With the booming of homestay around Malaysia, it has become a profitable sector under tourism. However, tourist have a difficulty to find and booking homestay as there are not many homestays that have an online booking. Hence, the main objective of this project is to develop a mobile application to become a hub for all homestay in Malaysia. The application will provide a searching homestay function, booking homestay and help navigate function for tourist to the particular homestay selected. This application will help users to save time and cost of travel to get information of homestay that they want to book. The research will cover some of the homestay around Umbai, Melaka and more areas will be cover later. Android operating system has been chosen as the platform for this application because Android’s users are potentially big in numbers. With reference to Technology Acceptance Model and using Rapid Application Development (RAD) as primary method, this study provides a more solid reason to come up with a mobile application using Android. An Android mobile application has become the outcome for this project.
