Abstract :
Dynamic Packaging Systems in e-Tourism Information System is a new form of business that support e-tourism as well as e-travel organizations like as airlines, hoteliers, car rental companies, leisure suppliers, and travel agencies. One main type of e-tourism applications that has surfaced to support these requirements is dynamic packaging systems in recent years. In traditional systems, travelers must visit across multiple web sites to plan their vacations or holiday trips. Most of the time users have to register themselves multiple times along with their personal details with travelling related information like number of days for tour etc. After that users have to wait for response or confirmation or call from many travel agencies for making their tour dynamic. In this paper we are particularly showing the development of dynamic packaging applications in e-tourism. Dynamic packaging is the combination of different type of travel components. In our paper we have developed a different approach to dynamically packaging in more effective way using the semantic Web technologies. The proposed system for Dynamic packaging enables users to build a customized route by assembling various components of their interest which will be helpful to control the cost of package also. The paper is showing the proposed architecture, data flow diagram and algorithms to fulfill the individual needs.
