This paper contains the design and implementation results of a package tour management application using a Geofence technology as well as the performance evaluation. This application ables the tour guide to monitor the tourist movement in real-time whether the tourists are inside the virtual polygonal Geofence set by the tour guide. Even when the tour is moving between travel destinations, a virtual circular Geofence can be set by the tour guide to monitoring the tourist movement while on the move. The application includes tour guide's and tourist's locations, schedule and participant management. To evaluate the performance, average response time and accuracy is measured, resulting in satisfactory performance. The average response time ranged from 0.0047 seconds to 7.3 seconds in various cases and for accuracy, it scored 100% in various cases. It is expected that implementing Geofence technology to package tour management applications will help tour guides to perform more productive package tours by reducing the burden of managing tourists.

This paper proposes an architecture to develop a mobile package tour application using geofence technology to increase tourism management effectiveness and efficiency. The proposed application allows the tour guide to set a virtual fence on a map with a certain radius dynamically as the virtual boundary to keep tourists inside both when visiting a place or when the tour is moving. The virtual fences are set up for allowing the tour guide to monitoring the tourist's movement by sending a warning to the tourist to get back inside the fence and a notification for the tour guide. If this geofence technology is applied to the package tour application, the tour guide will able to manage the package tour easily and conveniently.

In recently, various kinds of services utilizing the location information of the user's smart phone have appeared. Based on this trend, we designed a new type of learning assistant system that utilizes geofencing technology, which is a field of location information technology. This system identifies the location of the classroom using the location information of learner's the smart phone and automatically provides the necessary learning contents to the learner's smart phone when the learner enters the classroom set as the virtual fence area while carrying the smart phone respectively. Our system provides learning contents in a form similar to the form of a message or a mobile coupon and learners are used to such mobile service environments very much. So the use of learning contents provided by our system is expected to help improve the learning effect of learners.
