Tourism Recommendation Systems: Analytical Approach

Abstract

Since tourism generates numerous positive impacts, each country is interested in its development. The base for increasing the number of tourists lies in capability to meet their preferences, which is not a trouble-free process, particularly in times of ever-changing environment. The tourist’s behavior has changed dramatically specifically to the way how they search for information in the Web as the leading source. The paper argues the importance of introducing tourism recommendation systems, particularly in small and tourism developing countries as Macedonia. Moreover, it makes an attempt to justify the necessity of designing tourism recommenders in order to assist the tourists to identify their holiday in more sophisticated way.
