Abstract
When searching for accommodations, although one or more accommodations may satisfy factors or criteria set by a traveler (e.g., a user), the traveler may desire to locate an accommodation that is also in a convenient area. A convenient area may be an area in which a concentration of points of interest (POIs) is high. For example, a traveler on a leisure trip may desire to stay at a hotel that is in an area with a relatively high concentration of restaurants or tourist attractions, or as a traveler on a business trip may desire to stay at a hotel near an airport or convention hall. Thus, some example embodiments provide accommodation search results to one or more users based on a concentration of points of interest. The accommodation search results may be provided graphically, textually, or any suitable combination thereof.
