During the last decade, a number of challenging applications in logistics, tourism and other
fields were modelled as orienteering problems (OP). In the orienteering problem, a set of …

The tourism sector represents an opportunity for economic growth in countries with tourism
potential. However, new trends in global tourism require efficiency in tourism supply chain …

A personalised electronic tourist guide assists tourists in planning and enjoying their trip.
The planning problem that needs to be solved, in real-time, can be modelled as a team …

We present the multi-period orienteering problem with multiple time windows (MuPOPTW), a
new routing problem combining objective and constraints of the orienteering problem (OP) …

Improving the travel experience is a goal of tourist destinations. Tourists demand information
and services that help plan and organise the trips adapted to their preferences and …

This paper introduces a Path Relinking metaheuristic approach for solving the Team
Orienteering Problem (TOP), a particular routing problem in which a score is earned for …

The aim of this paper is to present an overview of metaheuristics used in tourism and to
introduce Skewed VNS to solve the team orienteering problem (TOP). Selecting the most …

We study the home health care scheduling problem that considers the synchronized

We propose a new heuristic algorithm for the well-known Orienteering Problem, which aims
at maximising the prize collected at vertices of a graph, visiting them through a simple closed …

The team orienteering problem with time windows (TOPTW) is a highly constrained NP-hard
problem having many practical applications in vehicle routing and production scheduling …
