ABSTRACT
This project is based on multimedia GIS of tourism sites in Cross River State. Tourism in Cross River State is geared towards the diversification of the state based industry as well as providing an alternative means of improving the state internally generated revenue. The objective of the research is to map the tourism sites and develop a multimedia GIS Database for Cross River State. To achieve the objectives of this research, Hand held GPS was used to locate tourism sites and for update of digital maps of Cross River State. Cartographic digitization was employed to produce the tourism map of the state. A relational GIS database was created using Arc Map 10.1. Ulead Video DV X2 with a Fire wire 1394 adapter was used in downloading video clips recorded by the Digital Video Camera into Personal Computer (PC). Ulead Video Studio Pro X2 which has the capability of converting recorded sound to wave files which are later converted into AVI files and also of converting scanned images and photographs into Video Clips was also used. Microsoft Window Media Player played the Video Clips. Finally, spatial search and multimedia queries were carried out to test the database. This research has been able to demonstrate the dynamic capacities of Geographic information system application in mapping, analysis and modeling of Geographic phenomenon. This is to aid tourism planning authorities, tourists, and government agencies to visualize, plan, monitor, manage and access various tourist sites in Cross River State. This database should be updated from time to time in other to capture new developing areas with the facilities that are present.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0  INTRODUCTION

1.1    Background to the Study

This project is based on multimedia GIS of tourism sites in Cross River State.  Tourism in

Cross River state is geared towards the diversification of the state based industry as well as providing an alternative means of improving the state internally generated revenue. It is expected that the construction and maintenance of huge tourism and travel facilities as well as the provision of accompanying services would be an important incentive for economic growth and development of the state. Developing a multimedia GIS database for Tourism industry is a perceived technical solution to the problem of planning, management and promotion of both domestic and international tourism in cross river state. Such a database constitutes the basis for promoting efficient and productive multimedia spatial information services by private and government tourism agents all over the country (Ayeni 2006).

Cross River State is blessed with a lot of tourism sites which are yet to be discovered. For the purpose of this work, the technology of Geographic Information System has been deployed to capture the inventory of the tourist sites within the state to make it known and readily accessible so that people can have information about them. Each State in Nigeria must be conscious of her tourism potentials and use multimedia GIS to manage tourism effectively.

According to Ayeni(2006) the Nigerian Government in her quest to diversify her mono-cultural economy, which is heavily dependent on petroleum export, has decided to take some bold measures to develop and promote travel and tourism. These measures include the adoption of the National Tourism Policy (NTP) in 1990, the birth of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) in 1992, the founding of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR), in Baganda, Kano, and the National travel Bureau (NTB), a tour operating company of NTDC, (NTDC (2001)), the adoption of a Tourism Master Plan and the inauguration of the National Tourism Council with the President as chairman. The aim of these measures was to make Nigeria the ultimate Tourism destination in Africa and to make Tourism one of the greatest foreign exchange earners in an oil dependent economy.
