The authors suggested and described the architecture of the mobile tourist information system "Mobile information assistant of the tourist" (MIAT), that differs from existing analogs by the presence of user individual characteristics analysis module (character type, age, gender, education, personal preferences, etc.) in this work. The authors have developed a method of dynamic multimedia excursion guidance of tourists, which provides synchronization and playback of personally selected multimedia information in accordance with the planned route. This investigation presents the functional and architectural features of system "MIAT" safety recommender component, the main feature of which is to generate the list of safest tourist destinations on the selected travel period for the user, and recommendations on the potential hazards and methods of overcoming them if the user chooses to visit tourist destination, that is characterized by a high probability of dangerous situations. The component produces a forecast of natural disasters based on Big Data, Data Mining and cluster parallel calculations.
