Web-Based Tourism Management System Using PHP and MySQL

Tourism is one of the world’s fastest-growing industries, requiring efficient systems to manage tour packages, customer bookings, and travel information. Manual processes often result in delays, data inconsistency, and scalability issues. This paper presents a Web-Based Tourism Management System developed using PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, and XAMPP to automate booking operations and improve user experience. The system provides dedicated interfaces for users and administrators. Users can register, log in, browse tour packages, and book tours, while administrators can manage packages, monitor bookings, and update tour details. A centralized MySQL database ensures data integrity and real-time accessibility. The system was designed using the Waterfall Model, covering requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and evaluation. Results demonstrate improved efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in managing tourism activities. Future enhancements may include online payments, real-time notifications, and advanced security features.
