APPLICATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN TOURISM: 
INTERACTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM-GUIDE 
The thrust of modern man to travel has somewhat diminished in comparison 
with the past and especially the century before last. There are many reasons for this, 
not the last is the inertia of modern people, their dependence on the achievements of 
civilization, including, of course, computers. Meanwhile, the desire to learn new 
things is still alive. Therefore, the creation of all kinds of educational and cognitive 
computer programs is a very urgent task. 
The purpose of the work: to analyze a sufficient set of functions of an 
interactive guide program and to find possible methods for its implementation. 
An interactive system is proposed, the purpose of which is to replace virtual 
tours with virtual ones, giving the user the same amount of information as for a "live" 
excursion. [2] The application of such a system can be as follows: 
- Firstly, those wishing to go on excursions without leaving home can use such 
a system for their intended purpose, i.e. go through the tour, browsing photos and 
movies on the computer and listening to the explanations of the electronic guide; 
- Secondly, tourists can use such a system as an additional source of 
information, for example, with a real tour without a guide-man; 
- Thirdly, selective versions of the system can be used by travel companies as 
advertising tools when offering customers certain routes; 
- Fourthly, the system can be used as a training tool for the preparation of new 
guides and / or advanced training already experienced. 
All listed applications can be varied by the travel agency as needed. 
The scheme of the system is shown in Figure 1.

Thus, from the above, it is possible to derive the functions that an interactive 
system should perform and the requirements that it must satisfy: 
1) The system should have a convenient and understandable interface for 
providing the most comfortable user communication with the system. 
2) The system should be based on a database containing as much information 
as possible on the subject area. 
3) The system should be easily reconfigured in accordance with the functions 
performed. 
4) The system must be scalable. 
5) The system should contain data of complex structure, including clips, clips, 
photographs, and have multimedia capabilities. 
6) The system should be able to change the contents of the database used 
without additional effort. 
7) The system must be trainee, that is, it should be possible to replenish the 
stored data in accordance with new information about the objects. 
8) The system should provide the possibility of dialogue with the user. [1] 
The basis of the interactive system is the database. As a model of data 
representation we will use the relational model. The choice of this particular model is 
due to its traditionality, the presence in the model of the necessary means for 
connecting multimedia facilities and the ease of scaling. 
When creating a database, one of the most difficult tasks is collecting complete 
data about excursion routes. It is important to choose the right illustrative material 
and the accompanying text. The text of usual excursions is not always suitable for 
this. The information should be more complete, since the system is declared as 
interactive and the client can ask questions and expects to receive an answer. And if 
the guide-man can answer any question not provided by the text of the excursion, 
based on his knowledge and experience, then for the same effect with an electronic 
excursion, all the data about the visited object should be preliminarily entered into the 
database. At the same time, it is necessary to implement the training function of the 
system and make replenishments and changes to the database as soon as a need 
arises. 
The control program is designed to provide communication of disparate data 
and their presentation through the interface. Particular attention is paid to the problem 
of the correspondence of text, video and audio data. In addition, the control program 
should ensure the consistency of the text: in the database, information is stored in the 
nominative, while in the composition of the sentence it is necessary to conjugate the 
words.[3] 
The structure of the program is shown in Figure 2.
