  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a recommendation system for the adaptive delivery of nutrition contents both to healthy and chronically ill tourists in order to improve their quality of life by combining the needs of leisure with health benefits. The proposed system provides individualized nutritional recommendation according to the health user profile. The profile is created through the supply of dynamic real time questionnaire to the user. The system is able to suggest not only the use of specific typical foods, but also it gives dietary indications related to some specific pathologies or health conditions.
