DIWA
A smart tourism wayfinding concept — IRCITE IT Marketing Challenge 4th place.
$ cat README.md
A smart tourism infrastructure concept designed to address fragmented tourism information and improve decision-making for both tourists and tourism stakeholders. DIWA integrates real-time crowd indexing, predictive analytics, GIS-based spatial visualization, and AI-powered itinerary assistance to transform tourism data into proactive insights and personalized travel experiences. It was entered in the IT Marketing Challenge of the International Research Conference on Information Technology Education (IRCITE) — an annual event organized by the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators - Central Luzon (PSITE-CL) that gathers educators, researchers, and students to share technology innovations and research.
$ cat PROBLEM.md
Tourists and tourism stakeholders rely on fragmented information when deciding where to go, when to visit, and how to plan their activities. Existing tourism information often fails to reflect changing crowd conditions or provide personalized recommendations based on real-time circumstances. DIWA was conceptualized to address this systemic gap by combining tourism data, spatial intelligence, and AI-assisted decision-making.
