Many sightseeing spots distributes sightseeing guidebooks of paper media at facilities such as tourist information centers, hotels, and stations which are the base of sightseeing. A paper sightseeing guidebook is valuable means to collect sightseeing information for tourists. However, from the tourist’s side, it is difficult to quickly find guidebook that one wants because too many kinds of guidebooks are distributed. From the information provider side, if the content of the guidebook changes, it is necessary to collect and correct the once distributed guidebooks and rebuild and redistribute. Also, there is a problem that it is impossible to grasp the use situation of the guide book. We developed the sightseeing guidebook automatic generation printing system according to the attribute of tourists (KadaTabi). KadaTabi is a system that creates recommended sightseeing guidebooks considering tourist attribute and sightseeing season and prints via a cloud printer. In this paper, we describe the development of a sightseeing guidebook automatic generation printing system according to tourist attributes (KadaTabi).
