Abstract

In tourism information management there are two types of information networking that may assist the personalized self-tour planning: (1) tourist points of interest (regional attractions, activities and events) and (2) tourism services (hotel, gastronomy and transport). Therefore, the most important problem discussed in the paper is the integration of the tourism information networks for individual user optimization and personalization. In order to make this connection, there are overviewed three ontological approaches that lead to the recognition of tourist values. The object-based logic is explained as the first model, then the service-based model follows, with the experience-oriented model being discussed as the last one, thus going from the most passive way of self-tour planning to its most active form (through co-creation of the tourist route). The main focus of the latter approach is on designing two stages of the tourist experience that would manifest itself during the tour. Its operationalization is done by expert knowledge rooted in the tourist application functionality. The practical part of the paper deliberates the unique values that can be used to inform and enhance the smart and the intelligent tourist self-tour planner.
