OverviewConsumers, who are increasingly mobile and better informed, are becoming more demanding in the eTourism world. However, what role will mobile devices play in the communication process with marketing, strategy and other functions?

To what extent will new technologies, expert systems, new types of online-available consumer or business databases, and sophisticated models influence traditional research approaches in both the tourism and information technology arena? What is the contribution of information technology to organizational performance and social welfare when considering the microstructured characteristics of the tourism industry?
