TOURISM SPOTS DETECTION MOBILE APPLICATION

Bachelor of Information Systems (Honours) Information Systems Engineering Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (Kampar Campus), UTAR. It is hereby confirmed that ______WONG WEI JUN_____ (ID no: __18ACB01858_) has completed this last year's project entitled "TOURISM SPOTS DETECTION MOBILE APPLICATION" under the supervision of Ts Dr. Chan Lee Kwun (Supervisor) from the Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Information Systems. and communication technology, and Ts Dr. Wong Pei Voon (moderator) from the Department of Digital Economy Technology, Faculty of Information and Communication Technology. I declare that this report entitled "MOBILE APPLICATION FOR TOURISM DETECTION" is my own work, except as cited in the references.

Wong Pei Voon who has given me a golden opportunity to involve myself in the field study of mobile applications. The project is to develop a mobile application for the tourism industry in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. The project designed to be a mobile application is due to the convenience of using it during the busy tourist journey.

According to the research, as shown in the literature session, there are currently no markets to implement a tourism mobile application in a certain area of Petaling Jaya, and there is only an application that is not fully developed. The app is designed and draws ideas/resources from various mobile apps to develop a better version of the mobile app that gives the user a better experience while traveling around Petaling Jaya.

Project Objectives
Background Information

Based on the research of the mobile application in the market, there are the fewest applications that are fully implemented with many features that are proposed to the user to experience. This module is intended to help the user record the total budget during the trip. The module allows the user to adjust the date, time and location for the journey across the city.

The user can plan his own trip with the guidance provided in each module. This module is to collect the bucket list of the user's desired place to travel. This is to allow the user to tick off the performance bucket list during their journey around PJ.

This is to design for user's convenience to spread the happy moment around PJ. For the following modules, it is able to customize the travel and budget expenses and create forum discussion to facilitate the planning of the user.

Most of the tourism app are not providing the feature for the user to plan their trip, however it provides in this app a nice interface. However, the user only needs to update the duration or day or even manage the days manually (Figure 2.1.2.2). Each of the activities is able to exchange the order manually by the user for his desired schedule.

However, the module lacks a reminder function, so the user always needs to open the app for reference. In addition, with each plan, the user does not know what time is free and available for rest time. In the TravelSpend mobile app, it has provided functions to calculate the expenses that the user spends.

The user will first insert the travel budget, travel name, currency and date, and update the expenses during the entire trip referred to (Figure 2.1.3.1). As you enter each expense spend, the system will find the user's current location and the date of the user's completed information. In addition, it provided statistics navigation so that the user could identify the percentage of each type of expenditure to which the user's consumption refers (Figure 2.1.3.3).

For the Map Navigation Bar, it brings the user to look at a map to which the expenses spent at the respective locations with the respective logo refer (Figure 2.1.3.6). The critical review about the mobile application is that there are too many features required for premium users where it required the user to pay for the service. The user just needs to mark off the places where the user has gone before, and the system will color the places for the respective country's flag color in the Flag Map page referred to (Figure 2.1.4.3).

After updating the locations as mentioned above, the user can review the My Locations page to view the customized travel page. From this, they may be able to see where the user has traveled before. Each of the images at the top looks like a button feature that will be in color when clicked by the user.
