Context-aware computing for improving the touristic experience: A pervasive app for the Amalfi coast

A context-aware computing approach enhances the touristic experience by dynamically adapting itineraries and services to individual user needs, leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. This study demonstrates that personalized content delivery improves engagement on the Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Southern Italy. The research introduces an adaptive system capable of tracking contextual changes—such as user preferences or environmental factors—to tailor real-time recommendations. Experimental validation confirms the effectiveness of this method in optimizing travel experiences, offering a scalable model for other heritage sites.
