CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

I. Online tourism plays a vital and growing role in the travel sector. In fact,
online content is now a primary source of travel information, exceeding
all other forms of traditional media and marketing. Travel businesses
connect with consumers through online marketing, social media, travel apps,
search functionality, and booking platforms.

II. These diverse information sources and sales channels increasingly drive
the tourism sector. However, even though tourism demand is increasingly
shifting to an online environment, and culture is an important motivating
factor, a relatively low proportion.

III. Tourism has turned out to be an economic booster contributing to the

economic development of many countries over the last few decades.
People see holidays as a necessity, and not as luxury in the present scenario.
Tourism calls for coordination and cooperation between travel agents,
tour operators, and tourists.

IV. Tourism has a few major elements - destinations, attractions, sites,

accommodation, and all ancillary services. The need for a robust and
dynamic tour management application has been around since the advent
of the tourism concept. We have developed an application to provide the
best information to customers and travel agents. The Virtual Tourism
System provides assistance, information and cultural, historical and
contemporary heritage of that country.

20BCS5551 | Sanchita
 Travel & Tourism Website

V. This system also helps to promote responsible and interesting tourism so

that people can enjoy their holidays at their favourable places and
develop tourism with different cultures so that they enrich the tourism
experience and build pride. It is tedious for a customer to plan a particular
journey and have it executed properly. Virtual tourism is currently in the
top of the preferences of people. The internet allows marketing
practitioners and tourists to interact with each other in real time.
Destination marketing organizations nowadays attracts a lot of tourists.

VI. Tourists starts searching online information about the best tourist location
and hotels before planning their actual traveling schedules and most
importantly they can easily meet their requirements and their budget. The
internet has remained a predominant form of information collection for
leisure planning. The information communication technology devices like
laptops, tablets, iPads and smartphones has fuel the use of internet in
tourism planning, promotion and expanding it all across the globe.

VII. Due to the unprecedented growth of e-commerce in the service industry,

tourist destination information might be available on different e-
platforms, such as social media, search engines, websites and e-blogs.
These all has contributed a lot in the growth of tourism and hospitality
business in the world. The latest technologies and the internet have
enabled the tourists to quickly search, interact. Compare and decisions to
the purchase online tourism and hospitality deals and offers.

VIII. Tourist’s satisfaction with the tourist destination online content such as
the quality of online information on tourism deals and its accessibility on
internet may help to show the positive emotions and brand loyalty. Tourism

20BCS5551 | Sanchita
 Travel & Tourism Website

offerings and bonus deals promoted on different online platforms and

websites, may determine tourists behavioural intentions to visit the
destinations.

IX. All these marketing strategies are aimed to expand and promoting a
destinations online tourism and hospitality business. A destination
tourism promotion via technology corridors and devices like mobile,
tablets, computers etc. has been also analysed, some of the intentions
remain under explored. Tourism is considered as a product that cannot be
consumed before its experience.

X. Considering qualities of the tourism and the fact that internet has highly
influenced the consumers information search and purchase behaviour,
there is no need to explore that how tourists perceive to this, consumers
online behaviours are helpful for predicting and buying from virtual
markets, focusing on gathering the information of the user’s history.

CHAPTER-2

LITERATURE REVIEW

I. Telluride.com: Right from the start, a prominent image gallery does a lot
of the selling on the website for Telluride. By making the images so
large, the site makes sure the first thing you see is a beautiful landscape.
This is an example of a site that relies less on copy. Instead of a detail-
heavy approach, the design focuses more on the picturesque views and
various activities inaction.
Once a visitor is drawn in by the photos, they can opt to click on the main
call to action, “Plan Your Spring Trip” for more information. From there,
visitors can read about the various activities they can do in the city, then
purchase any necessary tickets, passes, or equipment rentals. This approach
works, because it combines attention-grabbing imagery with a clear call
to action. Many Internet users have short attention spans, so it’s important
to give them the opportunity to take action as soon as possible.

II. Visitbrazil.com: On the surface, you might think that arranging this site
would be a simple process. After all, how difficult could it be to persuade
visitors to check out beautiful beaches and hikes through the Amazon?
But considering that Brazil is a huge country, making up almost half of
the continent of South America, the site has a lot of information to cover.
It does this by dividing the various regions into different “Experiences.”

III. Wheelingcvb.com: This is the official tourism site for the city of
Wheeling, West Virginia. The site features a series of high-quality images
on its homepage that highlight the various activities available to visitors
within the city. From there, the page is divided into sections that cover

20BCS5551 | Sanchita
 Travel & Tourism Website

hotels, restaurants, recreation, and other activities. If this doesn’t sound like
a novel approach, that’s because it isn’t. But the site makes it easy for
visitors to see why they should visit the city, as well as access all of the
information they need to plan their trip.

