The Internet is the most efficient modern media providing the tourists with the information for organizing many traveling activities. It is time consuming and difficult work to organize transportation, accommodation, restaurants, adventures etc. for effective and memorable trip. Although there are many tourist sites containing a great amount of information, it is not easy to find proper and tailored information satisfying various tourists. In this study, a development process to build the web-based tour information system for Busan, Korea, and the final prototype was introduced. Current tour information websites and online maps were inspected first for the information, contents, services, and functions provided on the web sites. The user study was conducted by employing six participants to investigate the users' preferences and needs. Design principles and final contents were determined based on the user requirements analysis. A design prototype for the map-based interactive tourist information system was finally developed and suggested.
