Nowadays mobile devices are becoming a major platform for information access and when combined with recommendation systems technologies they can become key tools for mobile users both for travel and business applications. Recommendation Systems (RSs) have been extensively utilized as a means of reducing the information overload and offering travel recommendations to tourists. The emerging mobile RSs are tailored to mobile device users and promise to substantially enrich tourist experiences, recommending rich multimedia content, context-aware services, and views/ratings of peer users. This article follows a systematic approach in reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field, proposing a classification of mobile tourism RSs and providing insights on their offered services. In this paper we review the major issues and opportunities that the mobile scenario opens to the application of recommendation systems.
