This chapter presents DieToRecs, a novel case-based travel advisory system. DieToRecs has been designed by incorporating a human decision model that stresses individual differences in decision styles. DieToRecs supports multiple decision styles and provides personalized recommendations exploiting a case base of recommendation sessions, which are stored by the system. Users can access the system through three main functional doors that fit to complementary groups of decision styles. Whichever the door used to enter the system, users can eventually switch the type of support required. The application relies on a component-based architecture, featuring a set of computational engines. One of these engines encapsulates the core functionality of the system - the methodologies used to rank products and manage queries. Other engines are dedicated to the personalization of the GUI and to track user activity. The system has been empirically validated and represents a value-added service for future destination management systems.
