In today's worldwide tourism business 30% of all journeys are booked online. For the upcoming years an increase of 17 million online booked accommodations is expected also for Austria. Thus, the World Wide Web raises new possibilities for the creation of competitive advantages. Experts discuss, if tourism suppliers can afford to refuse adequate IT applications in the future.
Together with the two Austrian competence network (ANET) nodes in Salzburg and Krems the Tyrolean competence center Austria (ECCA) supports local tourism at the coverage of the above technology driven challenge. In order to reach these ambitious targets, 20 researchers at ECCA develop world class e-Tourism solutions for the tourism destination of the future.
