A u-tour system for a tour leader in a guided group package tour

Abstract

Tour" is an emotional word to lots of people. When a person decides to take a trip, one can be classified into two types of tourists, an active and passive tourist. An active tourist has to prepare everything for the satisfactory tour. On the contrary, a passive tourist who is generally inclined to use a guided group package tour prepares less something than an active tourist. Thus, much research and many attempts have been conducted to help an active tourist. In contrast, little research and few attempts have been conducted for a passive tourist in a guided group package tour. However, responsibilities of a tour leader in a guided group package tour are very important for guaranteeing satisfactory tours. In this paper, we proposed the u-Tour system which can help a tour leader and passive tourists. A tour leader can easily check the roll of tourists, and offer oral relevant information at each visiting place. Tourists can satisfactorily listen to the relevant information at each visiting place. Additionally, tourists don't need to worry about straying from a group at unfamiliar places.
