Amar Bangladesh - a Machine Learning Based Smart Tourist Guidance System

Tourism is a very prominent sector for many third world countries around the world as a greater portion of their economy is dependent on it. In countries like Bangladesh, who are blessed with enriched natural beauty, are often lagging behind to attract more tourists both by private and government organizations. Amar Bangladesh is the first tourism-based smart phone application to introduce machine learning in its program. The mobile application uses the Google Maps API and finds out the location of all points of interest added to the database by the Admin. An user will be able to log in to this app using their basic information or Facebook details. Upon logging in, users will plan their day long trips starting from the nearest attraction. They can deselect attractions which they do not prefer. The ML program used in this application will find the most suitable routes to reach the destinations one by one. Suggestions developed through machine learning would appear each time while choosing their points of interest. Users will also be able to write notes as a mean of diary entry which will be saved on their phones offline database. Users may allow public access to those entries or restrict them from sharing too.
