COVID-19 pandemic has caused huge economic losses in almost all industries. Thus, the economic crisis caused by this pandemic has modeled huge challenges for leisure industry. Travel bans, closed borders, mandatory quarantine after border crossing, reduced contacts are just some of the problems that citizens around the world have encountered. Observed from the point of view of tourism, a special problem was curfew and quarantine closure of cities and areas. All these significantly disrupted global tourism, which have been in full upswing in the years before pandemic. The research described in this chapter aims to give a description of the proposed software solution intended for better control and records of infected persons. The straightforward use of the proposed software solution aims to reduce the potential for the virus to spread among tourists. In order to reduce the potential for the spread of the virus, the proposed software solution needs to enable a better control of the movement of infected persons. Proper control of the movement of infected persons reduces the pressure on the tourism sector and opens the possibility of reoperation of tourist facilities for persons who are not infected. The proposed system is based on mutual cooperation of several actors. Thus, at the local and state level, the healthcare system can be singled out. Actors acting only at the local level are tourism organizations and local governments, while the actor acting only at the state level is border control. When it comes to the process of collecting personal data of patients, the bearer of this task within the system is the local health organization, which is certainly the first in contact with infected patients. In this way, the role of the healthcare organization is the proper registration of infected patients, and their entry into the proposed system. This part of the system also provides data on vaccinated and revaccinated patients. In order not to further burden the healthcare system, proposed software solution will use existing data and will not require additional tests. Based on provided data from all actors, the integrated management system will create a database with vaccinated or tested positive persons. This database will be obtained by merging several databases into one so-called centralized register. However, each of the actors in the system has the right to use only that part of the data that is essential for their work. In this way, the system is able to protect personal patient data from unauthorized access. The system will allow one to check vaccination or home isolation status of an individual and, based on the results, approve or deny reservations. The edge/cloud architecture at the same time will provide data availability, and data access control.
