Digitalized Booking for Hundred Islands: A Developmental Approach Towards Industrial Advancement of Alaminos City Tourism

Hundred Islands, the drive of Alaminos City towards its economic progress particularly in the Industry of Tourism, is a tourist destination that offers various island experiences and activities therein. Boat booking for a trip to the Islands is managed by the tourism office through a manual process, leading to operational delays and inefficiencies. This study presents a system architecture for an Online Boat Booking System for the Hundred Islands, addressing inefficiencies in the current manual reservation process. Literature Reviews were used to support the development of the Online Boat Booking System and to guide the researchers in developing the system architecture. Moreover, interviews, observations and documents analysis were employed to aid the researchers in understanding the business nature and its process. The study’s implications suggest that adopting an online boat booking system will not only provide tourists with a seamless process of booking but will also elevate the tourism industry of the Alaminos City as it brings the Hundred Islands to a wider customer base, being of help in the promotion of Alaminos City tourism. As Alaminos City’s industry continues to grow, the creation of a digital platform reaching a broader customer base becomes increasingly vital for ensuring the long-term sustainability of the tourism sector.
