基于WebGIS的旅游信息系统的结构模式

A Structure Design for WebGIS-based Tourism Information System

近年来我国旅游业的迅猛发展突显了旅游管理中存在的一系列问题。信息流作为客流等其他旅游流产生的先决条件,对它的引导与管理显然是解决这些问题的关键。数字地球战略的提出与实施为这些问题的解决提供了一个途径。全球信息高速公路构成了沟通全球信息流的总体框架,要建立与此相对应的现实世界旅游业的客流、物流、能量流和资金流的时空联系模型,必须借助于WEBGIS技术。本文首先总结了传统的旅游信息系统的结构模式,然后分析了旅游信息的特性对系统平台的要求及全球化旅游业对旅游信息管理的要求,在此基础上,从我国旅游业的现状出发提出了一个基于WEBGIS的旅游信息系统(TIS)的结构模式。

Travel activity is a typical process in which the flows of the tourists, the material and the capital are induced by the flow of tourism information. The essence of the Tourism Information System (TIS) lies in the inducing and controlling of the other flows by tourism information flow. The Internet constructs a universal framework linking up the global information flow. To simulate the interactive mode between the above flows of the tourism industry, the best platform is Internet and Geographical Information System (GIS). The characters of the tourism information and their corresponding requirements to the system platform were listed (Tab.1). In the paper, the traditional TIS is divided into four subsystems as Hotel Information System, Travel Agency Information System, Destination Information System and Computer Reservation System, and each of the subsystem’s frame mode is summed up. The most critical defect of the present TIS is that its information flow is split. TIS must be focused on the management of information flow and its structure should be designed to ensure extensive and steady flow of the tourism information. To provide decision support to the user, the interactive mechanism between the factors in the tourism flow system must be worked out and the specific spatial analysis function and multimedia geographical information expressing function of WEBGIS should be recurred to. Combining the above analysis with the present status of our country’s tourism industry in the background of globalization, the paper developed an integrated framework of TIS based on WEBGIS (Fig.2).
