for reservation and makes payment for the system to reserve that until he attends to it or decides
to cancel it.
2.3 Update tour scheme Use Case

The operations in this system are majorly between the customer, system interface and the
database. Whatever the user requests like the tour information, is provided by the system from
the database. All the changes made by the user are updated to the system in the database. The
activities run from the user to the database through the system and back to the user until the tour
is made.

An administrator is the controller of this system. The company's staff cannot add themselves to
the system. After being employed is the work of the admin to enter their details into the system
and remove them once they are no longer staff members. The admin also changes the touring

7.2 Booking
Figure 7: Booking State machine Diagram
The state is initiated by the client requesting for the tour. He or she creates a session stating the
time they will spend. From this, the system automatically calculates the charges and the client is
