Description
Summary:Itinerary planning is an important key to organizing a pleasant and smooth trip. It is a process that can be very complicated for a tourist to create an efficient trip. Travelling has become very common but important to people nowadays. Travelling can expand people’s horizons and broaden their knowledge. In this age of advanced internet communication technology, tourists can easily obtain information about travel places on the internet. However, it is very difficult and time-consuming to plan a trip because it needs to do many kinds of research on the places to ensure the trip is unimpeded. To overcome these problems, this project proposes an Android mobile application of the itinerary planner to generate an itinerary plan for users. Since different users may have different tourist attraction preferences, the mobile application will auto-generate an itinerary plan that recommends a list of attractions based on the selection of user preference and the location of selected hotel. Also, it will arrange the best travel route for the user. The user can also modify the itinerary plan by adding places they are interested in or removing places they are not interested in. It will also provide some useful information about the attractions and also the nearby restaurant information to the user for reference. Since this mobile application is developed for Kampar tourism, so it will cover most of the tourist attractions and information around Kampar.
