A Sketch of a MDA Approach to Accelerate the Development of User Interfaces in Tourism Web Applications

Abstract

The rapid growth of the smart tourism sector necessitates the development of efficient and reliable web applications tailored to the demands of modern travelers. However, developing these applications is complex and requires expertise across various technologies, frameworks, and design considerations. This paper introduces an approach that harnesses the power of Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) to accelerate web application development. By generating code from high-level models, we bridge the gap between design and implementation. This approach ensures consistency, reduces manual coding efforts, and enhances maintainability. The heart of the approach lies in creating comprehensive metamodels that captures essential web elements, including navigation between pages, using Garrett's visual vocabulary. By embracing MDA principles, we empower developers to create smart tourism web applications more efficiently, adapt to changing requirements, and deliver exceptional user experiences.
