Abstract
With the recent and fast developments in technology, smart phones
offer many advanced services rather than making calls, so the number of
smart phone users increases day by day. User can install and run many
smart phone applications that make life easier or enjoyable.
One of the areas that users can benefit from smart phone
applications is tourism. Many tourists visit a region or city in limited time
which may not be enough to visit everywhere. So that tourists are obliged
to select attractive spots. Usually they make this selection by searching
web sites, magazines, or guidebooks. After the selection is made, the
tourist decides the trip route which can take a lot of time. Tourists face
several difficulties acting this way: information in guidebooks is mostly
not up-to-date, spots are (partly) closed due to renovation and some
timetables (museum, for example) are unavailable.
An application that can provide valuable information to guide the
tourists in their trip can be so beneficial. The goal of this application is to
provide tourism and geographic services through mobile phone
application that encourage tourists to travel around the city and reduce
efforts and shorten the time to organize the city trip.
