Nowadays researchers and engineers are trying to build travel route recommendation systems to guide tourists around the globe. The tourism industry is on the rise and it has attracted researchers to provide such systems for comfortable and convenient traveling. Mobile internet growth is increasing rapidly. Mobile data usage and traffic growth has increased interest in building mobile applications for tourists. This research paper aims to provide design and implementation of a travel route recommendation system based on user preference. Real-time big data is collected from Wi-Fi routers installed at more than 149 unique locations in Jeju Island, South Korea. This dataset includes tourist movement patterns collected from thousands of mobile tourists in the year 2016–2017. Data collection and analysis is necessary for a country to make public policies and development of the global travel and tourism industry. In this research paper we propose an optimal travel route recommendation system by performing statistical analysis of tourist movement patterns. Route recommendation is based on user preferences. User preference can vary over time and differ from one user to another. We have taken three main factors into consideration to the recommend optimal route i.e., time, distance, and popularity of location. Beside these factors, we have also considered weather and traffic condition using a third-party application program interfaces (APIs). We have classified regions into six major categories. Popularity of location can vary from season to season. We used a Naïve Bayes classifier to find the probability of tourists going to visit next location. Third-party APIs are used to find the longitude and latitude of the location. The Haversine formula is used to calculate the distance between unique locations. On the basis of these factors, we recommend the optimal route for tourists. The proposed system is highly responsive to mobile users. The results of this system show that the recommended route is convenient and allows tourists to visit maximum number of famous locations as compared to previous data.

Abstract Personalized recommendation systems recommend the target destination based on user-generated data from social media and geo-tagged photos that are currently available as a most pertinent source. This paper proposes a tourism destination recommendation system which uses heterogeneous data sources that interprets both texts posted on social media and images of tourist places visited and shared by tourists. For this purpose, we propose an enhanced user profile that uses User-Location Vector with LDA and Jaccard Coefficients. Moreover, a new Tourist Destination tree is constructed using the posts extracted from TripAdvisor where each node of the destination tree consists of tourist destination data. Finally, we build a personalized recommendation system based on user preferences, A* algorithm and heuristic shortest path algorithm with cost optimization based on the backtracking based Travelling Salesman Problem solution, tourist destination tree and tree-based hybrid recommendations. Here, the 0/1 knapsack algorithm is used for recommending the best Tourist Destination travel route plans according to the travel time and cost constraints of the tourists. The experimental results obtained from this work depict that the proposed User Centric Personalized destination and travel route recommendation system is providing better recommendation of tourist places than the existing systems by handling multiple heterogeneous data sources efficiently for recommending optimal tour plans with minimum cost and time.

Tourism recommendation systems play a vital role in providing useful travel information to tourists. However, existing systems rarely aim at recommending tangible itineraries for tourists within a specific POI due to their lack of onsite travel behavioral data and related route mining algorithms. To this end, a novel travel route recommendation system is proposed, which collects tourist onsite travel behavior data automatically regarding a specific POI based on smart phone and IoT technology. Then, the proposed system preprocesses the behavior data to transform raw behavior sequences into Tourist-Behavior pattern sequences. Subsequently, the system discovers frequent travel routes from the generated pattern sequences by using an original route mining algorithm, named Tourist-Behavior PrefixSpan. Finally, a route-recommending method is designed to search and rank tangible travel routes according to the querying tourist’s profile and constraint. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system is efficient and effective in recommending POI-oriented tangible travel routes considering tourists’ route constraints and personal profile while ensuring that the suggested routes have considerable route values.
