Abstract
A travel information distribution system includes a distribution center and a wireless terminal of a user who can readily obtaining necessary travel information in traveling places using the wireless terminal such a portable telephone or a portable personal computer. The user visits a travel agency to apply a travel, has a travel schedule table prepared and registers a telephone number of the wireless terminal in a database. The travel agency sends the data of the user to the distribution center, and distribution center receives travel information from information providers. After the departure of the travel, the distribution center transmits necessary travel information to the user at a proper time in a proper place. The user can obtain the necessary updated information in the necessary place and can be free from a heavy weight travel guidebooks. The distribution center can obtain advertisement incomes from travel agencies and advertisement firms.
