Abstract

This paper presents a recommender system that provides personalized information about locations of potential interest to a tourist. The system generates suggestions, consisting of touristy places, according to the current position and history data describing the tourist movements. For the selection of tourist sites, the system uses a set of points of interest a priori identified. We evaluate our system on two datasets: a real and a synthetic one, both storing trajectories describing previous movements of tourists. The proposed solution has high applicability and the results show that the solution is both efficient and viable.
