Tourism is a relaxation place for people and people can plan their tourist places based on Information. GIS -based information is gaining greater importance among tourists as it allows to familiarize with places, have profound appeal for the trip planning. Srinagar city is famous tourist destination of India, visited by huge number of tourists from different parts of the world annually. The number of tourists visited the city in 1990 was 10623 which increased to 112012 in 2000 and in year 2013 more than 13 lakh, the number can be dramatically increased, given the nature of tourism potential of the city. But in the absence of Tourist Information System, tourists face various difficulties in locating various tourist related products. The Geospatial technology has transformed every sphere of life and tourism industry cannot be exception. The purpose of the present study is to develop an interactive and user-friendly Geographic Information System (GIS) enabled data base for various amenities viz. hotels, guest houses, house boats, road networks, airport, railway station, parks, shrines, play grounds, golf course, water bodies etc. in ESRI’s ArcGIS 10.1 software which could be easily uploaded on web to disseminate proper information to world over. Toposheets, maps satellite images, GPS and field surveys were used to generate the above mentioned data layers and then multimedia data like video clips, audio narrations and photographs were integrated with each feature to make comprehensive tourist information system. A major strength of this paper is that TIS is one time investment and can be updated as and when needed. It provides tools to display raw data in the form of 3D maps, SQL, understand Patterns, relationships and trends and overlay those databases in highly interactive ways which is not possible with traditional spreadsheets. The present study actively demonstrated the potential of geospatial technology application to explore destination and its facilities like hospitals, ATM Centers, hotels, restaurants, resorts and filling stations etc. and developmental planning, project monitoring and publicity of tourist products. The present study can be indispensable for other allied departments’ viz police, planning, public administration, disaster management, transportation, health etc.
