Abstract
The tourism industry is a fast growing sector in today's world that has penetrated itself in digital domain. Tourists are unable to fetch necessary information that could be required at the time of emergency due to absence or inappropriate mobile network connectivity. Moreover, tourists are often lost and many casualties are recorded because they could not be tracked and help could not reach them in time. The proposed project works aim to provide an economically viable, sustainable and a user-friendly solution to these problems. This project work aims at developing a module along with an app for tourists which would provide them all the required information about nearby places, directions to reach them along with the emergency contact numbers. The information is provided by the kiosk being installed at different places via BLE Technology. App VOYAGER is an user-friendly interface between user and kiosk that enables tracking of tourists thus saving many lives.
