Abstract

This paper introduces more Tourism, a hybrid recommendation platform that provides information about tourist resources depending on the user profile, location, schedule and the amount of time for visiting interest points isolated or combined in a route. This platform is enriched with several services, such as: mashups, socialization, and adaptive interfaces in order to enrich the users experience when visiting touristic attractions. The system is able to find touristic resources taking into account users’ likes, through the use of hybrid Content-based Filtering + Collaborative Filtering techniques combined with tagging and folksonomies. To our knowledge, this is the first recommendation service oriented to mobile terminals that use extensively the advantages of Web 2.0 for social collaborative tagging.
