Applications of Intelligent Systems in Tourism: Relevant Methods

"This article presents a literature review of Intelligent Systems applications in Tourism in different of the world. The review focuses on the most relevant methods in free and paid databases, in and Spanish. Most of the works deal with methodologies based on artificial intelligence, as expert systems, fuzzy logic, machine learning, data mining, neural networks, genetic . In the review, several characteristics of the systems have been taken into account, such , knowledge base, actors in the operation of the system, types of tourists, usefulness or not in space time. According to the review it was found that most of the researches are deterministic models, most used methodology in tourism are the expert systems based on rules, observing an emerging in metaheuristics, mainly genetic algorithms and intelligent systems with knowledge based on optimization methods for route choice or optimal visit plan. It is expected that this serves to give a general perspective on the application of intelligent systems in the area of , as well as a work that consolidates background for work in this area of research.
