CONCLUSIONS
This research designed and developed a
personalised tourist route advice system. The agent-
based technology offers many advantages for
developing such a system. The vector-based user
model is simple and efficient in representing tourist
personal interests. However, the suitability of vector
representation for complex tourist area, such as
historical cities, still remains to be evaluated.
GIS is a powerful tool in storing and processing
spatial data that are needed for tourist route
construction. As it is computationally impossible to
derive a mathematical optimum solution for
problems such as the one of tour route construction,
the heuristic local optimisation approach is applied
in this research and the result is shown to be
feasible.
