dc.description.abstractIn many Sub-Saharan African countries, tourism is one of the most important and fastestgrowing economic sectors. However the sector has not developed at the anticipated rate in emerging nations such as Ethiopia. Although Ethiopia has many potential tourist attractions, due to insufficient and inadequate tourism promotion, shortcomings in website content, such as a lack of maps and up-to-date information, have become a barrier to the sector's development. These are not only costly due to the need for information updates and expirations, but they also lack sufficient abstractions to assist visitors in making travel plans.Web-GIS databases are one of the most successful ways to sell tourism. The primary goal of this study was to create a GISenabled online interactive tool for tourists. Using data obtained from the Addis Ababa city administration, this study created a Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) model with dynamic and interactive maps for managing and promoting tourism resources. This was created using open source Web-GIS software, GeoServer, PostgreSQL, and Tomcat Apache, and users have access to it. Web maps were designed and created using the outcomes of spatially based tourism data flow and database models contained in a web-based GIS with more abstractions.The designed model allows for the management and promotion of tourism resources in order to ensure a successful and long-term tourism industry
