To assist in the planning of tourist events and to gauge venue locations, the author crafted a device dubbed the Social Distance Portable Lantern （Distance Lantern）. This innovative tool identifies tourists passing near predetermined access points. An enhanced version of the Distance Lantern, using a navigation satellite system （NSS） such as GPS, can capture the precise locations of tourists. This data is then transmitted using a digital, low-power community radio, offering nearly real-time insights into tourists’ activities. The updated device tracks movements of tourists between access points and their transit routes within venues, a task with which the original version struggled. By analyzing movement data from this improved Distance Lantern alongside survey responses, patterns in routes chosen by tourists with varying attributes become evident. Operational results confirmed the significant advantage to event management of obtaining real-time movement information on tourists through wireless transmission of NSS location data. Furthermore, a correlation was observed between a tourist’s attributes and chosen routes. This suggests applications such as modifying venue guidance based on tourists’ attributes.
