Existing search engines are not able to provide a customized solution for the visitors or tourists who wish to know the information related to transport facility, places of visit in a city, items for purchase, lodging and restaurant details, etc. in a city. Hence, an intelligent transport and tourism information system is essential for facilitating the tourists or visitors. This system should be able to provide information such as lodging facilities available in a city, items to be purchased in a city in an efficient manner. In this paper, we have made efforts to propose the architecture for transport and tourism information system and also we have developed a prototype system named as Intelligent Transport and Tourism System (ITTS) in Hadoop environment.

The tourism industry has witnessed the use and application of various computer-based systems in carrying out one or more activities or operation. But currently there is no computer-based system tourist destination to integrate the tourists (from outside Nigeria) and tourists center within Nigeria, so that tourists can make a pre destination plan and decision before venturing into tourism journey to the country Nigeria. The authors of this paper proposed the design of web-based Expert Decision System (WEDSS), to provide tourist to Nigeria and its environ essential data and tools to managing their tours and to base all the decisions concerning to queries on the, tourist centers and hotels based on the following issue; climate, road conditions, cultural aspects, lodging, health facilities, banking, etc. of the location to be visited on sound and rational bases. Web-Based Tourist Decision Support System (WEDSS) for Nigeria will be developed to allow the tourist to find their route in Nigeria and ask for information about sights, accommodations and other places of interest which are nearby to him to improve the convenience, safety, efficiency of travel and enhance tourism attraction of tourists.

A web based tourism information system may provide on-line brochures along with both value and services. Tourists generally want to find objects of tourism and amenities with reference to their geographic position and surroundings. In many cases, it is not satisfying to find a good hotel without a reference to restaurants, sights or event locations located nearby. This case study on web-based tourism information system using GIS for Chandigarh city takes into account the user needs to present the tourism objects in geographic context on interactive tourist maps. This city is rapidly becoming a hot spot for tourists from around the world because of its exotic locations and hospitality facilities. In recent years, it is developing into a world class IT destination as well. Therefore, city's tourism sector may be promoted by global marketing of its tourist attractions, facilities and services.

Thus, this study considers web-based GIS application towards promoting tourism and providing an innovative way to the users to access spatial orientation of the city. GIS content forms the core component of this application as it provides the world wide users with spatial information about the place that is very close to reality. This should further be useful for supporting and planning for tourism through analysis, decision making and management using GIS technique, and making it available online on the internet.

In most cases, it is not satisfying to find a nice hotel without a reference to restaurants, sights or event locations located nearby. The study presented in this paper starts from the user needs, to present the tourism object in geographic context on interactive tourist maps supports planning for tourism, focusing on the analysis, decisions making and management using GIS technique and presenting the results on the internet.
