Enabling Tourists to Visualize Regional Attractions Using Custom Esri ArcGIS ( Małopolska, Poland)

Overview

To establish a web-based mapping portal for the mountain tourism industry that enables portal users to plan and visualize routes based on the type of trip they desire and degree of difficulty (ex: hiking, skiing, equestrian).

The Impact

Visitors and end-users of the web mapping portal can visualize available tourist routes and recreation areas. Users can conduct spatial analysis of the terrain profile using the planned routes and identify distances, shortest paths, and tourist attractions.

The Outcome

The mapping portal was established based on requirements to provide portal users with the ability to:

• Browse & search data on hiking trails and tourist attractions
• Perform spatial analysis on terrain profiles
• Calculate distances between points
• Search for the shortest / fastest routes
• Add user comments and input
