The key technology of online travel recommendation system has been widely concerned by many Internet experts. This paper studies and designs a scenario aware service model in online travel planning system and proposes an online travel planning recommendation model which integrates collaborative filtering and clustering personalized recommendation algorithm. At the same time, the algorithm performance test method and model evaluation index are given. The results show that CTTCF algorithm can find more neighbor users than UCF algorithm, and the smaller the search space is, the more significant the advantage is. The number of neighbors is 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25, respectively, and the corresponding average absolute error values are about 0.815, 0.785, 0.765, 0.758, and 0.755, respectively. The scores of the six emotional travel itinerary recommendation schemes are all higher than 142 points. Only the two schemes have no obvious rendering effect. The proposed online travel itinerary planning scheme has potential value and important significance in the application of follow-up recommendation system. It solves the problem of low scene perception satisfaction in the key technologies of online tourism planning system.

It is evident that generational shifts in tourist behaviour facilitate the anticipation and accommodation of future trends in the industry. Although a unique and influential tourist segment, the millennial generation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has not been adequately researched. This paper aims to explore the travel patterns of Emirati millennials; particularly their preferences, their online travel behaviour and the impact of social media on their choices. After reviewing the academic and trade literature on millennial travelers and some cases of existing innovative practices of tourism businesses targeting millennials, the paper will present the results of a survey conducted to investigate the travel patterns of young Emirati travelers, contributing to the literature on this emerging segment which is almost nonexistent. The research offers useful insights into what Emiratis value the most, their preference for leisure travel to new destinations and the influence of travel apps and social media on their travel planning. The research led to the development of suggestions for businesses aiming to attract millennials.

Background: Shifting travellers from air to rail can reduce environmental impacts and is an important European Union goal. Online travel planning applications allow travellers to easily compare air and rail transport choices, however, they may not accurately consider time travellers spend at the airport or railway station since these depend on buffer times travellers use to protect against delays. Methods: This research investigated the actual time spent at airports and railway stations to analyse the accuracy of travel planning applications and help improve the quality of travel time estimates.The research used a travel time recording application to determine the time spent by passengers at airports and railway stations. Data was collected for 312 trips. The research was supplemented by an extensive literature review of dwell times and multimodal travel planning applications. Results: The research found that travellers spent an average of 157 minutes at airports and 32 minutes at railway stations. Comparing these results to travel planning application, the information shows that the applications significantly underestimate time spent at airports and slightly underestimate time spent at railway stations.The use of unrealistic airport waiting times in travel planning applications distorts traveller perception in favour of air travel. Conclusion: Therefore, railway operators should support the development of improved travel planning applications that better consider waiting times. Improving these applications would be much more cost effective than infrastructure improvements designed to save a few minutes of travel time.
