ABSTRACT
This thesis is divided into two parts; there are Project I and Project II. Project
I is carried out in Special Semester (8 weeks), while Project II is carried in Semester

Support concept for Penang Tourism Department. The study aims to bring about the
changes, development and better improvement to the current Penang tourism

modify content in web page using editor and approve tourism service provider which
is fulfil requirement. Based on a use-case driven object-oriented system development
methodology, a prototype of Penang Tourism Information System is built. The

to the user based on the characteristic of Decision Support System in which it enable
the potential tourist to adjust and access the information according to their own
individual needs and can generate a customize trip plan based on the selected
destination, budget, departure location and travel priority. The system is developed

server, Active Server Page (ASP) scripting language and Microsoft Access as
database.
