“…Methodologically closer to our study is that of Nonthapot and Watchalaanun (2015) who validated a causal relationship between tourist development and telecommunication investment in Thailand using time series data over the period 1983-2013. Tichaawa (2017) also observed that Information and Communication structures were associated with increased competitiveness for a cross section of tourism related business in South Africa, while Ilic and Nicolic (2018), also found a moderate positive and significant relationship between the degree of contribution of ICT readiness pillar and the competitiveness of the tourism sector in the Republic of Serbia using correlation analysis.…”

“…The authors confirmed that the number of tourist arrivals and telecommunication investment have a long-term relationship. Other related studies have only indirectly linked ICT to tourism through channels related to competitiveness (Buhalis, 1998,2003; Namasivayam et al , 2000; Buhalis and O’Connor (2005), Mihalič and Buhalis, 2013; Tichaawa, 2017; Kim and Kim, 2017, Ilic and Nicolic (2018), productivity (Aramendia-Muneta and Ollo-Lopez, 2013; Buhalis, 2003; Buhalis and Molinaroli, 2003; Chandler and Munday, 2011), operation cost reduction (Inkpen, 1998; Sheldon, 1997; Bojnec and Kribel, 2004; Buhalis and Kaldis, 2008; Tichaawa, 2017) and tourism promotion (Buhalis, 1998; Luo et al , 2004, Buhalis and Law, 2008; Romanazzi et al , 2011) among others.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the availability and contribution of destinations’ telecommunication structure and development on tourism development for the case of the small island economy of Mauritius. Design/methodology/approach The research uses annual data from 1992 to 2017 in a dynamic econometric setting, namely, an autoregressive distributed lag model to take into account the time series properties of the data. Findings Analysis of the results showed that telecommunication has contributed positively, albeit to a lesser extent as compared to other classical determinants, to tourist development in both the short and long run. In addition, the relatively high income elasticity also suggests that Mauritius is considered as a luxurious destination. Tourists were found to be sensitive to the relative prices and cost of the destination, tourism infrastructure and the island’s development level. Finally, the study confirms the presence repeat tourism on the island. Practical implications The result clearly provides support to the Government’s strategy to pursue an accelerated investment in telecommunication infrastructure and also to give further incentives to private operators to promote innovation and enhanced connectivity. It is recognised that the positive effect of telecommunication on the tourism industry relies on a national enabling telecommunication environment which is multi facet in nature, relying on to a large extent on infrastructure, access, capacity building and the legal framework among others. Originality/value The study is believed to supplement the literature by analysing the telecommunication–tourism link in a direct way as existing studies have largely discussed the link indirectly. Moreover, it uses a classical international demand for tourism model, augmented with a measure of telecommunication, and uses recent dynamic time series econometric framework to account for the existence of dynamism in tourism modelling. Finally, the research brings additional evidences from an island economy perspective (heavily tourist dependent and geographically remote), often neglected by the related literature which has focused mainly on developed countries.

“…Teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) memiliki pengaruh positif yang signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan dan perkembangan pariwisata (Ilić & Nikolić, 2018;TFAILY, 2018;Tsaurai & Chimbo, 2019). Perkembangan TIK telah terbukti mendukung peningkatan kualitas sektor pariwisata di Indonesia, di antaranya melalui platform E-Commerce yang turut membantu pelaku usaha dan pemerintah untuk meningkatkan kinerja sektor pariwisata di Indonesia baik dari sisi teknologi maupun melalui edukasi bagi para pemangku kepentingan.…”

