INTRODUCTION
Situation Analysis
Tourism plays a big part in industry. It brings the area income and also the
different residents on the location a source of living. With the presence of tourism as
an industry into a municipality, tourist, brings in money which would help boost the
economy.
Tourism geography is about different human and physical characteristics that
conduct groups of people to move to a specific place “tourism destination”.
(Gulomkhasanov Erkin, & Hamrokulova Shakhrizoda 2022). Various alternative
tourism potentials that can be experienced in different experiences and seasons are of
great importance. At the same time, by increasing the number of days of stay, tourists
should be able to spend more time in the region. In parallel with this tourist who spend
money will create an important demand for employment and marketing local products
for the local people economically. (Unal et al., 2022).
The challenge for tourism organizations is to find ways to think ahead to this
reconfiguration phase and anticipate the changes that might be required to respond to
possible transformations in their markets, processes and systems. The existing
literature on ICT and tourism has tended to focus on the adoption, use, and evaluation
of specific technologies, generally arguing for greater use of technology in tourism,
usually with a substitution or enlargement claim.(Hughes & Moscardo, 2019).

2
Tourism is one of the world's fastest growing industries as well as the major
source of foreign exchange earnings and employment for many developing countries.
(Park & Erdenebat, 2022).
Tourism is an economic industry with low costs and high benefits. Despite the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global tourism industry, countries are still
actively developing domestic tourism markets and resources as the economy recovers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed tremendous impacts on the tourism industry
worldwide. (J Lu et al., 2022) .
Business activities within the tourism industry are especially suffering from the
consequences of the COVID19 pandemic. Those countries whose economy depends
largely on tourism will experience a troublesome situation for years to come. Their
return to a normal situation will be conditioned by the competitiveness of their tourism
sector. (JAS Fernández, JMG Martínez, JMM Martín 2022)
Tourism is important for the success economy. But, the Covid-19 pandemic
really affects tourism industry, it has a loss on income due to Covid-19 pandemic.
There are a lot of protocols that being followed and mandated which were going to
observe the physical distancing, proper documentation of the visitors and the tourists.
Because of pandemic there are a lot of process in record keeping.
Tourism industry around the world has often faced many crises since 2000s; for
example, SARs, economic recessions, terrorism, natural disasters, and most recently
the coronavirus pandemic (hereafter; COVID-19). Each crisis causes dramatic damage
to the economy, society, environment, and lives. (Naramski et al., 2022)

