TL;DR
The latest version of CT-Planner4, which becomes accessible via Internet and is improved to achieve more user-friendliness, mainly targets foreigners and is expected to stimulate their hidden/unattended needs of plan consultation.
Abstract
It is often difficult for novice people to make a tour plan for a tight schedule. Hence, we have developed a computer-aided tour planner, which enables the user to design a tour plan with the system in a collaborative manner. This paper introduces its latest version, CT-Planner4, which becomes accessible via Internet and is improved to achieve more user-friendliness. CT-Planner4 mainly targets foreigners and is expected to stimulate their hidden/unattended needs of plan consultation. Our two user tests with international students and foreigners living abroad, and another interviews with tourist advisors substantiates the practicality of CT-Planner4. Finally, we propose the application of its user log to marketing analysis.
