Proposal of Sightseeing Spot Recommendation for Group without Discussion

Abstract

This paper proposes a method of recommending sightseeing spots without discussion for a tourist group. As members in a group usually have different interests in sightseeing spots, it tends to take a lot of time to decide a sightseeing plan which satisfies all members' preference. Furthermore, it is difficult for those who are not good at expressing their opinions to take part in the discussion. With the proposed method, each member in a group inputs his/her interests and conditions about sightseeing spots, and then evaluates the recommended spot list one by one. This paper also proposes to determine the order of evaluating the list on the basis of the questionnaire using the MBTI taxonomy, which have been proposed in the field of psychology. Effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by user experiment.
