Abstract

This paper describes a proposal to develop a Tourism Recommendation System based in Users and Points-of-Interest (POI) profiles The main focus of this work is to evaluate if gathered user’s physical and psychological functionality levels will return more accurate recommendation results. This work also aims to contribute with a different way to classify (POI) considering their capacity measured in accessibility levels to receive tourists with certain levels of physical and psychological issues that will be described in this paper sections.
