstrations of our system are also provided in this paper to show the flexibility and applicability of our system.
