There's definitely some great location based hacking potential here:
Note the conference will be in Cancun Mexico!
Extended call for papers: paper submission, August 31st, 2011!

1st International Workshop on Contextual Computing and Ambient
Intelligence in Tourism
Celebrating within the V Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient
Intelligence (UCAmI'11)
December 5 - 9, 2011
Riviera Maya, Mexico
UCAmI'11: http://mami.uclm.es/ucami2011/
Workshop: http://ucami.tourgune.org:8182/
===============================================================================
People’s mobility today is central in societies and its comprehension is
essential to understand the current way of life. Recently, intensive
scientific efforts have been invested in better understanding this
phenomenon. At the same time and linked with human mobility, eTourism
represents a very active research field in Computer Science. In
particular, in the realm of ubiquitous computing. The evolution of
mobile devices and their proliferation in society, the advancement of
communication technologies and the trend towards creating hybrid spaces
(symbiosis between nature and technology) will trigger a radical change
in the way persons en route, “visitors” in operative terms, interact
with their environment.
In the near future most of these people will have spent a large part of
their (adult) lives in the digital era. Time will continue to be an
increasingly scarce resource, and occasional visitors of this kind will
demand anytime, anywhere kinds of services adapted to both their
personal and environmental contexts. Therefore, context-based
applications will not only shape the future of tourism services, but
also provide with the opportunity to better understand human behaviour
in the future knowledge society.
The aim of the Workshop is to share knowledge, experience and ideas
regarding the development of tourism mobile information systems; an
additional goal is to encourage/facilitate innovative and in-depth
analysis in order to overcome existing barriers in the design and
engineering of context-aware and easy-to-use and develop ICT systems in
tourism.
The Workshop will follow a format supporting in-depth discussion and
collaboration of participants. As such, each session will include
extended presentations (20 – 30 minutes) and time for further discussion.
Papers are invited on the various themes indicated below:
* Middleware architectures;
* Context-Awareness;
* Context modeling and management;
* Context reasoning;
* Mobile Recommender Systems;
* mCommerce;
* Context-assisted search;
* Mobile Social Networks;
* Location-based services;
* Trends in mTourism business models;
* Cloud computing and tourism mobile applications;
* Linked data in tourism mobile applications
