Abstract

The Workshop on Recommenders in Tourism (RecTour) has been successfully held in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys) since 2016, with the exception of one year. This workshop focuses on the unique and evolving challenges of recommender systems in the tourism domain. Over time, RecTour has fostered an active community supported by both academia and industry. In this overview paper, we outline our motivations for organizing the RecTour workshop and highlight the main topics covered in RecTour submissions, including destination recommendation, privacy concerns in travel recommender systems, the cold-start problem, transformer-based approaches in recommendation systems, and best practices for evaluation and experimentation.
