A GRASP to solve the multi-constraints multi-modal team orienteering problem with time windows for groups with heterogeneous preferences

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 resources. Intelligent systems, recommendation systems, and electronic tourist guides can play a decisive role in tourist...

Tourists demand information and services that help plan and organise the trips adapted to their preferences and resources.
