Fieldtrip Ni Juan is a mobile application that helps on advertising some of the tourist spots in the Philippines by using augmented reality in order to give a different experience to its users instead of simply viewing the images and videos of these tourist spots. Philippines has tons of beautiful tourist spots that are known to most of the Filipinos, but the country is lacking in terms of advertising these tourist spots since the Philippines is still not being considered as one of the must go-to vacation spots in the world. In 2017, the target foreign tourists in the country was set to 7 million. In the first half of the year, more than 3 million foreign tourists had already visited the country. It is an improvement compare to previous years but if it would be compared with the other Southeast Asian countries, the Philippines is still way left behind. Therefore, this mobile application lets the users to see 3D models of some of the tourist spots in the Philippines. Furthermore, text-to-speech facts about these places are available for the users to read and/or listen. The users can also be directed to a travel guide of the chosen tourist spot. Aside from promoting the tourist destinations, the mobile application also provides what each region in the Philippines is best known for. It highlights the regions history, arts and culture, products, and food. This allows the users to know what the Philippines has to offer aside from its tourist destinations. Also, the users are allowed to like a tourist destination and if they have plans to go to their liked tourist destination, they can indicate which month they are planning to do so. The system has a website for the administrator to receive these data and display the statistics through different charts. The target client of Fieldtrip Ni Juan is the travel agencies in the Philippines. Using the statistics gathered from the likes from the mobile application, it allows the travel agency to create appropriate travel packages for the tourist spots and then markets it to their potential clients which are the users of the mobile app. Moreover, the administrators can see reports of these statistics which are filterable by region, tourist spot, month they chose to visit the liked tourist spot, and/or date when the like was submitted.
