Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the use of interactive multimedia features on mobile travel services to improve touristic experiences. This study delivered a workable prototype with visiting Sarawak as a case study by integrating locality/authenticity design and interactive multimedia features content. User-testing was carried out to identify whether the mobile application usability can improve visitor experiences. A total of 40 visitors (18 male and 22 female) were recruited to participate in the user-testing study. The results indicated a positive SUS score 81 out of 100 and that multimedia interactivity on mobile travel application could enrich tourist’s co-creation experiences compared to just static navigation and limited interaction. The outcome also significantly enhanced tourism experiences through authenticity design attractions such as iconicity and heritage elements value of a destination region.
