Abstract: Recommendation data that matches a preference of a user and includes data on a facility available for the user is generated based on various data. The various data include registration data on the user, hobby data on the user, registration data on the various facilities, and use situation data on the various facilities. The recommendation data is transmitted to the user terminal. After transmission of the recommendation data, it is determined whether the reservation request data has been received from the user terminal or not. The reservation request data includes data on a requested facility wished by the user, and data on an available time slot of the requested facility. When it is determined that the reservation request data has been received, a reservation of the requested facility covering the available time slot is made based on the reservation request data.
