It is a platform for tourism associations to exchange data/ information/ knowledge. The decision makers or travelers have to face and take attention with a lot of criteria; such as cost, place type, time taken, transportation type and star rate while choosing the best successful trip in their vacations. Tourism in Myanmar is a slowly developing sector. Although Myanmar possesses great tourist potential and attractions in many fields, much of the industry remains to be developed. The first step of this research is developing the tourism management system and then selection of trip based on decision support framework for desire state or country by using AHP method(case study is Kayah State in Myanmar). The objective of this research is to test the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) applicability with the process for decision making in the selection of trip program. AHP helps to figure out the best outcome which features that the travelers need and how to select the successful trip that really want.
