  • Publication number: 20230410014
    Abstract: Tour schedule information including information on locations of at least three sightseeing spots, information on stay times at these sightseeing spots, and information on a tour time frame to tour these sightseeing spots is acquired. A tour area including these sightseeing spots is set based on the information on the locations. The degrees of congestion in these sightseeing spots and in the tour area are predicted. Whether a candidate for a tour plan can be generated is determined based on the information on the stay times, the information on the tour time frame, and the degree of congestion in these sightseeing spots and in the tour area. When it is determined that the candidate for the tour plan cannot be generated, a candidate for an alternative tour plan, in which a part of these sightseeing spots is changed to a different sightseeing spot outside the tour area, is generated.
