This model enables for the design of effective advertising strategies in tourism industry, by exploiting data mining methods such as predictive visual analytics. The e-marketing system that is created based on the proposed model, is used to optimally display the collected data, revealing customers’ preferences to e-marketers through emerging user-friendly interfaces. The applicability and usefulness of the system were tested, by interviewing a sample of hotel marketing managers.
