Keywords:GIS, Food Tourism, AR
In recent years, the objectives tourists have for visiting sightseeing areas are becoming more diverse all over the world. The form of tourism known as “food tourism” has become especially widespread. In addition, though some tourists wish to make tourism plans, others wish to visit tourist destinations without advance planning. Against such a backdrop, this study aimed to develop a system that integrates a tourism planning system, Web-GIS and augmented reality (AR) in order to support both planned and unplanned tourism especially for eating and drinking in urban tourist destinations. The system has original functions including the functions of food tourism plan creation, search for nearby sightseeing spots, and navigation adopting location-based AR. The function of food tourism plan creation allowed users to efficiently create food tourism plans. The function of navigation adopting location-based AR allowed users to visit restaurants and cafes in addition to nearby tourist spots included in food tourism plans they have created. Central Yokohama City in Kanagawa Prefecture was selected as the operation target area for the system.
