E-Tourism Based on Geoinformation Applications for Seniors: Requirements and Design Guidelines

Abstract Innovative e-tourism tools could combine virtual reality, audio-visual data and physical travel to create a unique tourism experience for different groups of users. The aim of this study is to develop a geoinformation system supporting e-tourism for seniors. The proposals included a social geoinformation service (geoportal) and a mobile application. The solutions were tested in religious tourism destinations. The study included development of the technical requirements based on the map reading skills of the surveyed group. The recommendations presented in this article increase the knowledge about the practice and development of such geoinformation solutions.
