“…According to the use of GIS in tourism marketing, it was observed di erent approaches and findings through the literature review. Some studies are related to the conceptual analysis of GIS in tourism marketing (Bertazzon, Crouch, Draper, & Waters, 1997;Elliott-White & Finn, 1997;Feng & Morrison, 2002) and others are more related to case studies where GIS was used as a tool for tourism marketing analysis (Ayed, Bazazo, Hasoneh, & Ayed, 2010;Beeco et al, 2013;Bertazzon et al, 1997;Chancellor & Cole, 2008;Chang & Caneday, 2011;Feng & Morrison, 2002;Jovanović & Njeguš, 2008;Miller, 2008;Supak et al, 2014). First, it will be presented the analysis of papers concerning tourism marketing and GIS conceptual analyses, followed by the analyses of some case studies.…”

A B S T R A C T Geographical Information Systems are tools that allow a better decision making process, accessing politicians and managers in tourism development and providing integrated touristic information. Furthermore, these are powerful tools for the development of destination marketing strategies. Aveiro web-based Geographical Information System was developed, with the purpose of integrating tourism resources in a common platform. Aveiro region is an important coastal wetland of Portugal that presents unique features which allow the development of a sustainable tourism activity, based on natural and cultural characteristics. Despite the diversified resources, it is observed that the Aveiro region needs a strong improvement regarding tourism development and marketing strategies. In this paper, it will be presented the methodology used for the implementation of the first step of this GIS (inventory of resources and creation of the database) and the potential of this tool for the development of a sustainable tourism marketing strategy.

This paper describes the design and evaluation of Uncover: a mobile application that supports users in exploratory pedestrian behavior to gain situational awareness of their immediate environment. The design was based on guidelines derived from foraging theory and relies on egocentric views, which keep the virtual content automatically aligned with the real world. We carried out two studies with Uncover, which examine the successfulness of design choices aiming to support tourists' city exploration while interfering with experiencing the surroundings as little as possible. A lab study tested the effect of different marker and background types on the time to recognize the direction with most content. The designs performing best were implemented in the final prototype, and a field study analyzed the exploration behavior tourists and visitors exhibited while using it. The study showed that supporting the exploration can be improved by enabling features that are either disabled by default or not available at all in commercial map applications, like egocentric orientation of the map, providing images of venues just by pointing to their direction, and displaying clusters of several venue types.

“…Preferences, location sensitive, security, control through web, content added, aesthetics and same for all were classified into the taxonomy for user interactivity level. Beeco et al (2013) used GPS to track travel routes of four groups: low planning and low wandering (ambivalent travellers), low planning and high wandering (traditional wanderers), high planning and low wandering (traditional planners) and high planning and high wandering (planned wanderers).…”

Chiang Mai University (CMU) is ranked as an attractive destination for Chinese tourists. The university has launched a 'Visit CMU' project to serve the tourists with the electric-power vehicles for campus sightseeing. In addition, the tourism schedule has not satisfied the university's expectation including unattractive locations in a current route, therefore, an objective of this research is to study and propose an optimal tourism route in CMU. Travel time data of each point were collected and analysed by a statistical method. Attractive sightseeing places were selected from experts by using an interview. Lastly, all data were employed to generate a computer-simulated scenario by a geographic information system (GIS) program. The results of this research showed that the generated optimal tourism route in GIS by adopting operation times of each tourism electric power vehicles point which had different characteristics and experts' suggested tourism points reduced the travel time and distance.
