WebTour 2021 Workshop on Web Tourism

Over the years, the Web has become a premier source of information in almost every area we can think about. When considering tourism, the Web became the primary source of information for travelers. When planning trips, people search for information about destinations, accommodations, attractions, means of transportation, in short, everything related to their future trip. Once done searching they reserve almost everything online. The blessing of the easily accessible information comes with the curse of information overload. This brings Web search techniques and recommendation systems come into play. This is especially true recently with the appearance of COVID-19 and the uncertainty and transformative power it brings to travelling. WebTour 2021 brings together researchers and practitioners working on developing and improving tools and techniques for improving users ability to better find relevant information that matches their needs.
