Five information technology experts were asked to assess the system effectiveness, while the system users' satisfaction was measured by 400 tourists and general public. Findings: This developed GIS effectiveness was found to attain the excellent level ( = 4.57, S.D. = 0.186), and the system users' satisfaction reached the highest levelat = 4.51, S. D. = 0.318. This study promoted the southern tourism providing such interesting tourism information to visitors as touristic spots and their routes, and traditional and cultural diversity valuable for preservation using this GIS.Applications of the study: Results of the study can be used to revitalize tourism in the three southern border provinces for higher income generation and better living of the communities in the areas. |
