The growing use of Recommender Systems (RS) across various industries, including e-commerce, social media, news, travel, and tourism, has prompted researchers to examine these systems for any biases or fairness concerns. Fairness in RS is a multi-faceted concept ensuring fair outcomes for all stakeholders involved in the recommendation process, and its definition can vary based on the context and domain. This paper highlights the importance of evaluating RS from multiple stakeholders' perspectives, specifically focusing on Tourism Recommender Systems (TRS). Stakeholders in TRS are categorized based on their main fairness criteria, and the paper reviews state-of-the-art research on TRS fairness from various viewpoints. It also outlines the challenges, potential solutions, and research gaps in developing fair TRS. The paper concludes that designing fair TRS is a multi-dimensional process that requires consideration not only of the other stakeholders but also of the environmental impact and effects of overtourism and undertourism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
