With the rapid development of economy, tourism has been
emerging gradually in china, which can provide food,
housing, transportation, travel, purchase, range of services
and other entertainment for tourists. Services provided by
the tourism industry are built on a variety of tourist
information collection, arrangement and transmission.
Economic benefits and social benefits of tourism will be
greatly improved, if we introduce the modern advanced
technology, means and methods in planning and
management travel information. The tourism information
system is based on database system, covering the major
elements of the tourism industry, including many
sub-systems in early time. At present, there are many
successful examples in European countries, such as the
well-known Austria Tyrol information system, Switzerland
Rhodes information system and etc [1]. But, at present, a
number of traveling information system is mainly for
tourists which just includes information query, retrieval [2],
therefore, the function is too narrow. In order to enhance
the application level of GIS technology in the tourism field,
promote the development of tourism and provide support in
decision making for the government, we must do the
further research. So, we decide to apply component GIS
technology and develop tourism planning and management
information system
