We are very happy to announce a partnership with deciZium, a university spin-off created at the department of mathematics and operational research of Mons Polytechnic Faculty (www.fpms.ac.be) in Belgium in 2004. They have been developing their proprietary algorithm since 2002 that can create in 10 seconds what would take a person +10 hours.
Imagine going into your local travel office, only having in mind roughly your travel budget and the spot on the globe you want to travel to. Ten seconds afterwards you could go through the proposed travel itinerary and activities (all the attractions, hotels, transporation methods with prices and possibility to book) with them. Ten minutes later you would have a print-out of your dream travel, all pre-booked just for you.
A scenario only possible with deciZium and their product "YourTour".
In more detail:
This product could be seen as a "personal tour operator". Thanks to an advanced multi-criteria mathematical algorithm, it is possible to automatically create fully-customised trips, in a simple, quick and interactive way, in accordance with the tourist's preferences, wishes, and constraints. This unique technology processes 3-4 million tours in about 10-15 seconds to generate a customised travel programme, chronologically listing the attractions to visit and information related to them (including pricing & booking), the hotels to spend the night at and the travel time from one to the next destination.
The "YourTour" product is being marketed to tourist industry professionals (hotel chains, tour operators, tourist boards, etc.). It enables them to easily and rapidly propose fully customised travel packages (transportation, accommodation and attractions) to their customers or let them organise their trips on their own through an easy to use online application.
The online demonstration of "YourTour" is used in deciZium's marketing efforts to underscore the immediate availability of this solution and its ease of use. It integrates real data of attractions in Florida, USA and Belgium. It includes transportation modes not bound to a schedule (foot, car transportation) with support for schedule-bound transportation modes (plane, bus, train) in the works and expected to be completed in the next months (dated September, 2006).
