چکیده

Group sightseeing has some advantages in terms of required budget and so on. Some travel agents provide package tours of group sightseeing, but participants have to follow a predetermined schedule in tour, and thus there may be no plan which perfectly satisfies the tourist’s expectation. In this paper, we formalize a problem to find group sightseeing schedules for each user from given users’ preferences and time restrictions corresponding to each destination. We also propose a Genetic Algorithm-based algorithm to solve the problem. We implemented and evaluated the method, and confirmed that our algorithm finds efficient routes for group sightseeing.
