Besides TPNP, West Kotawaringin Regency also has some cultural attractions since this regency has a kingdom named The Sultanate of Kutaringin. This regency also has another tourism attractions such as beach attractions, river cruise, souvenir shopping, and local culinary attractions. Although this regency has various tourist attractions, Kotawaringin Barat Regency has not conducted a good tourism governance. At the moment, many tourists just focused only in visiting TPNP. This happened because of their lacking information about the other tourist attractions that this regency serves. Because of this problem, this study is aimed to create a GIS tourism application that is able to provide information to all potential tourists about various attractions that the the regency has. It is hoped that this application will make the tourist visits in the West Kotawaringin area will become more evenly distributed to make West Kotawaringin a Smart Tourism City which will lead to economic equality for the community and tourism activists.]]>
