A collaborative awareness framework for mobile tourist recommender system

Tourism industry is expected to grow tremendously in Malaysia. Mobile technology such as smart phones can be use as a tourist recommender system. This paper proposed a collaborative awareness framework in order to design a usable mobile system. The collaborative awareness framework takes into account of tourist types, tourism activities, tourist experiences, visiting phases, mobile technology capabilities and limitations. The proposed mobile tourist recommender system will be able to provide both location-based and person-based awareness.
