iPod as a Visitor's Personal Guide

Abstract

With the increasing use of digital media together with the handheld devices, this iPod application will eliminate the need for human guides and will provide an entertaining experience to visitors. It will be very useful for landmark tourist destinations such as aquariums and museums, and there will be a huge demand with the increasing flow of tourists in Australia, which according to Tourism Australia (2005) was an increase of 5.4% from 2004 to 2005, with tourists numbering 5.5 million in the latter year.
