Recommender systems for dynamic packaging of tourism services

  • Conference paper
Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2011

Abstract

Based on a case study in Valais (Switzerland), this paper discusses recommender system technologies used to help clients choose tourism service packages online. Different recommender systems are first presented and then analysed in relation to dynamic packaging. Five solutions are finally proposed.
