Abstract

Researchers and companies are making great efforts to create new ways of interaction with a increasing number and types of electronic devices, with particular attention to the conversational interface, whether spoken or written. The cultural heritage domain can bring many benefits from the great effort in this field, as a smart conversational system can provide both room/hotel/apartment information and information related to the area, natural or cultural points of interest, tourist routes, social events, history etc. The paper’s main goal is to present a quick and effective service to the tourists visiting a city for the first time. Learning the cultural preferences of the users can enhance customer satisfaction, since a smart system can propose them customised tours in order to reach point of interests according to the expressed preferences. The interaction with the user is simplified by a conversational interface (chatbot).
