Design And Implementation of Group Tourist Monitoring Application With Realtime Database Firebase

The purpose of this study was to determine the stages of creating a group tourist monitoring application using Firebase Realtime Database. Foreign tourists tend to visit Bali in groups and choose tour packages offered by the travel. During a tour at a tourist site, tourists are often too far away from the group and are confused to go back to search for a group or tour leader. One way to overcome this problem is to utilize information technology by building a mobile-based application This application is intended for tourists who visit the place of tour in groups (group tour). Before starting the tour, every tourist will be lent a smart phone. In the smart phone there are android-based applications that send GPS coordinates, timing and identity code of tourists to the cloud server simultaneously. In this application is also given the facility "panic" is a facility that can be used by member group tourist to send a sign of confusion to their tour leader. Tour leader can see all the positions of his group members through the mobile device screen equipped with google map. This application is designed by using UML diagrams and using real-time firebase database. The test results of this application, show tour leader easier to monitor the movement of members of the tour group. Tour group members are also easier to see his own position and see the position of all his group tour.
