Abstract
Web-based Tourism Information Systems (TIS) offer tourists an enormous quantity of information and data. But this amount of information is useless if a TIS does not offer adequate search functionalities, which support the tourist finding the most relevant data for each request. In this context two general problems can be identified. First, the tourist has only vague or ambiguous input information. Second, although the search criteria are exactly defined by the tourist, the result set provided by the TIS is empty, incomplete or not satisfying. Existing TIS support only conventional search functionalities and return only exact hits. Because of this these systems are far away to be error-tolerant, which is reflected in their hit ratio.
