Title
Supporting group tourists' planning: understanding group preferences through ubicomp systems
Abstract
Various studies have proposed methods to help a group of people making vacation plans. But most of these studies focused on explicit information acquisition. With an increasing tendency for group tourists using digital information applications for group communication more frequently instead of face-to-face interactions, this thesis aims to explore how to understand groups' preferences implicitly through analysing their online intra-group behaviour. The author plans to examine digital interaction and socialization behaviour among group members, determine the measureable functionalities to reveal group tourists' preferences, and design a personalized recommendation system. This research utilizes the pervasive intra-group socializing processes, and ultimately facilitates group tourists' planning experience.
