This document describes SIGTUR-ZULIA, a GIS project at the University of Zulia in Venezuela for tourism planning in Zulia State. The project aims to establish a tourism planning information system using GIS technologies to document and analyze relevant data. It outlines the subsystem structure and processes for collecting, organizing, analyzing and producing maps and reports on topics like tourist facilities, natural resources, and accessibility to support sustainable tourism development. Public users can access predefined thematic maps online while planners have access to complex analysis and custom map creation through a client-server system.
