Abstract

Recommendation systems provide focused information to users on a set of objects belonging to a specific domain. The proposed recommender system provides personalized suggestions about touristic points of interest. The system generates recommendations, consisting of touristic places, according to the current position of a tourist and previously collected data describing tourist movements in a touristic location/city. The touristic sites correspond to a set of points of interest identified a priori. We propose several metrics to evaluate both the spatial coverage of the dataset and the quality of recommendations produced. We assess our system on two datasets: a real and a synthetic one. Results show that our solution is a viable one.