3
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the way tourism
activities are conducted. Restrictions on moving from place to place have likely limited
the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus but have also led to economic crisis in many
countries around the world. (Naramski et al., 2022).
The COVID-19 pandemic has been disastrous in terms of the loss of human
life, the physical and mental strains placed on large numbers of populations across the
globe who have been quarantined in their homes and in terms of the costs of dealing
with the pandemic and supporting business and citizens through the period. Tourism
has been comprehensively damaged, not only in advanced economies, but also in
poorer developing economies where tourism provides a vital source of income and
employment. The problem has been complicated by the shattering effect on mass
tourism, which has been far more sensitive to the shutdown of travel and
accommodation than ethical and responsible tourism activities focused at a local
sustainable level. (Koščak & O’Rourke, 2021).
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, it has a big impact to tourism specially in San
Gabriel, La Union. Not just in San Gabriel but also in many areas. Other municipality
closed their tourist spot for the mean time to follow protocols from pandemic.
There are many tourists’ spot in San Gabriel. Tangadan falls is one of the most
visited tourist spots there. The Municipality of San Gabriel provides assistance for the
registration. The tourists need to register manually. The researchers observed that it is
time consuming when they do register manually by filling-up form. The manual
registration in Municipality of San Gabriel takes time to manage data, slow process of
4
registration, difficulty of searching and retrieving records and it’s hard to keep tracking
the information manually.
To help the municipality or administration resolve that conflict or problem, the
researchers developed the tourism management system that allows tourist directly
register online. This system would help the tourism officers to lessen cost and time.
Not just to help the tourism manager, it helps also the tourist to lessen their time in
registering manually. It helps them also in saving time and money since it allows them
to register anytime, they want to visit San Gabriel, La Union tourist spot. Tourism
management system in San Gabriel La Union is now online and computer based. It is
better than registering manually.
Tourism Management System is an integrated software developed for tourism
business. It is a responsive and dynamic system that addresses the challenges of
managing the records, missing records due to the errors of human. The purpose of
building a system that performs all operations related to booking, traveling,
sightseeing. This system connects customers/user and admin directly, provides and
gives a feedback mechanism for tourists, controls and maintain the database of tourists’
information, and gives a variety of travel services.
The following concepts, theories, studies and current events that shows
different solutions to the problems mentioned above and carefully examined and
evaluated for the concrete foundation of the study’s concept:
To solve the identified problems in responding to the registration of the tourist
in Municipality of San Gabriel, the researchers proposed a system that allows the
tourists to register online. The system also allows users to submit documentary
requirements
5
online; then’ they will be notified thru email if the registration is approved and
disapproved. This is called Tourism Management System for San Gabriel, La Union.
The research paradigm of this study is shown in figure 1.
The above-mentioned research studies provided concrete ideas for this study.
The research paradigm of this study is shown in Figure 1, As shown in figure 1, on
page 4), the study uses the I-P-O (Input-Process-Output) format. The input box
includes: 1) Tourist’s profile such as name, age, sex and type of respondents; 2) Data
Requirements such as Tourist Registration and Registration Documentary. The process
box includes: 1 Data Analysis; 2) Document Analysis; 3) Determined the socio-
economic profile of the respondents; 4) System Development with the use of Agile
Model; 5) Assessment of the vulnerability of the developed system; 6) Determine the
significant difference of the responses according to age and type of respondents or
tourists. The output box contains the developed Tourist Management System for San
Gabriel La Union. The broken lines denote the feedback that caters any suggestions for
the improvement of the study.

Vulnerability of the developed System
The vulnerability test result was presented in table 4. As perceived in the table,
the developed system only possesses (1) high risk it means these vulnerabilities post
high risk to data security. seven (7) medium it means these vulnerabilities pose
minimal risk to data security, six (6) low risk level means this category represents
vulnerabilities that are cautionary or informational in nature, and six (6) informational
which means that it was able to withstand security attacks.

36
This is a process of evaluating security risks in software systems to reduce the
probability of risk and threats. The importance of vulnerability testing and its purpose
is for reducing the possibility for intruders/hackers to get unauthorized access of
systems as stated by Varela-Vaca (2023)
It is necessary for an organization to maintain software security in order to
ensure integrity, authenticity and availability of the software product. To ensure
software security, one of the major tasks is to identify vulnerabilities present in the
source code before the software is being deployed as stated by Prof. Arvinder Kaur and
Ruchikaa Nayyar (2020).

The Relationship of socio-economic profile and the perception on the acceptability
of the developed system
This section discusses the relationship of two (2) variables: 1) Socio-economic
status of respondents and 2) Responses on the acceptability of the developed system.
Table 12 shows the relationship of the two variables as to performance efficiency. It can
be gleaned in the table that the values of yielded r2, if converted to percentage, 69.5%
(0.0695), 0% (0.0000) and 22.63% (00.2263) respectively. The computed values showed
the different socio-economic variables almost did not affect the perception towards the
acceptability of the developed system along with performance efficiency. Regardless
of the type of
45
respondents, sex, age and salary, the respondents viewed that system as efficient based
on its performance.

Table 13 shows the relationship of the two variables as to usability. It is notable
in the table that the variables showed divided result. Variables sex and age group shows
no significant relationship on the perception towards the acceptability of the developed
system with the computed r2 values of 0.0649 (64.9%), 0.0086 (8.6%) respectively. On
the other hand, variables type of respondents and salary shows a significant relationship
on the perception towards the acceptability of the developed system with the computed
r2 values of 0.0043 (4.3%), 0.0176 (17.6%) respectively. The possible reason beyond this
result can be that respondents with higher salary is exposed to different web applications
related to reservation that can affect their perception toward the developed system. On
the other hand, an IT experts can be more demanding when it comes to the usability of
the
46
system since they are more familiar to the technical aspects of systems compare to other
type of respondents.