Kegiatan pariwisata merupakan sektor strategis yang diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi yang cukup besar terhadap perekonomian Negara. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah menggambarkan pengembangan ekosistem bisnis pariwisata terpadu berbasiskan strategi 5 jalur. Penulisan ini merupakan hasil pemikiran yang didasarkan pada studi literatur dari berbagai sumber, termasuk didalamnya hasil kajian empirik dari beberapa penelitian sebelumnya. Strategi 5 (lima) jalur merupakan pengembangan dari strategi 4 (empat) jalur yang terdiri dari pro growth, pro job, pro poor, dan pro-environment yang merupakan pemikiran dan kebijakan presiden SBY dalam periode kepemimpinannya ditambah strategi jalur yang ke-5 adalah pro technology. Strategi ini diterapkan dalam pengembangan ekosistem pariwisata terpadu agar meningkatkan permintaan barang dan jasa pada sektor pariwisata dan sektor-sektor lainnya yang berdampak pada peningkatan pertumbuhan ekonomi, penyerapan tenaga kerja serta mengurangi kemiskinan daerah lokasi pariwisata dengan pemanfaatan TIK dalam peningkatan kinerja pariwisata serta mendorong pembangunan yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Ekosistem bisnis pariwisata harus dapat dipahami dengan baik agar dapat mengalokasikan sumber daya tepat sasaran dengan memilih prioritas yang dikembangkan terlebih dahulu didalam pariwisata. Pariwisata akan berkontribusi maksimal pada perekonomian negara, bila dikembangkan secara berencana dan terpadu, serta diperlukan kolaborasi antara semua pemangku kepentingan. Pariwisata terpadu harus mengotimalkan sumber daya lokal, kegiatan, produk, industri produksi dan jasa, dan masyarakat lokal yang partisipatif sebagai upaya untuk memadukan pembangunan dan pengelolaan daya tarik wisata, fasilitas pariwisata dan fasilitas ekonomi lainnya di dalam satu kawasan sebagai sebuah destinasi pariwisata.

“…The Internet has changed the tourists' behavior regarding travel reservations (Mills & Law, 2004;Ilić & Nikolić, 2018). The main reason for this change is the fact that the Internet offers opportunity for easy and direct interaction and exchange of information between suppliers, on the one hand (such as hotels, airlines, car rentals), and tourists, on the other, thus bypassing traditional travel agencies (Werthner & Klein, 1999 Klahn, 2015), and to access this information 24/7 ).…”

For several decades there has been a growing trend of a tourist getting informed about the destination and its aspects using the Internet and other media. Nowadays, this is increased to a higher level by the fact that, after initial search, more and more tourists start to arrange their trip, accommodation and additional services by themselves. These facts put a traditional travel agent in a very demanding position. Namely, he/she needs to be capable of performing all the activities in a much effective way, which would make them still competitive in the market. The main objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of contemporary young tourists in Serbia, in order to determine what aspects of business modern travel agents and online booking systems should improve to meet their needs. The results of this study could be used as a guideline by travel agents and designers of online services for their further development. Online rezervacije ili turistički agenti: Perspektiva mladih turista u SrbijiSažetak: Nekoliko decenija unazad raste trend u kome se turista putem Interneta i drugih medija informiše o različitim aspektima destinacije. Usled činjenice da sve više turista nakon ove prve pretrage počinje sebi da organizuje putovanje, smeštaj i ostale neophodne usluge, značaj Interneta podignut je na još viši nivo. Napred navedena činjenica klasičnog turističkog agenta dovodi u veoma zahtevan položaj, jer se od njega zahteva sposobnost da sve poslove vezane za putovanje obavi na mnogo efikasniji način, kako bi bio konkurentan na turističkom tržištu. Cilj rada jeste da se istraži ponašanje savremenih mladih turista u Srbiji, kako bi se utvrdilo koje aspekte poslovanja bi trebalo da unaprede moderni turistički agenti i sistemi za onlajn rezervacije kako bi odgovorili njihovim potrebama. Rezultati istraživanja mogu poslužiti turističkim agencijama i kreatorima onlajn usluga kao smernice budućeg razvoja.Ključne reči: turistički agenti, Internet, mladi turisti, Srbija JEL klasifikacija: O33, Z32 *
