Planning a city trip requires a lot of preparation: gather touristic information, selecting the most appropriate attractions and events, determining the best sequence of visiting taking into account opening hours and locations, etc. This is often a difficult and time consuming task. The ‘Citytrip Planner’ simplifies this process.
On July, 7, the Flemish “Art cities” (Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Leuven en Mechlin), together with the Centre for Industrial Management of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the research unit IT of KaHo Sint-Lieven Ghent and the company RouteYou from Ghent, launched the ‘Citytrip Planner’. This unique web site presents a personal city trip, fast and efficiently.
How does it work? First, you enter some trip data (date of the trip, number of days, starting and ending point, start and end time, etc. ) and you answer some short questions to determine your interest profile. The Citytrip Planner immediately proposes a trip taking into account your interests, the trip data and the attraction opening hours. The attractions that were selected automatically and the route between them are shown on a map. Short descriptions and pictures of each attraction can be consulted as well. Furthermore, a list of attractions matching your profile but not selected in the trip is presented. You can change the proposed trip and then, using the RouteYou software, print the trip or download it on your
own mobile device.
The Citytrip Planner is available via www.citytripplanner.com .
