Marketing Information Systems are an essential means for effective tourism marketing and improving quality of services of tourism organizations. This research provides insights into a successful implementation of a marketing information system in tourism. It discusses the importance of information system applications and information needs in tourism management applied to the tourism business sector in Egypt. The main results of this article are that most of the Egyptian tourism business sector enterprises have yet to develop their online presence. Most tourism organizations that have online presence do not have marketing information applications or tourism marketing services in place to support online marketing and transactions. To improve the situation, tourism business sector companies in Egypt need to develop information technology-based marketing strategies in order to take full advantage of information system applications. The Egyptian government should employ its own control to modify the regulations in order to help tourism business sector enterprises to adopt information system technologies in an effective manner.

This paper presents the results of a study on the quality of the Web sites for hotels in the Italian Alpine region, where most hotels are of small or medium size. The goal was to determine whether and to what degree the hotels’ Web sites support their activities of promotion and commercialization by examining them through the framework of destination management. To this end, we defined an evaluation model using a goaldriven approach, thus making it possible to instantiate the dimensions of a general metamodel for Web-site quality. The results showed, apart from a great deal of variation among the hotels, the weak areas in which operators and developers need to intervene to improve the efficacy of the hotels’ Web sites.
