Abstract
Based on the notes issued by the Garut Regency Tourism Office explained that the interest of the community to visit religious tourism objects in the Garut district region is relatively high. Attractions visited are generally in the form of a sacred tomb. Broadly speaking, almost all districts in the Garut district have graves that can be used for pilgrimage. However, the visit of new tourists is limited to a few districts. The tourists generally come from outside Garut regency which is spread throughout the provinces in Java. The limited information possessed by potential tourists as well as the dissemination of information by related parties can be the cause of the spread of the purpose of the visit to be limited as well as the number of tourists interested in making a visit. One alternative solution that can be done by the Garut district government in particular is by designing a geographic information system mapping web-based religious tourism objects. The research aims to design a geographic information system mapping web-based religious tourism objects that presents regional mapping that can explain the state of infrastructure and public facilities available on these attractions. To get optimal software, we need a method that is relevant to the actual situation. For this need, in this research an object-oriented software development method is used, namely the rational unified process, so it is expected that the application of this system can increase the number and spread of tourists towards tourist destinations.
