Web and mobile based tourist travel guide system for fiji´s tourism industry

The tourism sector is leading Fiji´s Economy. There are limited technologies used in this sector to address the number of problems faced by the tourists travelling to Fiji. Some of these are bookings for accommodation, retrieving information about different activities in the country, navigation to tourist spots, translation to indigenous Fijian language and access to information on the weather. Tourists also face problems in finding all the tools available in a single application as most of the services are not embedded in a centralized platform. This paper presents a tourism information system that gives a centralized tourist travel guide system for Fiji where a number of services are available. Our proposed system is a centralized system based on web services which provides all necessary information and tools that can be used by tourists to organize their trip. A prototype of the mobile application that demonstrates the proposed system is implemented and tested in order to guide further developments in this area.
