Bulukumba Regency has diverse tourism potential, including marine, natural, and cultural attractions, such as Bira Beach and the traditional Pinisi shipbuilding heritage. However, tourism information management in this region remains conventional, fragmented, and not spatially integrated, making it difficult for tourists to access accurate information and limiting data support for location-based decision-making by local governments. This study aims to design and implement a web-based Geographic Information System (WebGIS) as an interactive and integrated digital platform for tourism information in Bulukumba Regency. The research adopts a descriptive approach with a software engineering methodology using the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) prototyping model. Data were collected through observation, interviews with the local Tourism Office, and literature review. The system was developed using geographic coordinate data, a database of tourist attractions and supporting facilities, and WebGIS technology for digital map visualization. System testing was conducted using black-box testing. The results indicate that the developed WebGIS is capable of presenting tourist locations interactively, providing detailed information on destinations and supporting facilities, and offering route access and spatial visualization based on digital maps. The implementation of this system improves the efficiency and accuracy of tourism information dissemination and supports basic spatial analysis for tourism management and policy-making.
