Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have transformed the travel and leisure sector worldwide. The digital information age has changed global tourism in profound ways. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are pervasive, and they have become inextricably linked with contemporary consumer cultures. ICTs represent affordances: to apprise, plan, order, network, socialize, stream, transact and rate. These are remunerated with concessions in the form of consumer data that is used to determine product/service marketability, and to predict and manipulate consumer choices. As a result, ICTs have profoundly changed society, with repercussions for identity formation, social norms, and business structures. Tourism is at the forefront of these developments: as a driver of ICT introductions, an arena for testing & trialing, and a global market. This new book Provides comprehensive and up to date coverage of major topics in tourism information technologies. The intersection of tourism and information technology (IT) is the focus of this book, which is designed for students of tourism and hospitality and for industry students and professionals"-- Back cover. 0aTourismxInformation technology. 0aTourismxData processing.  2ddcn0cBKh338.47910285iK960ikCIRm2024  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcGRDd2026-07-28l0oGRD 338.47910285 K960i 2024p032004r2026-07-28 10:12:03t1-1w2026-07-28yBK  c32770d32770
