Abstract


Abstract: West Sumba Regency has many traditional villages, local dances and bu-daya festivals that can be seen as cultural tourist attractions. This is indicated by the increasing number of people visiting cultural tourist attractions in West Sumba. However, there are still few promotional and information services available for tourists related to cultural tourism to visit, such as location information, events and access to cultural tourism spots in West Sumba. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to create a mobile phone-based application that can promote bu-culture tourism in West Sumba Regency. The specific objective is to create a platform that makes it easy for tourists to explore and understand the cultural richness and cultural tourism destinations of West Sumba. This research uses a user-centered design (UCD) approach to create a successful mobile application. This application will help tourists get information about cultural tourism destinations in West Sumba. In addition, the app has additional features, such as maps, traditional villages, local dances, cultural festivals, event schedules and travel agents.
