Aurangabad is a historic city located in the heart of Maharashtra. It is rapidly becoming a hot spot for tourist from around the world because of its exotic locations and facilities provide by the government. This paper describes the development of the tourism management and planning by the integration with the Geographic information system (GIS). This study covers tourism destinations which include tourist spots, historical spots, gate, museum, hotel, restaurants ,as well as complementing tourism destination services which include police station and hospital in Aurangabad city and how to the utilization of GIS technology can be used to improved tourism management. Also to model accessibility to these points of interest mentioned above using Geographic information system analytical tool and the function of the tourist industry is more and more emerging as the internet. Geographic coordinates of the location of all tourist spots, historical spots, gate, museum, hotel, restaurants, police station, hospital and various tourist destinations have been picked with their corresponding attributes to build a model using the Google earth/Google Map and KML file techniques. Analyses to aid a decision for management and future planning was carried out using the spatial statistical tools in the GIS application used for this study. A paper to present the tourist object in geospatial context on the interactive map supports planning the tourism and focusing on the analysis decision making and management using Google earth or Google map and KML file technique and finally presenting the result on the internet.
