Abstract

This paper introduces a route-planning problem in the sector of tourism. The Tourist Trip Design Problem seeks to maximize the number of points of interest to visit. This paper also proposes an optimization approach for a multi-day planning problem for sightseeing. In order to solve this optimization problem, an efficient Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure is developed to obtain high-quality solutions. Enhanced solution construction mechanisms and bias functions used in construction mechanism have been proposed. The computational experiments indicate the solving scheme is able to report competitive solutions by using short computational times.
