Abstract

The research area of collaborative information retrieval (CIR) has received increasing interest from interactive information retrieval researchers in recent years. Various studies on CIR have been conducted within different contexts and illuminated some key aspects of CIR. However, the research area of CIR for tourism is still in its early stages. This paper reports on our ongoing research into the development of a collaborative tourism information retrieval model that combines the processes of tourists' collaboration and information retrieval. Based on prior research and our survey results, a preliminary theoretical model of CIR in tourism domain was developed. The model provides insights for our future design of a collaborative tourism information retrieval system.
