Design of A Smart Tourism Management System through Multisource Data Visualization-Based Knowledge Discovery

Abstract

Nowadays, tourism management is a universal concern in the world. It is important for generating tourism characteristics for travelers, so as to digitally facilitate tourism business scheduling. Currently, there is still a lack of technologies that are competent in managing tourism business affairs. Therefore, in this paper a smart tourism management system is designed through multisource data visualization-based knowledge discovery. Firstly, this work presents the total architecture of a tourism management system with respect to three modules: data collection, data visualization, and knowledge discovery. Then, multisource business data are processed with the use of visualization techniques so as to output statistical analysis results for different individuals. On this basis, characterized knowledge can be found from previous visualization results and demonstrated for travelers or administrators. In addition, a case study on real data is conducted to test running performance of the proposed tourism management system. The main body of public service tourism is the government or other social organizations that do not regard profit as the main purpose; public service tourism a general term for products and services with obvious public nature. The testing results show that user preferences can be mined and corresponding travelling plans can be suggested via multisource data visualization-based knowledge discovery means.
