A system and method for guiding a party of people around a facility having a plurality of consecutively designated events to be visited by the party, each event having a front area port and an exit area port associated therewith, includes a system control center for transmitting information to and receiving information from the front area ports and exit area ports, a system for designating an event to be visited by the party and for subsequently designating a next event to be visited by the party, the next event bearing a designation other than the next consecutive designation compared with the designation of the event visited. The front area ports and the exit area ports are able to transmit information to and receive information from the system control center. The order in which the events are visited is determined by the system control center in response to information identifying the party and at least one of the events may be visited out of the consecutively designated order of the events. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The Universal Intelligent Group Guidance (UIGG) System is a universal and multidisciplinary system, the purpose of which is to achieve the optimum administration of space, time, and the other resources of those multiple facilities where a given management or organization offers different repetitive and/or periodic events, to persons or to discrete groups of persons, within a physical or virtual scenario common to the events. The facilities are those made up of multiple different events directed to the attention and/or participation of discrete groups of persons. These include, among others, facilities that offer recreation, exhibitions, excursions, demonstrations, tourism, and education. The system is universal, given the fact that it is universally applicable to those activities that comprise the group, event, and scenario, under a common management or organization, as described and/or defined in this document. UIGG is a system that, while being simple in concept, is adaptable to any installation or facility, however large and complex it may be. The UIGG system can be used in facilities that are small or large, formal or informal, and of short or long duration. The characteristic that makes the UIGG system unique is the group guidance technique that is used. The group guidance system is based on an exchange of information and commands between each group and the system, through which the system indicates to each group which event they should be attending each time the system is queried for that information. Each group reports to the system at the commencement and termination of participation in each event. The technique is dynamic, both in the execution of its routines and in the updating of its knowledge regarding the progress of each group and the situation of the events of the scenario. The technique is put into practice through the use of computer software designed for each particular application; it is provided with all data related to the scenario, the events, and the groups participating in the activity
