Abstract:This paper provides an initiative for the development and the implementation of Geographic Information System (GIS) in the tourism industry for Elbasan, which represent an important region in the centre of Albania. It is focused on the analysis, decisions making and management of tourism activities using GIS technique. GIS integrates spatial database, statistical data and textual information. Applications of GIS in tourism and recreation planning illustrate that GIS is a strong and effective tool that can help in tourism planning and decision-making. The results of this paper suggest that the power of GIS lies not only in the ability to visualize spatial relationships, but it also reflects many interconnected components and complex relationships in the tourism industry.
