Keywords

Abstract

The role of GIS in tourism development has been known as an effective tool. Its ability to group the spatial data based on certain criteria is very helpful for decision making in the tourism sector. In this study, GIS is used to analyze the readiness of the region in developing its tourism sector. Four tourism components are used as readiness indicators, namely accessibility, amenities, ancillary services, and attractions. The research method used in this study is the mixed method (Qualitative and Quantitative) where qualitative method is the main method and method of mapping geographic information systems with mapinfo. The sample used is three sub-districts in Purwakarta Regency, those are the districts with a high tourism development in Indonesia. The results of this study are divided into three classes of readiness, namely high, medium and low. In this analysis, it can be concluded that tourist attractions are the main components that determine the level of regional readiness for tourism (0.13). The use of GIS in determining the final category of regional readiness is also very effective because it is able to map spatial data in detail, based on its weight and score. It is expected that the use of GIS could act as a recommendation for planning and creating the strategy in the field of the planning of tourism destination in many regions
