Objective measurement for satisfaction values to sightseeing spots and route recommendation system
Takashi Hasuike, Hideki Katagiri, Hiroshi Tsuda · 2016
This paper proposes a route recommendation system for sightseeing based on a network optimization problem. Sightseeing route planning is not difficult if a tourist initially sets satisfaction values of sightseeing spots numerically. However, it was hard to evaluate the satisfaction values objectively according to the tourist's feelings. The tourist can subjectively do a qualitative and pairwise comparison of sightseeing plans which tourism companies provide. Our proposed approach is to formulate a mathematical programming problem with constraints based on the tourist's comparison and to determine the satisfaction values of sightseeing spots objectively. Our proposed approach can deal with the synergy effect among sightseeing spots. In addition, the framework of personal sightseeing route planning system is proposed.
