Abstract

In recent years, the development of worldwide travel has been outstanding. At the same time, due to the fast development of the travel business, it is important to offer tourists an enhanced travel platform that uses a mobile device as a means of travel guide that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. This application allows one to easily access the information of tourism sites in Ethiopia. This can be done by identifying problems of an existing system in the Ethiopia Tourism industry. Some of the issues that we will investigate are how hard it is to know the location of different tourism sites and how they find the right people to contact if they needed some help or make some payment, and another difficulty is that there are many fake tourist sites so in this application we shall have toonly put tourism sites that have been approved by the Ethiopia Tourism Board.The most interesting category is Travel Guides that combines the Information Resources and Location-Based Services category. We will carry out a data collection on the different tourists who would be found on some sites. The people that will be interviewed include the site manager, tourists, and tourist brokers who will help in the achieving in coming up with a legit solution and also use firebase and Android studio used to develop the Travel Guide Application system. They will provide first-hand information about the problems they face and how they thought problems can be solved. We will build a system to solve all existing problems in the tourism industry; the system will have many modules. There will be an Android Application that will be used by tourists to access all the information designed for them. The system administrator will be the one to update the tourist sites
