Abstract

Tourists often have a hard time making their tour plans, especially when they are visiting a large city on a tight schedule. To relieve tourists from such difficulty, a computer-aided interactive tour planning system, called CT-Planner2, was developed. This system models a tourist advisor who makes tour plans customized for individual tourists. Guided by an interactive agent, each user of this system can request when and where he starts/ends his tour, which tour criteria he wants to emphasize, and which attractions he especially wants to visit/avoid, as well as compare several plans that the system automatically generates. By repeating the revision of tour plans in an interactive manner, the user can eventually build a custom-made tour plan that fits his requests and preference. In our user test, the usability and potential of the system is evaluated positively by the participants.
