Difference between Tourism Geographic Information System and General Tourism System

The establishment of tourism information system will improve the efficiency of tourism decision-making with its fast and efficient functions of collection, storage, collation, output, query and retrieval, and make tourism planning more scientific with its superior spatial analysis function.

Tourism has a strong correlation with geographic information, and many elements in GIS, such as graphics, regional landscape resources information, traffic routes, etc., are closely related to tourism. Compared with the general tourism information system, the tourism information system supported by GIS can complete some special functions, such as graphic analysis, comprehensive processing and analysis of spatial data. With the powerful spatial data retrieval function of GIS, we can not only find out the required attribute information from the system, but also visually see the distribution of information entities in graphic form, which provides scientific basis for managers and decision makers to master the spatial layout, real-time dynamic changes, optimal route selection and optimal landscape combination scheme of tourism resources.

With the rapid development of tourism, the traditional tourist map has been far from meeting people's needs. Tourism is developing towards informationization, networking and automation. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology with spatial information processing as the core has powerful functions such as spatial information management, spatial information analysis, spatial information query and three-dimensional image display. Become the preferred platform for tourism informatization.

Tourism system consists of four parts: tourism market subsystem, tourism destination attraction subsystem, tourism enterprise subsystem and tourism support and guarantee subsystem, which is a complex with specific structure, function and goal.
