Abstract(s)
Mobile applications that are developed to assist disabled people in their
tourist activities should go much further than simply providing information about
points of interest or recommending places or routes based on the user location. Due
the specific needs of each person in this group, they should be able to provide them
with information about the most suitable points of interest and recommend them
with the most suitable places to visit which should be contextualized according to
their specific needs and interests. This work describes a proposal for a personalized
system to assist mobility disabled people in their tourist activities. The system
considers the accessibility features of each tourism service, or product, and the users’
preferences and disabilities and explores information about their interactions and
opinions about each place, to recommend points of interest, routes and services that
best suit their specific needs and interests.
