Standard tours combined with lack of information make many tourists miss some important experiences a destination has to offer. The target of the Dynamic Tour Guide (DTG) is to discover Tour Building Blocks (TBB), eg attractions like sights or restaurants, dependent on the actual context which is defined by personal interests, location and schedule of a tourist. It determines current information, eg opening hours or availability. It plans an individual tour, provides navigational guidance during the execution and offers information depending among others on the direction the tourist is approaching the attraction. All together the DTG is a mobile agent enabling a personalized, spontaneous and guided tour.
