Abstract

We propose U-KyotoTrip, a travel planning system designed for user-experience-oriented trips in Kyoto, Japan. U-KyotoTrip integrates extensive content analysis of user-generated content, Point-Of-Interest (POI) recommendations, and route recommendations, with the aim of assisting users in acquiring information and travel planning. To capture new users’ preferences, we propose user-friendly ask-to-rate methods to handle cold-start user scenarios. Furthermore, we employ five route recommendation methods that vary in their consideration for congestion and tourism diversification to address the overtourism problem. An empirical user study was conducted to evaluate U-KyotoTrip, revealing that users are satisfied with the system, particularly the approach that utilizes photos to present their preferences.
