In this demo, we showcase a novel mobile application that offers various ways to present recommendations to users. While the majority of the existing applications in the tourism domain either focus on event recommendation or event browsing, our mobile application acknowledges the fact that users have different interests at different times and for different occasions. Consequently, while suggested events are filtered and ranked by proximity and date ranges to ensure they suit users' needs, each user is allowed to choose how to access these suggestions in one of four ways: search, categorized browsing, following, and traditional recommendations.

In this demo, we showcase a set up wizard designed to bypass the cold start problem that often affects recommendation systems in the event domain. We have developed a mobile application for tourists, RelEVENT, which allows them to quickly and non-intrusively set up preferences and/or interests related to events. This will directly affect the degree to which they can receive personalized recommendations on-the-fly and become aware of events happening around town that might be appealing to them.
