EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The study aimed to develop an iTravel Mobile Guide Application intended for tourists and Tourism office employees of eleven (11) chosen municipalities out of 14 municipalities in Rizal Province during the Academic Year 2018-2019. The respondents of the study are sixty (60) respondents from the employees of Tourism Office and local guides from selected towns of Rizal and one hundred ten (110) tourists/guests with ten (10) respondents each from the town of Angono, Baras, Binangonan, Cardona, Jala-Jala, Morong, Pililla, Tanay, Taytay, Teresa and Antipolo City of Rizal Province. A total of one hundred seventy (170) respondents were selected through purposive quota sampling technique to determine the target population involved in the study. The application was designed and developed using Android Studio as the main programming software, Java as the scripting language and Adobe Photoshop for picture editing. The researchers found out that the developed application was very much accepted in terms of accuracy, applicability, user-friendliness, workability, completeness, modifiability and clarity. Based on the findings and conclusion, the researchers recommend that the application can lessen the tourist struggles when it comes to finding tourist attractions, resorts, restaurants and other establishments in the towns of Rizal Province in the Philippines. It can help them search easily where a site is located because of the use of responsive application. Also, output of the study may serve as reference for future researchers. The researchers likewise recommend that there should be a follow-up study for further enhancement of the application.
