Contextual Aware Computing and Tourism: A Case Study

An adaptive mobile application leveraging the Context Dimension Tree (CDT) successfully enhances personalized tourism experiences on the Amalfi Coast, particularly in Praiano. The app dynamically tailors recommendations based on users' real-time location and profiles, accommodating diverse tourist groups such as Italian and foreign visitors. Experimental results demonstrated its effectiveness, offering a scalable model for context-aware computing in heritage tourism. This approach bridges technological innovation with cultural preservation, providing a data-driven solution to improve visitor engagement while respecting site-specific characteristics.
