Abstract: Background/Objectives: As information technology plays an important role in the tourism industry, the tourism industry has always been integrated with information technology. This trend has been accelerated as the size of information increases due to the appearance of the internet. In this situation, smart tour systems have been constructed based on the internet and smartphones. Methods/Statistical analysis:It may be difficult to find a route using only general maps because of the complexity of the route when touring a new area. If you carry the local currency separately, you may run out of money or have difficulty managing the change. It can solve the inconvenient part of the tour by using smart phone. Findings:The application gives directions based on road view because it is difficult to find paths using general maps. In addition, it is possible to leave a record that a tourist site has been visited through the NFC tag placed on the site just like taking a stamp. This record can always be confirmed through the application at any time. The application also provides a function for viewing a collection of photographs taken at a tourist site. It provides the Uijeongbu cyber money function that helps convenient payments at tourist sites or traditional markets. The cyber money can be set to be manually or automatically charged. When payments are made in cash at stores, it is possible to receive the change in the cyber money. Improvements/Applications: As directions are given based on road view, tourists can easily find paths even when they visit a new tourist site. The application promotes the interest of tourists by providing the NFC stamp or tourist site photograph viewing function. In addition, it provides the Uijeongbu cyber money payment function to allow easy payments at tourist sites, making purchases easy and providing the convenience of paying no attention to the change. The purchase details can be seen on the application at any time. Orders can be placed on the application and received via couriers without visiting the tourist sites again.
