“…The HTAB tool is a web-based digital application that triggers a pipeline behind the web platform. The synergy between a web-based application and ontology-based approaches is widely documented in the literature, and some examples can also be traced in the tourism industry [23,24]. The pipeline receives data, preprocesses and cleans the data, exchanges and translates the data into a semantic representation of the HEALPS2 data model, and produces the output results with recommendations and suggestions for the destination (Fig.…”

This work describes the challenges, techniques, and methodologies to develop a digital tool that aims to improve framework conditions and tools for better utilization of Alpine natural resources in health tourism. Starting from the literature analysis and an online survey, the system implemented a comprehensive knowledge base adopted for an ontology-based Decision Support System leveraging on identified Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Relying on this knowledge, the digital tool provides a list of tailored and customized recommendations for each destination within the Alpine area. This result helps the stakeholders capitalize on the nature-based health tourism potentials of their region in relation to the existence of the natural resources and different target users’ health conditions. This strategic digital tool is developed as a web-based application for destinations’ policy-makers and managers to fill the online survey and receive customized suggestions, recommendations, and insights on how to further exploit their natural resources in order to enhance nature-based health tourism.

“…[12], defining a cruise cabin comfort ontology, and the basic definition of how to use a reasoner for cabin comfort is described in Ref. [13]. Nevertheless, indoor comfort is a widely debated topic in several disciplines that emerged in the last several decades, such as Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) [14], Ambient Intelligence (AmI) [15] and Context Awareness (CA) [16].…”

The international tourism competition poses new challenges to the cruise sector, such as the achievement of the tourists’ satisfaction and the increase in on board comfort. Moreover, the growing sophistication of tourists’ needs leads to a more user-centric touristic offer. Consequently, a personalized cabin environment, which fits the users’ activities and their characteristics, could be a plus value during the cruise vacation. These topics, however, are strictly connected with the diffusion of digital technologies and dynamics, which represent the tools to achieve the goal of a customized on-cruise experience. This paper presents E-Cabin, a novel Internet of Things (IoT) framework architecture that has at its core a reasoning system tuned on data gathered from the environment and from each specific passenger and the activities he/she performs. The framework leverages on knowledge representation with ontologies and consists of a publisher–subscriber communication framework that allows all of the IoT applications to use the reasoner and the provided ontologies. The paper demonstrates the proposed system in a demo cruise cabin where, by using the E-Cabin application, it is possible to set various atmospheres based on the users and activities occurring in the cabin.
