ABSTRACT

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.
