Abstract
Today, the types of tourism are diversifying, and tourists have different needs and their own style of sightseeing. Since tourists can obtain their interesting information about sightseeing area before their sightseeing, they make sightseeing plans to maximize their enjoyment within a limited time schedule before going sightseeing. However, from another point of view, this process seems to lose opportunities for new discoveries and encounters at the local sites of the tourist destination because the tourist follows the pre-planned sightseeing route. That is, it can be said that tourist behavior is restricted by information obtained in advance. In this chapter, the information systems based on Benefit of Inconvenience, which are proposed to generate the lost opportunities for new discoveries, are introduced. However, the great degree of inconvenience would be caused too great an effort to use the system. Therefore, we consider a mechanism with “allowable inconvenience” for sightseeing support. We discuss the allowable inconvenience from various perspectives: in terms of the details of information about sightseeing spots, the locations and timing of presenting information, and the design of presenting textual information about spots.
