2Cebu: A travel guide web application for assisting tourists in the province of Cebu

Abstract

The province of Cebu is an ideal destination for tourists whether local or international, making it one of the most sought vacation spots in the country. Its variety of tourist spots indicate that Cebu has a lot to offer that tourists ought to discover. Since so much about Cebu has made the rounds in a variety of media, it is in this aspect that information gathering has been confusing and inefficient. The goal is to provide tourists up-to-date and accurate information in a centralized platform. For this study, a web-based application was developed which provided all necessary information and tools that can be used by tourists to plan and organize their trip, locate tourist spots and visit the areas in the province of Cebu. The satisfactory result of 3.9 for User Acceptance Testing show that it has met the goal of creating a travel-guide web application. The system creates more opportunities for Cebu’s tourism industry to expand their reach and engagement to local and foreign tourists alike.
