In an airport terminal 1, an identification tag 5 for transmitting inherent identification tag information and its position information is handed to a customer 6. The information is received by a tag recognition apparatus 2 and transferred to a recognition PC 8 which analyzes the received information and transmits the analysis result to an image data server 9. The server 9 reads out image data for a guidance convenient to the customer 6. An image creation PC 10 generates a guidance image signal base on the image data and transmits it to an image projector 3 closest to the customer 6 thereby to display a guidance image 4 on a floor surface 1a near the customer 6. If the customer 6 has enough time, the guidance information of available facilities is displayed as a part of the guidance image 4.
