Abstract

This study explores the experience of implementing digital maps through utilizing Google Maps and Geodatabase Technologies to create for the first time an Interactive Digital Tourist Map for one of Egypt's interesting destinations, Matrouh Governorate. This digital map, as expected, will give more visitors the ability to explore deeply the area and make their visit more enjoyable. Data was collected through official documents and reports about the area of study, then it was digitized using mapping technology. The results are presented through a main digital map that illustrates the natural and cultural attractions as well as other tourism sites and services across the Governorate as an initiative from the researchers to promote tourism in Matrouh within national and global scale.
