Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus acquires face image data of a passenger who has disembarked from an aircraft, and acquires flight information corresponding to the face image data acquired by an image capture device from a storage device in which flight information of the passenger and the face image data of the passenger are stored in association with each other in advance. It is determined based on the acquired flight information whether the passenger is a transit passenger. Sightseeing area information regarding the sightseeing area of the tour is acquired, and if the passenger is a transit passenger, a tour based on the sightseeing area information and flight information is searched for. The information of the searched-for tour is displayed on display devices.
