TL;DR: Proposing a conceptualization of offer categories for enabling their usage in multimodal travel shopping

Abstract: Current travel planning applications provide only a limited support to users for an informed selection of travel solutions. The categorization of travel offers contributes to solve this limitation complementing basic information and creating awareness on the selection. This paper reports the work done for the conceptualization of offer categories and proposes a solution for enabling their usage in multimodal travel shopping.
