Abstract
Todays tourists expect to get personalized access to tourism
information at anytime, from anywhere with any media. Mobile tourism guides
provide the user with such an ubiquitous access. The prerequisite for this is the
notion of customisation, requiring awareness of the applications context
together with appropriate adaptation mechanisms. Currently, there is a
proliferation of mobile tourism guides, proposing an unmanageable number of
diverse functionalities. This paper sheds light on those approaches by
identifying their strengths and weaknesses, thus providing the basis for nextgeneration
mobile tourism guides. For this, an evaluation framework is used
comprising detailed criteria for the two orthogonal dimensions of context and
adaptation.
