Abstract

Individual travellers are usually restricted in time but wish to see as many attractions as possible. The proposed approach assumes developing a system for ad hoc generation of travel plans as well as helping tourists to plan their attraction attending time and excursions depending on the context information about the current situation in the museums. The major idea of the virtual tourist hub is to arrange transportation based on the available schedules and capabilities of transportation and attraction providers, current and foreseen availability and occupancy of the available transportation means and attraction services so that all information flows are hidden “under the hood” the end-user (travelers), and only the final trip schedule is seen. The trip schedule is generated based on the context of the current situation and user preferences. The tourist logistics system members and elements are represented by sets of services provided by them. This makes it possible to replace the configuration of the logistics system with that of distributed services.
