Abstract:

Tourism in Nepal stands as a cornerstone of its economy, attracting visitors from around the globe with its diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unparalleled adventure opportunities. However, amidst the rapid advancement of technology, the tourism sector faces the challenge of adapting to changing traveler expectations and preferences. Web-based information systems have emerged as a vital tool in this endeavor, reshaping the way tourists seek and experience destinations. Despite this, existing systems often fall short of meeting the unique needs of travelers in Nepal. This thesis endeavors to bridge this gap by proposing a user-centered web-based information system tailored specifically to the needs of tourists in Nepal. Through a multifaceted approach encompassing comprehensive literature review, meticulous user surveys, UML prototyping, and rigorous statistical analysis, the research aims to elevate the overall tourist experience, foster sustainable tourism practices, and bolster Nepal's position as a premier travel destination on the global stage. ANOVA, Regression, and Descriptive analysis are statistical techniques that are used to find important factors that contribute to the information system's effectiveness. The findings from this study shed light on the significant improvements in user satisfaction achieved through the proposed UI designs, underscoring the transformative potential of technology in Nepal's tourism industry. The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on how essential a web-based information system is to meeting the needs of visitors to Nepal. The knowledge gained from this research can direct the creation and application of efficient plans for using technology to improve visitors' overall experience and engagement, which will support the long-term expansion of Nepal's tourism industry.
