Tourism guidedance by AI - the best recommendation in town

Tourism guidedance by AI - the best recommendation in town

Project Profile

Which tourist attraction can be recommended to a tourist as the next destination? We were on the trail of this question with the client. The next destination is certainly influenced by the previous POIs and may be reflected in the origin and many other parameters. We solved the matter with a recommendation engine that in any case creates a correct derivation as the next target from the previously learned targets per market. So we land the best recommender on the market which is absolutely independent from COVID!
