Abstract
In one embodiment, a social-networking system may receive, from a client system of a first user of an online social network, an indication that the first user is traveling to a first geographic location, and identify one or more second geographic locations within a threshold distance from the first geographic location. The second geographic locations may be determined based on a travel-recommendation model. The travel-recommendation model may include aggregated user information from the online social network associated with the first user and aggregated travel information from the online social network associated with one or more second users of the online social network who have traveled to the first geographic location. The social-networking system may generate travel recommendations based on the identified second geographic locations, and then send, to the client system of the first user, one or more of the travel recommendations for display to the first user.
