With the tremendous growth of the Web, a broad spectrum of tourism information is already distributed over various Web sites. To fulfill the tourists request for an extensive data collection it is inevitable to make accumulated data from different sources accessible. Beside this problem, tourists are also confronted with differences regarding information presented on various Web sites. The solution of these problems is using maps to present information in an effective way. Maps are a natural means of indexing and presenting tourism related information. Travelers are using maps to navigate during their travels and for preparing their routes. Moreover, maps exploit the two dimensional capabilities of human vision and present the information in a compact and “easy to read” way.
