Development of Tourism Objects and Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Based on Geographic Information System (GIS) in Tanggetada District

Abstract

Tourism is a sector that is being seriously worked on by every region in Indonesia to boost the national economy. In addition to increasing regional income, it can also increase the economic growth of the people who are around these tourist objects, especially Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Tanggetada District is one of the areas that has started to pioneer the development of the tourism sector, as seen from several tourist sites that have started to improve by adding various attractive attributes to serve as photo spots and can be posted on social media. However, the lack of widespread information dissemination has made this tourist attraction in Tanggetada District only known to a limited number of people. The utilization of social media and Google, which are considered information search media, seems to be underused. It can be seen that when typing in the keyword Tanggetada tourist attraction, only a few tourist attraction areas are visible. Therefore, we need a geographic information system that utilizes the Google Maps API as a feature that can detect the location points of tourist attractions and MSMEs that are closest to tourism. With this system, it is hoped that it can increase visitors to each tourist attraction in Tanggetada District and in line with the increase in visitors it can also help improve the economy of the surrounding community. This geographic information system was designed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method which has features in the form of information on the location of tourist objects and MSMEs around Tanggetada District.
