Abstract

There are many tours in Indonesia but not all tourist areas are managed by the local government properly, related parties are less able to promote tourism in a web-based way. Therefore, many tourists do not visit tourist attractions whose information is not managed properly. Geographic Information System is the answer to the problems that exist in the field of tourism. Geographic Information System is developed by applying a circular method which can later help prospective tourists who want to visit a place by searching for tourist attractions to visit, tourists can see the locations they want to go to, accompanied by maps, and on the other hand related parties will also experience benefits in the form of foreign exchange input from tourists. Thus, this research is expected to produce a geographic information system that helps recommend types of tourist destinations that are suitable to visit. The development of a Geographic Information System that is built is a website that makes it easier for visitors or guests who will go to the tourist area.
