  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies ((SIST,volume 25))

Abstract

This paper makes a review on personalisation systems specialised for cultural tourism. Tourists interested in cultural heritage have different requirements from tourist recommendation systems than other users. Therefore, emphasis is given on recommendation systems for city tours and museum guides. More specifically, systems for PC, PDAs and mobile phones are discussed as well as the methods and the technologies used.
