Abstract

Mt. Longhushan, a scenic spot located in Jiangxi Province, China, is famous for its beautiful and characteristic Danxia landform, long-history Taoism and mysterious cliff tomb. In recent years, the tourism resources, especially geological landscape have been developed greatly and tourists increases unprecedentedly. However, the tourism management in Mt. Longhushan still lags behind the development of the new technology, such as management combining with Geographic Information System (GIS). In this study, the application of GIS to the tour management and development is discussed and a tour geographic information system (TGIS) is developed based on MAPGIS. TGIS is a modern management method in tourism geographic information for comprehensive collection, dynamical analysis and application.
