The halal tourism industry is rapidly developing and has become a current trend. It is a subcategory of tourism geared towards offering services that comply with Islamic principles for tourists. Indonesia has excellent potential for the development of this tourism industry because it is majorly populated with Muslims. For the first time, the country and Malaysia were ranked the world’s best halal tourist destinations in 2019. One of the oldest halal destinations in Indonesia is the Thousand Big Houses Area, in Koto Baru village, West Sumatra. However, due to limited information and technology, this area is less visited by tourists despite being hundreds of years old with the Minangkabau traditional building, which acts as a tourist attraction. Therefore, one of the solutions to help introduce this house to the world is developing an Internet Geographic Information System (GIS) for the village. This research aims to develop this application using the waterfall software development method. The application was programmed using PHP and Javascript, while its user interface was developed using the CSS Bootstrap framework. The results showed that the output was in accordance with the expectations that the app can be used to promote the village.
