What is the ultimate goal of Layoverinfo?
The ultimate goal of Layoverinfo is to build a recommendation function. By taking the ratings of a user as well as basic information from the user profile (such as age and interests) and by comparing this data with the data from other users, the site will be able to make customized recommendations. This sounds complicated (and it is – from a programming perspective) but for the users it will be very simple. Example: you have entered ratings and tips for restaurants and bars you like as well as hotels you stayed at. Now you are going for the first time to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and you have no idea where you should stay (you prefer small hotels), what you should do (you like to play golf) and which restaurants you should go to (you are a vegetarian). Simply use the recommendation tool and Layoverinfo will query the database to find restaurants that other vegetarians have rated highly as well as hotels and golf courses that you should like by comparing your ratings and user profile wit
