Abstract

With the overall purpose of developing an application that helps visitors (including who goes on holiday and who travels due to business) manage their trips efficiently, this study researched on visitors’ behaviors and the problems they usually face during their trips. The existing travel applications on the market have also been analyzed to identify their strength and weakness. From data of those researches, an initial requirements specification was built and completed throughout the project. By using modern Android APIs, Facebook APIs and Google Services (Google Map version 2), MGO was built as multi-functional application that run on Android OS Devices (from version 4.0 to version 5.0.2).
