The Development of an Information System for Tourists Using the Android Platform (I)

Abstract

The interest for mobile applications has grown increasingly in the recent years and this thanks to the easiness with which their users can be informed in a very short time. The mobile application to inform tourists is used on the smart mobile terminals presenting the sights of a city, providing information about each point of interest and information on how the user can reach it. This paper presents a software system that is addressed, primarily, to tourists coming to visit the city of Braşov, but it can be used equally well by the inhabitants of Brasov who have not yet discovered all the attractions of the city.
