Abstract

The integration of technologies within the Omani businesses during the pandemic was the key to business continuities as it allowed them to operate differently and smartly. The same is expected in the post pandemic era especially in the tourism industry where the government is pushing for growth. This paper seeks to provide a simplified and enjoyable experience for the visitors of Oman. This will include an online system for automatic tour planning for the visitors which will help the tourist to identify places of interest, view packages, and book tickets through their smart phones. By registering with that system, visitors will also get notification of tourism related events. The system would be helpful for both visitors and tourism companies in terms of reaching potential customers, saving time, and cost. The solution will be developed using mobile application, database, and web technologies.
