Smart Tourism in 1-Click

AbstractThe use and application of technology is the challenge of tourism for the XXI century. Thus, a novel application for mobile devices is deployed. Our application allows you to browse all points of interest to the user such as hotels, restaurants, attractions, etc. Our application incorporates at first instance the city of Mexico, one of the cities most visited by tourists. With respect to Mexico city we added three important features to our application. First, the user can indicate whether traveling by car or walks. Second, user can choose city area to visit, as well as the maximum distance at which he want to move. Third, our application will generate the shortest route to follow. Secondly but no less important, our application incorporates the city of Puebla, a city declared World Heritage. It support the efficiently tourists in planning their stay in Puebla City showing user a set of tourist places and services, both useful for tourists, of which user chooses those who want to know. From this set of selected places our application determines the shortest path using the traveling salesman algorithm. Also, emergency services information about all local points is available. Generation of custom path is integrated, allowing user to have Google maps with all places to visit with a true an accurate location. Finally, our application allows the user to display maps of tourist places in real time without the GPS service, instead we use GPRS via Wireless Application Protocol with the Google Maps API
