Theoretical Framework
by ayu
To support my final project product about interactive CD of the beaches in Pangandaran, I have selected some research that will be used for the foundation of my product. I divide that research into several parts. There are the explanation about tourism, tourist attraction, and tourist, and also the explanation about the software that I will use in making my project, Adobe Flash CS3. Besides, I also include the theory of interactive CD itself and the content of interactive CD to guide what I have to do with my product.
1. Tourism
There are some definitions about tourism. According to an online article “Tourism is an activity done by an individual or a group of individuals, which leads to a motion from a place to another.” (discoveryAlex.com, 2006). Another opinion is explained by Hunziker and Krapf which defined tourism as “The sum of the phenomena and relationships arising from the travel and stay of non-residents, insofar as they do not lead to permanent residence and are not connected with any earning activity"(qtd in Tourism, Definition of Tourism, par.4). Besides, one of the online articles explains that “Tourism is the act of the travel and visiting places, independent from the purpose” (Accent Online Magazine, 2010).
According to the definitions above, tourism can be defined as one kind activity that does by the people to enjoy the beautiful phenomenon in the world. Moreover, this material will support my project about interactive CD of five beaches at Pangandaran, because actually my project is related to the tourism, so I need many resources about that
2. Tourist attraction
According to the online dictionary, Year 7 Geography Vocabulary,” Tourist attraction is places where people travel for interests and pleasure” (Year 7 Geography Vocabulary, 2010). Besides, one of the online article describes that Indonesia offer many tourist attractions, such as mountains, particularly volcanoes, dense forest, attractive beaches, and spectacular natural beauty (AsiaRooms.com, 2010). Another resource says that a tourist attraction is “A place where tourists, foreign and domestic, normally visit” (Tourist Attraction-Definition, 2010). Moreover this article also talks that every tourist attractions should have a special phenomenon that can be attracted the tourists.
Hence, the tourist attraction can be defined as places that usually visit by the people. Actually these places are containing with the beautiful phenomenon, such as mountains, lakes, beaches, forests, and natural beauty. The five beaches in Pangandaran is one kind of that beautiful phenomenon that I can promote as a tourist attraction.
3. Tourist
People who enjoy tourist attraction can be called as a tourist. According to World Tourism Organization, tourist can be describes as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited" (WTO, par.1). It is mean that tourists are people who come and enjoy the tourist attractions. It is support by the Accent Online Magazine that describes tourists as a people who come to another places for their own secret concern (Accent Online Magazine, par.2).
From those explanations, tourist can be defined as people who come to the tourist attraction and do the fun activities that can make them enjoy that. Moreover, all of these explanations will support my data to know who the object (tourists) of my project. After I know about the definition of tourists itself, I will know about the people that will become my target in my final project. They are tourists.

4. CD Interactive
“CD Interactive is an effective tool for many types of communication, from learning resources to product catalogues and promotional package” (Multimedia Production, par.1). According to an online article, the features that will include to the interactive CD are the picture, text, video clips, sound clips, and websites links (Precise Service Media, par.13).
From the explanations above, interactive CD is one kind of media promotion which can make the object that will be promote more attractive because interactive CD contain with many interesting feature, such as sounds, video, picture, and so on.
5. The benefit of using Interactive CD as a Media Promotion
Precise Service Media article describes that there are several benefits of using interactive CD as a media promotion. The benefits are;
Speed (effective promotional tool)
Low cost
CD/DVD has a big capacity, so we can become more creative.
Quality (CD/DVD has a higher resolution video than the web)
Interactivity
Easy authoring (not expensive)
Unique
(Precise Service Media, par.9)

From the explanation above, we know that using interactive CD as a media promotion has many benefits. Not only the promotion will be more attractive and interactive, but also we can safe much money because the cost of the CD is not too high. Moreover, those data are very support my data, because it can shows that my project will have several benefits.
6. The content of Interactive CD
Enem Interactive, the online article said that interactive CD may be included some content such as video, narration, animation, simulations, sound effects, and music. Besides, Druantia says in her article “Terriers Bonus Interactive CD-room” that the content of the interactive CD are games, animation, sound, and videos.
From these explanations about the content of the interactive CD, I conclude that there are several content of interactive CD, such as sound, animation, and even videos. Hence, these sources support my data to include the video of each beach.
7. Adobe Flash CS3
According to an online article, Adobe Flash CS3 is software for creating websites, rich media advertisement, instructional media, presenting, game, and etcetera (Atare, 2009, par.1). Besides, Atare also describes in his article that Adobe Flash CS3 can produce interactive video and animation. Moreover, it can also make the video more interactive (Atare, 2009, par.2).
From Atare explanations, I know that adobe flash CS3 is one kind of software that I can use to make my product about interactive CD. Besides, in this software I can make my project more interactive because I can include the video, and the picture to the CD. It is support by Nicolas McGregor opinion which says “Adobe Flash CS3is a software solution for creating interactive media. The flash authoring environment enables games, animations, advertisements, and web page” (Nicolas McGregor, 2009)
