What exactly is e-tourism?

E-tourism, but what does it mean exactly? Here we will look at this new behaviour through the eyes of users and professionals.

E-tourism includes all activities related to online tourism.

From our point of view as users, e-tourism means

• Searching for information about a destination (weather, currency, language, etc.)
• Booking a holiday online (on any booking site)
• Comparing prices of several airlines

Exchanges between Internet users about their different trips are also considered as e-tourism (reading blogs, comments on the Internet or live exchanges on platforms).

Tourists carrying out this type of action even have a new nickname: touristonauts.

From the point of view of professionals, this is what can be considered as e-tourism:

• • Any travel agency with an online presence (Lastminute, Havas voyage...)
  • Price comparison platforms
  • Airlines that offer online ticket sales
  • Hosts that offer online booking

This is a very buoyant sector, even at the moment, with the development of https://styqr.fr/2021/07/23/le-tourisme-de-proximite-cest-quoi/
