Abstract:
Information and communication technology can play a crucial role in advertising large events and in making information available for the attendance experience to be attractive, easy to plan, pleasant and engaging, and to promote the other tourist attractions of the hosting place. Few studies have focused on understanding the role of mobile applications in supporting travellers’ information needs while attending an event onsite and during the preceding travel planning stage. Starting from a concrete case study, this paper discusses the utility of mining usage data collected by a mobile application to identify patterns of adoption and context-dependent usages (in time and space) that characterize different categories of large event attendees. The findings highlight the existence of classes of users with varied travel planning behaviour, ranging from users who start looking for practical information quite in advance, to users who look for information at the very last minute or just when arrived onsite.
