The focus of this workshop is to address the unique challenges faced by recommender systems in the tourism domain. Planning a vacation typically involves searching for a variety of interconnected products, such as transportation, lodging, and attractions, which have limited availability and are affected by contextual factors like time, location, and weather. RecTour 2023 seeks to attract innovative ideas that can advance the state of the art in tourism recommenders. The workshop will cover various topics, including specific applications and case studies for evaluation, techniques and methods, context and mobility, the cold-start problem, preference elicitation, and emotions and recommenders. The organizers are inviting researchers and practitioners from diverse fields to submit research papers, position papers, project proposals, and demo systems.
