ABSTRACT
This project is based on multimedia GIS of tourism sites in Cross River State. Tourism in Cross River State is geared towards the diversification of the state based industry as well as providing an alternative means of improving the state internally generated revenue. The objective of the research is to map the tourism sites and develop a multimedia GIS Database for Cross River State. To achieve the objectives of this research, Hand held GPS was used to locate tourism sites and for update of digital maps of Cross River State. Cartographic digitization was employed to produce the tourism map of the state. A relational GIS database was created using Arc Map 10.1. Ulead Video DV X2 with a Fire wire 1394 adapter was used in downloading video clips recorded by the Digital Video Camera into Personal Computer (PC). Ulead Video Studio Pro X2 which has the capability of converting recorded sound to wave files which are later converted into AVI files and also of converting scanned images and photographs into Video Clips was also used. Microsoft Window Media Player played the Video Clips. Finally, spatial search and multimedia queries were carried out to test the database. This research has been able to demonstrate the dynamic capacities of Geographic information system application in mapping, analysis and modeling of Geographic phenomenon. This is to aid tourism planning authorities, tourists, and government agencies to visualize, plan,
monitor, manage and access various tourist sites in Cross River State. This database should be updated from time to time in other to capture new developing areas with the facilities that are present.
