HistoMind: AI-Based Historical Place Navigator

This research addresses a critical gap in Sri Lanka's tourism infrastructure: the absence of a comprehensive smart location-based recommendation system with a route planner and a multilingual AI chatbot. To date, no integrated solution has been developed to cater to the diverse preferences of tourists, offer community-validated recommendations, and bridge language barriers. This research is pioneering the creation of these novel systems, with a clear focus on enhancing the tourism experience and supporting the country's economy. The smart recommendation system harmonizes various recommendation techniques, encompassing user preferences, community-approved choices, and hidden gems. By integrating these aspects, the system aims to provide tourists with personalized, community-endorsed recommendations while introducing them to unique destinations, thus addressing the existing void in Sri Lanka's tourism landscape. Furthermore, the AI-based multilingual chatbot tackles the language barrier head-on, enabling tourists to communicate effortlessly in their native language, a feature hitherto unavailable in the Sri Lankan tourism sector. This innovation aims to break down language barriers, making the country more accessible to a global audience. Through advanced methodologies and cutting-edge technology, this research strives to fill these critical gaps, promising a brighter future for Sri Lanka's tourism and its economic prosperity.
