Indonesian researchers develop new travel tool using three algorithms

Researchers in Indonesia have developed a tourist recommendation system that combines three computational techniques to help travelers find destinations suited to their preferences and budgets.

System integrates three methods

The new model uses K-means clustering to group attractions by tourism potential. The Floyd-Warshall algorithm calculates shortest distances between destinations to optimize journeys. A weighted product method then ranks options against criteria like cost and safety.

Results improve decision making

By combining these methods, the team obtains more accurate recommendations than using a standalone algorithm. The system includes destination potential and geographical distance in its input data. This approach reduces travel time and costs while improving the decision-making process.
