Abstract

Recommender systems have emerged as a powerful tool in addressing the issue of information overload, they allow to filter and select relevant content that fit users’ preferences and needs. In this paper we describe the general architecture of a recommender system which uses users’ profiles to provide personalized and tailored journey to visitors of the Darâa-Tafilalet region. User profile contains various attributes that characterize the user and reflect his behavior. It helps to recommend the best offers for users and therefore to improve touristic experiences in the region Draâ-Tafilalet.
