Abstract:
A method for grouping hotels for a travel entity may include identifying a plurality of hotels stayed at in the past by members of a travel entity, identifying a subset of hotels having a particular significance to the travel entity, each hotel being associated with a position indicator, clustering hotels in the subset of hotels using a clustering algorithm, where the position indicator for each hotel serves as the basis for calculating a geographical similarity measure for the clustering algorithm, identifying hotels not used by the travel entity but that are within the boundaries of the clusters, and optionally displaying a visual depiction of a cluster of hotels.
