Management and manipulation of data
GIS Software The ESRI GIS software Arc GIS 9.3 is used for these analyses.
Data utilized for the study The base map used for the study is the map published by the
Department of Architecture andRegional Planning, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and West Bengal in their study onPerspective plan for BCUC Vision 2030.
The map was georeferenced with the help of points from the Google Earth.

Application Of Visual Basic
Selection of tools and components to be used in visual Basic
Fixing the forms pattern and designing of the forms
Writing codes and use the properties options on the component of Visual Basic
Implementation of the system and conversion to executable file(.exe) and transfer of the information system as package
Integration of Visual Basic and Arc Map through DDE Technology
Hyperlinking
Development of Application Product through Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) technology
Web browser tool
Building Information as a package
Hyperlinking
Identify the location in which the hyperlink has to be set using the identify tool in Arc Map
Right click the attribute table of the selected location and add the hyperlink
Publish the map with the help of publisher extension in ArcMap .(The file will be then saved in .pmf format)
Open the saved .pmf file in ArcReader and click on the location that is hyperlinked
The user will be directed to the information system developed in Visual Basic 6.0
Development of Application Product through Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) technology
Ability to generate thematic base maps
Ability to browse and make selections
Ability to display of the selected Tourist spot details.
Ability to update the database files.

Conclusion
As tourism management and development become large in scope, and are becoming international Popular.
GIS application has made the study much more simplified and produces results in an attractive manner.
Tourism has changed a lot since the early days and so have the reasons changed for travelling
