Smart tourism destination support scenario based on human-computer cloud

Nowadays tourism has become one of the fastest growing economic sectors. It leads to growth of investments and people involvement in tourism infrastructure development One of the results of this process is an appearing of smart tourism destinations that increases the quality of tourist experience in the destination with smart support Smart destination exploits human-computer cloud technologies providing personalized support for tourists. The paper proposes a working scenario of a smart tourism support system with usage of volunteered geographical information sources as main data sources. The scenario example has been shown on base of the tourist assistant-TAIS.
