SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AND MANAGING TRAVEL INFORMATION BASED ON USER CHARACTERISTIC

The present invention relates to a travel itinerary management system, and in particular, provides travel information based on user characteristics that analyzes traveler characteristics and provides a travel schedule management service based on information estimated according to the preferences of other travelers in a group with similar characteristics and management systems and methods.

Recently, with the improvement of living standards, interest in using leisure time has increased, and interest in travel is increasing. However, it can be said that a lot of preliminary research by travelers is required for a good trip.

Accordingly, travel agencies that sell travel products are booming. Travel agencies combine hotels, air tickets, meals, guides, and transportation as a single package product, or sell hotel accommodation vouchers and air tickets individually. You will purchase products at the best price for the region and place you want to travel.

However, in general, travel products sold by travel agencies can be said to be supplier-oriented products that are directly scheduled by the travel agency that sells the products and constitute the products. This means that travel agencies do not plan and sell products with the schedule that individual consumers want, and in most cases, the travel agency's planners comprehensively consider local and company conditions, existing customers, and the preferences of average travelers analyzed on their own. We plan and sell products.

Accordingly, travel products sold by travel agencies are convenient because they include everything necessary for travel, but there is a limitation in not reflecting the tastes of each individual traveler. In other words, even when traveling in the same area, the places that travelers want to go, food they want to eat, and accommodation facilities are different, so it is difficult to satisfy the tastes of many travelers with various characteristics with products planned and provided by travel agencies. There is a problem.
