“…Computer systems that are capable of location-based queries provide important information to service providers and detailed information related to tourism attractions to consumers. A GIS is a computer-based system that provides spatial information in an appropriate form to the users of the system (Qiao et al 2009). In the literature, there are numerous definitions of GIS, which include the following:…”

Information technology currently plays an important role in many industries and has enabled the development of different sectors and economies. Geographic information system (GIS) is an information technology that triggers improvements in many countries, and this paper presents a method of using GIS in the retrieval of lodging properties. A Lodging Property Query System (LPQS) is a novel system proposed for use by travel agencies to perform spatial queries. The proposed system was tested on a sample dataset that contains lodging properties selected from five different regions located along the shoreline of Antalya, Turkey. The data layers were prepared with the MapInfo software package, and the spatial queries and graphical user interface were developed with the MapXtreme software development kit. This study aims to contribute to the development of the travel agencies by offering useful information that fits customer expectations and needs by means of spatial context.

“…A combinação destas tecnologias contribui para uma comunicação mais apelativa, realista e interativa dos conteúdos (Qiao et al, 2009;Sadoun e Al-Bayari, 2009). Na sua conceção estas plataformas podem ser gamificadas, ou seja, estruturadas de forma a incluir elementos característicos do design de jogos e videojogos, contribuindo para um maior envolvimento do utilizador, potenciando experiências mais gratificantes (Deterding, 2012;Goehle, 2013).…”

ResumoA importância da divulgação de informação turística em plataformas digitais é atualmente salientada por entidades públicas nacionais como o Turismo de Portugal ou o Turismo do Algarve. A incorporação de estratégias e mecanismos que estimulem um maior interesse e envolvimento dos utilizadores são suscetíveis de contribuir para uma mais eficaz divulgação dos destinos turísticos e do seu património histórico e cultural enquanto elementos de valorização. O presente trabalho apresenta os conceitos, estratégias e tecnologias adotados na conceção e implementação da plataforma WebSIG3D gamificada CulRoute. Através desta plataforma, o utilizador é convidado a visualizar e navegar modelos virtuais tridimensionais de monumentos e, num ambiente de jogo, explorar os 'tesouros' de cada monumento, testando os conhecimentos adquiridos respondendo a questionários opcionais. A partir da lista de monumentos visitados e de outras informações disponíveis na plataforma, o utilizador poderá criar roteiros personalizados, guardá-los em ficheiros ou imprimir para posterior uso como mapas.Palavras-chave: WebSIG 3D; gamificação; roteiros turísticos; realidade virtual; turismo. AbstractThe importance of tourist information disclosure on digital platforms is, nowadays, reinforced by public entities such as Turismo de Portugal and Turismo do Algarve. The incorporation of strategies to encourage greater interest and involvement of the users are likely to contribute to a more effective dissemination of tourist destinations and their historical and cultural heritage. This paper presents the concepts, strategies and technologies in the design and implementation of the gamified WebGIS3D platform named CulRoute. This platform enables the users to visualize and navigate the three-dimensional virtual models of monuments and to explore the 'treasures' of each monument in a gaming environment, as well as to test their knowledge by answering optional quizzes. From the list of visited monuments and other information available on the platform, the user can create customized routes, save them into files or print as maps for later use.
