### Weather and Safety Information System: Implications for Tourist Safety and Destination Management  
The system's implications for destination management align with existing policies and regulations prioritizing tourist safety. Providing weather and safety information enhances destination preparedness for weather challenges, enabling timely warnings and recommendations. This proactive approach prevents negative impacts on health, safety, and destination reputation. Successful implementation requires collaboration among stakeholders, including tourism authorities, weather agencies, and local businesses. Sharing data and resources ensures accurate and timely information. Costs, technology, standardization, and regulation of information provision should be considered. [PERSON] et al. [65] support these recommendations. The system promotes responsible tourism by empowering informed decisions and precautions, reducing risks, and enhancing destination sustainability, reputation, and visitor satisfaction.  
Mobile applications for tourism safety have been proposed in several studies. These applications aim to address concerns about criminal incidents and safety issues during travel. The applications provide features such as preventive measures, first-aid assistance, guidance tracking, and safety information. They utilize technologies like beacons Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), mobile device apps, and cloud servers. The applications also incorporate features like context information, collaborative gamified approaches, and real-time emergency information. The proposed applications offer various functions such as tourism data collection, advice, orientation for ecological trails, and tourism queries. They leverage the capabilities of smartphones, including sensors, GPS navigation, and high-speed internetconnectivity. These applications contribute to enhancing the safety and security of tourists during their journeys.  
Researchers [44] have successfully developed an innovative interactive design for a tourism app that places the utmost emphasis on enhancing safety measures across diverse tourist destinations. Their approach encompasses both preventive strategies and timely first-aid assistance, effectively addressing potential criminal incidents. Additionally, [PERSON] et al. [45] introduced a mobile application primarily dedicated to ensuring traveler safety during road trips. This application offers comprehensive safety provisions and prompt aid throughout the journey, thereby providing a worry-free travel experience.  
Upon comparing these two articles, it becomes evident that the proposed application boasts superior functionalities compared to its predecessors. Notably, the proposed application includes a risk warning feature that takes into account weather conditions, a facet that previous research has not addressed. Furthermore, the application is thoughtfully designed to connect its warning system with the nearest medical centers, enabling swift response to any unforeseen conditions tourists may encounter. This real-time monitoring of tourists' well-being during site visits is an exceptional characteristic unique to the proposed application, setting it apart from other existing solutions.  
Moreover, the proposed application offers an additional feature of real-time updates on heat-related illness risks, ensuring that tourists receive up-to-date information to safeguard their well-being. This proactive approach in providing crucial safety-related information is a testament to the application's dedication to enhancing tourist safety and further highlights its superiority over other alternatives.
