In the process of creating a tourist map, six basic parameters must be considered: the purpose and duration of the visit, the amount of information that needs to be included in the tourist map, the user's culture and conceptual ability, and the various characteristics of the portrayed area. Unsuccessful consideration of these parameters in traditional tourist maps reduces their functionality. This paper discusses the above concepts, and introduces the idea of using CIS technology as the environment for creating more effective cartographic products for tourist needs.
