Abstract
This paper presents a tourism e-guide system via mobile integration using offloading while enjoying mobility. A user can search for new mobile services available on the website to use either remotely on the server where the services resides, or locally after downloading them to his/her mobile device and work offline without a mobile connection. Jordan Tourism e-Guide System (JTeGS) aims to help the user/tourist accessing the tourism information directly from his/her smart device, anytime and anywhere using offloading. JTeGS is a web-based electronic guide that provides the user with appropriate tourism information about Jordan and guides him/her to find the best places to party, eat out, and enjoy culture events. The system architecture and the main components of the proposed services were presented and discussed. The system has been prototyped and validated in a real-time mobile internet application scenario. The system also has been evaluated through simulations in mobile network environment. Both experimental and simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system.
Highlights
The last decade witnessed a revolution in information and communication technology, which changed the daily behavior of the people and affected their way of interaction with each other
The major attributes are ubiquity which means being available anytime anywhere, convenience where it is very convenient for users to operate in the wireless computing environment, interactivity where services are immediate and highly interactive, personalization where services designed to meet the needs of an individual consumer as mobile devices are truly owned and operated by a single individual, and localization where knowing the place a user is physically in at any particular moment is key to offering relevant services that suit the user at the moment
Because of the limited space, we show only the figures related to the Ask for Tourism Services option as a sample
Summary
The last decade witnessed a revolution in information and communication technology, which changed the daily behavior of the people and affected their way of interaction with each other. Even governments started utilizing the internet for delivering requested governmental information and services to citizens using a wide range of information and communication technologies. Many of these services are becoming mobile-based, where the user can request and get information and services via smart mobile devices [1, 2]. This paper presents the design and implementation of a prototype web-based electronic guide system for tourism with mobile technology integration. The system offers a wide range of services and information about the tourism sector in Jordan that can be accessed by a smart device at any time and from any place.
