Desarrollo de un Prototipo de Aplicación Móvil Turística con la Información del cantón Baños

Abstract

A mobile tourist application prototype, centered around the city of Baños, has been created for this project. The application is developed for the use solely on Android platforms and will allow the access of information about any of the tourist spots in Baños, from any location in the world. All of the information is classified into different categories and for every point of interest the user will be able to visualize the general information about the location or the chosen activity. The database includes a wide range of information such as description, telephone number, email, webpage, address and schedule for each tourist attraction. One of the application’s functions, provided to users, is the access to directions to the chosen spot of interest based on the user’s current location. Also included is the option to search for specific tourist spots as well as order search results according to price, from the least expensive to the most expensive and vice versa, alphabetically or the reverse allowing the user to find what they need quickly and easily.
