Is a bonafide work carried out by them under the supervision by Prof. K. T. Mohite
and it is approved for the partial fulfilment of the requirement of Savitribai Phule
Pune University for the Project in the Final Year of Computer Engineering.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who were part of this
seminar in numerous ways, people who gave un-ending support right from the initial stage.
In particular we wish to thank Prof. K.T.Mohite as internal project guide who gave
their co-operation timely and precious guidance without which this project would not have
been a success. We thank them for reviewing the entire project with painstaking efforts and
more of his, unbanning ability to spot the mistakes.
We would like to thank our H.O.D Prof.S.N.Shelke for his continuous
encouragement, support and guidance at each and every stage of project.
And last but not the least we would like to thank all my friends who were Associated
with me and helped me in preparing my project. The project named “Travel and Tourism
Management System using Chatbot Recommender” would not been possible without the
extensive support of people who were directly or indirectly involved in its successful
execution.
Chatbots have gained increasing importance for research and practice with a lot of applications
available today including Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri. In this report, we present the underlying
methods and technologies behind a Chatbot for e-tourism that allows people textually communicate
with the purpose of booking hotels, planning trips, and asking for interesting sights worth being visit.
In particular, we show how model-based reasoning can be used for enhancing user experience during
a chat, e.g., in cases where too many possible selections are available or where user preferences are
too restricted causing inconsistencies and as a consequence not possible answers to be provided.
Besides the underlying foundations, we provide a use case from the intended tourism domain to show
how such a model-based chatbot effectively can be used in practice.

1.1 Overview
1.2 Motivation
Project Scope:
Limitations:
Travel and tourism management systems with integrated chatbot recommenders have gained
significant attention in recent years due to their potential to enhance user experience, provide
personalized recommendations, and streamline the travel planning process. In this literature
survey, we explore the existing research and developments in this field, focusing on key
studies that investigate the integration of chatbots into travel and tourism management
systems.
Assumptions:
1. User Internet Accessibility: Users have access to the internet and can interact with
the system through web application.
2. Data Accuracy: The system assumes that the data regarding destinations,
accommodations and other travel-related information provided by third-party sources
or entered by users are accurate and up-to-date.
3. User Preferences: Users are assumed to provide accurate information about their
preferences, interests, budget constraints, and any other relevant details to receive
personalized recommendations.
4. Language Proficiency: Users are proficient in the language(s) used by the chatbot
for communication, ensuring effective interaction and understanding of
recommendations.
5. Legal Compliance: The system complies with relevant legal regulations and
requirements regarding data protection, privacy, and tourism operations in different
regions and countries.
Dependencies:
1. Data Sources: The system relies on external data sources such as booking
platforms, tourism boards, and user-generated content for gathering information about
destinations, accommodations, activities, etc.
2. API Integration: Integration with third-party APIs is necessary for real-time
availability and pricing information of hotels and other travel-related services.
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP): The chatbot functionality depends on NLP
algorithms and libraries for understanding user queries, extracting relevant
information, and generating appropriate responses.
4. Machine Learning Models: Machine learning models are utilized for analyzing user
preferences, historical data, and feedback to improve recommendation accuracy over
time.
5. Database Management: A robust database management system is essential for
storing and managing large volumes of user data, travel information, preferences, and
chatbot interactions.
6. User Authentication and Security: Dependencies on authentication mechanisms and
security protocols to safeguard user accounts, payment details, and sensitive
information from unauthorized access and breaches.
7. User Interface Design: The effectiveness of the chatbot recommender system relies
on intuitive user interface design across various platforms (web) to ensure seamless
interaction and user engagement.
Functional requirements for a travel and tourism management system with a chatbot
recommender is designed to facilitate efficient and personalized travel planning
experiences for users. Here are some functional requirements:
2. Profile Management:
- Enable users to create and manage their profiles.
- Include options to update personal information, travel preferences
4. Chatbot Recommender:
- Implement a conversational chatbot interface to assist users in planning their trips.
- Utilize natural language processing (NLP) to understand user queries and
preferences.
- Offer personalized recommendations for destinations, accommodations, activities,
and dining options.
Web Interface: The system should have a user-friendly web interface accessible
through standard web browsers. This interface should allow users to search for travel
destinations, book hotels, and activities, view recommendations from the chatbot, and
manage their bookings.
Chatbot Interface: The chatbot interface should be seamlessly integrated into the
web interfaces. Users should be able to interact with the chatbot to receive
personalized recommendations, ask questions, and make bookings using natural
language commands.
The recommendation system’s output can be represented as a function R that combine these
components:
R(t)=w1*Sentiment(t)+w2*Entities(t)+w3*Summary(t)+w4*Translation(t)+w5*Intent(t)
+w6*Topics(t)+w7*Emotion(t)+w8*Context(t)
Level 0:
At the highest level, the Level 0 DFD depicts the entire system as a single process.
It illustrates the interaction between external entities (such as users, admins, and the
chatbot recommender) and the system itself.
External entities send requests or receive outputs from the system.
The Level 1 DFD breaks down the system into major processes or subsystems.
It shows how the system interacts with external entities and how data flows between
processes.
Processes include functionalities like user authentication, trip planning, booking
management, and chatbot interaction.
Level 2:
These UML diagrams provide a comprehensive overview of the Travel and Tourism
Management System with a chatbot recommender, illustrating both its functionalities
and the interactions between its components.
