The scope of this postgraduate dissertation is the design and development of a dynamic
website for a region‟s tourism promotion (online tourist guide). Special attention and priority has
been given to building the website so that navigation is simple, easy to use and every user can
easily and quickly find what they are looking for. This website offers the visitor the ability to
browse through the various sections to find all the necessary information about this destination,
in a user-friendly environment. Specifically, one can find information on hotels, excursions,
beaches, attractions as well as other additional services.
In addition, through a recommendation algorithm, the system displays suggestions for other
hotels or restaurants based on their visitor rates. For example, if user A has visited the
webpages of the five-star hotels H1, H2 and H3, and user B visits the H1 hotel webpage, the
system suggests user B the H2 and H3 hotels. At the same time, it is checked which of these
users has visited at least one hotel that another user has, resulting in suggestions to the first
user of the hotels that the latter has already visited (likewise for the restaurants). However, the
website does not provide services other than presentation of information and the
recommendation system to the user, since the need for the travel guide is to have an online
profile through which supportive material is provided for possible future cooperation with travel
agents or/and customers.
In conclusion, an evaluation is made for those guests who want to vote each of the hotels
and restaurants.
