A Multimedia GIS in Tourism
Issam MoghrabiDiana Nahle
The work presented herein focuses on the development of a novel spatial tourist-servicing system. It provides its users with a GIS hypermap touristic and navigation information that, given time constraints and type of places of interest, proposes a reasonable navigation plan. The plan specifies routes to go through, suggested stops such as hotels in or close to the cities/towns they wish to visit and associated durations. The production of such plan is based on the adoption of some shortest path algorithm and traveling salesperson problem approximation reformulated for efficiency of implementation.
