Pendahuluan
Pariwisata bagi pemerintah daerah merupakan salah satu aspek untuk meningkatkan pendapatan daerah. Salah satu kendala yang dihadapi oleh pemerintah daerah dalam hal pengembangan pariwisata adalah tidak adanya sistem informasi yang efektif untuk para wisatawan. Saat ini sarana informasi untuk mempermudah pencarian lokasi wisata masih banyak yang menggunakan cara konvensional seperti brosur, pameran, atau majalah-majalah. Walaupun banyak juga yang sudah lumayan canggih seperti pencarian online, maupun pemanfaatan peta di websitenya, akan tetapi wisatawan masih sering mengalami kesulitan dalam hal menemukan tempat atau fasilitas yang tepat di kota tersebut.
