of this pocket PC application is due to the needs on hotel website in mobile device by
telecommuting staff in PETRONAS Gas Berhad (PGB) and after studying the
advantages of the mobile device latest technologies. Currently, the telecommuting
staff in PGB do not use mobile device to get the hotel's information. Upon this
problem, the HiP will be an alternative tool to handle this problem. The objective of
this project is to develop a hotel web site, for telecommuting staff in mobile device,
Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and to provide adequate and well arranged
information, interface and design for easy and quick access .. It will help for easy and
quick access with organized information, simple and easy navigation, and user
friendly interface. At present, the telecommuting staff will get the hotel's information
from various and numerous sources such as computers and via telephones. It does not
offer mobile characteristics and sometimes, the information is inadequate or
insignificant. The mobile characteristic here means the ease of use to get the
information at anytime and anywhere. The scope of studies will include the website's
interface for PDA analysis, design and development, and data gathering on the hotels
involved. Besides, it will cover on information synchronization between the PDA and
computers. The software that will be used is eMbedded Visual Basic. Meanwhile,
PDA, and computer are the hardware for data display devices. Through the findings,
