Travel App is a tourism-based application that aims to help travelers in providing easy access information on tourism destinations. It shows nearby tourism sites via Google Maps interface within the application and calculates the nearest tourism site with the help of Haversine formula. It calculates the distance between longitude and latitude of places in a sphere. Tourism data used are gathered directly from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Not every traveler knows which places to visit or which nearest tourism site they could reach within certain distance and time. This application is able to provide essential travelling information, such as the location of tourist places, their opening and closing hours, address, and photos. Through this app, travelers could explore tourism destinations without being worried not knowing where they could make a stop in their itinerary. Travel App has been tested in the Yogyakarta area and has been shown to deliver its intended functional purposes.
