1. A method comprising:

  • determining, by an apparatus, at least one context associated with at least one user;

    processing, by the apparatus, mobility pattern information associated with the at least one user to determine one or more predicted destination locations and associated probability information based, at least in part, on the at least one context, wherein the probability information represents respective one or more probabilities that the at least one user will travel to the one or more predicted destination locations under the at least one context;

    determining, by the apparatus, entropy information based, at least in part, on the probability information under the at least one context;

    determining, by the apparatus, one or more travel costs for the at least one user to travel to the one or more predicted destination locations; and

    determining, by the apparatus, whether to initiate a presentation of one or more recommended destination locations among the one or more predicted destination locations to the at least one user based, at least in part, on the entropy information and the one or more travel costs.
