Abstract: The phenomenon of searching for travel information on the Web is reported. The issues of how predominant travel searching is on the Web, how people are searching for travel information on the Web, and what terms people are using to express their travel-related information needs are investigated. Geographical information accounts for nearly 50% of this travel searching, with general travel information accounting for just less than 10%. An analysis of individual terms in travel queries shows there is substantial searching for travelspecific websites such as mapquest, travelocity, and orbitz. Travel searchers appear to be target-specific events, again showing a strong geographical bias along with a temporal component of the underlying information intent. The distribution of travel topics is skewed, with several topics being “very focused” and others being “very general.” A classification scheme for travel-related Web queries was developed, which should be helpful for other researchers in the online travel searching area. The implications for both content providers of travel information and for searchers of travel information on the Web are discussed. Keywords: Web search engines; Web searching; Travel searching; Travel queries; Travel searching terms; Travel information search; Travel query terms.
1. INTRODUCTION Web searching has become a daily behavior for many people, with the Web now the first choice for many of those seeking online information. Their tool of choice is a search engine, with more than 73% of people using a search engine to locate information on theWeb. In order to understand, predict, and influence this usage, it is important to understand both how people use Websearch engines and the Web-searching trends that are emerging within specific domains. ExaminingWeb searching within specific domains is an important area of research that has the potential toincrease the understanding of Web searching, to advance the knowledge of Web searchers’ information needs, and to influence positively the design of Web information system.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW Nowadays tourists expect to get personalized access to tourism information at anytime, from anywhere through any media. Mobile tourism guides provide the user with such a ubiquitous access . With the advancement of technology, mobile devices have made it easier to access information anytime, anywhere. The trend is to replace the printed tour guides with mobile applications. Travelers tend to use such mobile applications due to the convenience they present over conventional guide booksWhen analyzing the tour guide systems of other countries it was found that there have been many researches carried out regarding mobile based tour guide systems. When analyzing the tour guide systems of other countries it was found that there have been many researches carried out regarding mobile based tour guide systems. The system is designed around two main components, the mobile application and the web server. The web server serves the stored information through the mobile application. The data from the Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to provide location information to the mobile device. ”Google Maps” is used where map based services are required. The application allows a 360 degree view of the location. The virtual tour starts at the entrance, and guides the user by displaying arrows
