Therefore we need promotional media that can provide complete, clear, interesting and easy-to-implement information in the form of designing this user interface so that it is expected to increase the number of visitors, visitors who want to be secretary are not confused with the existing tourist information. And if many tourists / visitors who come to Merangin Regency indirectly increase regional income, the economy of the surrounding community is elevated, such as the owner of transportation, hotel, lodging and merchant services.
