Abstract

The city of Azogues is the capital of the province of Cañar, with a population of 35,763 inhabitants. This city has many tourist attractions that must be promoted effectively for visitors. This project aims to develop a mobile application through modern development platforms to promote tourist destinations, providing specific information about them, thus obtaining the potential to improve the user experience. For this project, detailed information about local tourist sites was collected, and an application was designed incorporating important information, detailed routes, public transportation options, and interactive maps that meet users' needs. Functional tests were performed to ensure that the application would fulfill its primary purpose: to enhance the experience of those visiting the city of Azogues. As a result, a mobile application will provide specific information about the city's tourist sites, improving visitors' experience and optimizing the time to reach destinations.
