Abstract. Group recommendation systems are the subject of many publications, but still is a gap between research results and group decision support systems' needs. Tourists often do not know which attractions they would like to visit, our Pix2Trips system asks the group's members to indicate images that, in their opinion, they would like. Pix2Trips models the group's preferences and adjusts it to the proposed places' models. Some tourist places in Wroclaw city, Poland, were used in experiments. The paper presents the system's components and discusses the results of the experiments. Conclusions indicate the good overall evaluation of the Pix2Trips system.