2.1 Problem Definition:

i. The tourism industry faces a great challenge in the age of the information
technology development. The traditional tourism distribution channel
faces a threat of the emerging IT environment.

ii. Prior to the invention of the internet, the only option for travellers was to
sought out travel agents or book bus seating, car rental and hotel
accommodation through the operator.

iii. The most important problem is of manual system as it requires the

passenger to contact the company’s travel agent, go to their office and wait
for their turn just to get information about travel times and charges.

iv. The second biggest problem is that there is a risk of not getting the
transportation which was promised or it not being available at all. This
can cause a huge problem.

v. The third problem can be if a passenger decides to buy travel tickets and
arrange for the needed transportations at the spot every time they travel
and buses may not be available so it will be a total wastage of time.

2.2 Objectives:

i. The main vision is to create a dependable tourism website which would

save time that people spend in gathering the information about the places,
bookings and information about the hotels, resorts etc.

ii. Our main objective is to provide high standard of services suitable for
individuals seeking relaxing, comfortable and memorable experience in
the hospitality and tourism industry.

iii. To provide an easy-to-use platform to book tickets online without any

are going to visit and plan their destination accordingly.

v. We have also provided 24/7 customer service to our customers, so if in

case of urgency they can contact anytime without any hesitation.

vi. The website would provide detailed information about the journey and
every important notification would be notified to the customers.

vii. The website will provide each and every bit of information about the place
from hotels to flights available to the most fascinating places of that
particular location.

viii. The website would aid in the development of tourism along with that it
would help in enriching the culture and the beauty of that place.

CHAPTER-4
RESULT ANALYSIS AND VALIDATION

4.1 Modern Engineering Tools Used:

Software tools which are used are as follows:

1. HTML
2. CSS
3. JAVASCRIPT
4. PHP
5. MYSQL

Along with this we have used some others of software tools like XAMPP. We
have also used my PHP admin (local host) which will store the data in a proper
format. Programming Language is also used for the linking purpose of our HTML
file to the backend.

1. HTML
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the standard
markup language for creating Webpages. It describes the structure of a
Webpage. It consists of a series of elements. HTML constructs images
and other objects such as forms and are delineated by tags which means
written using angle brackets. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the
standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a
web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript.

2. CSS

20BCS5551 | Sanchita
 Travel & Tourism Website

It stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS describes how HTML elements
are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media. CSS saves a lot of
work. It can control the layout of multiple webpages all at once. External
Style Sheets are stored in CSS files. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)is
designed to enable the separation of the presentation and the content,
including layout, colours and fonts.

3. JAVASCRIPT
JavaScript is a text-based programming language used both on the client-
side and server-side that allows you to make webpages interactive. Where
HTML and CSS are languages that gives structure and style to webpages,
JavaScript gives webpages interactive elements that engage a user.

4. PHP
PHP is a general purpose scripting language especially suited to web
development. It was originally created by Danish- Canadian programmer
“Rasmus Lerdorf” in 1994. PHP originally stood for the Personal Home
Page but now it stands for the recursive initialism.

5. MYSQL
SQL is a standard language for accessing and manipulating databases. SQL
stands for Structured Query Language. SQL lets you access and manipulate
databases. SQL became a standard of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in 1987 SQL can execute queries against a database,
retrieve data, insert records in a database, update records, delete records,
create new databases, create new tables in a database, create stored
procedures in a database, create views in a database, set permissions on
tables, procedures, and views.

6. XAMPP
XAMPP is a free and open- source cross platform webserver solution stack
package developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the Apache
HTTP Server, MariaDB database and interpreters for the scripts written
in the PHP and Perl Programming languages.

CHAPTER – 5
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

5.1 Scope:
Tourism is currently recognized as a global industry which is growing at a high
rate like any other industry. Access to relevant and accurate information is at the
heart of tourism. Here, the proposed project on Tourism Management System
tries to bridge the gap by noting what a tourist perceives as relevant. Hence, the
aim of this project entails the design and implementation of a platform that will
assist tourists in gaining access to travel to various tourist locations.

in developing web enabled application and client server technology that will be
great demand in future. It is worth mentioning that this project work is open for
further enhancement, with the expectation that it becomes more robust and
better enhanced; covering every single tourist sites. For a modified system, the
user need to just login into the application and can find the routes, costs, hotels,
adventure sports, transportations and book immediately and complete the
booking process for a successful transaction. In the aspect of tourism, Internet
and web technologies have made more readily available information on tourist
locations, accommodations, transportation, shopping, food, festivals, and other
attractions, thus improving the whole tourism experience.
