Paper Abstract:
|
Tourism is an important source of income for many countries, including Cyprus, a small island in Mediterranean that largely depends on tourism for its financial growth. In order to offer better services to tourists, in regard to informing them about the various attractions of the island, we have developed a tourism guide mobile application, which can assist tourists during their stay at the country. By using modern Web techniques, we managed to develop a tourist guide application that is able to be installed on various mobile platforms, such as Android and iOS, looking very similar to native applications. This practice constitutes a novel technique in mobile development. |
