An Advice System for Travel Agents

In the tourism sector it is often impossible for an travel agent to answer all the specific questions about destinations in a certain area. The tourist expects an expert in front of him, but a travel agent can’t know everything about all the holiday resorts. The travel agent needs a tool to give better advice to the tourist. Together with the students of the special licentiate in Tourism at the Limburg University Centre, faculty of Applied Economics, we have constructed such an advice system. It should lead to an improvement in the quality of advice given to the tourist who is looking for the appropriate holiday destination.
