The number of Foreign Independent Tour (FIT) is increasing in the world. This research aims to develop a personal adaptive tourism recommendation system (PATRS) for FIT. This paper describes the concept of PATRS and related researches. In order to develop the PATRS, an easy feature extraction method from a tourism website is required. The classification of photos of tourism spots is an important technology to realize the feature extraction from numerous information in the website. This paper proposes a classification method of photos in a major tourism website by color analysis. From the results on the experiments, we confirmed that the photos in a tourism website can be classified into four classes by the proposed method.
