Booking.com Multi-Destination Trips Dataset
Booking.com’s mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world. By investing in the technology that helps take the friction out of travel, Booking.com seamlessly connects millions of travellers with memorable experiences, a range of transport options and incredible places to stay.
Many of the travellers go on trips which include more than one destination. For instance, a user from the US could fly to Amsterdam for 5 nights, then spend 2 nights in Brussels, 3 in Paris and 1 in Amsterdam again before heading back home. In this scenario, we suggest options for extending their trip immediately they make their booking.
The goal of this challenge is to use a dataset based on millions of real anonymized accommodation reservations to come up with a strategy for making the best recommendation for their next destination in real-time.
The challenge is part of the WebTour 2021 ACM WSDM workshop on web tourism that will be held at the 14th ACM international 2021 WSDM Conference.
The dataset was published for open non-commercial use in SIGIR 2021 and can be used for
Top performing teams will receive prizes sponsored by Booking.com and be invited to submit short papers to the workshop about their solution approach.
