More people than ever now make leisure trips, making this an era of mass tourism. The scale of this phenomenon means that it is able to generate economic growth, making tourism a key factor in regional development policy. Bringing together a range of European case studies illustrating various ICT and policy innovations, this book examines the interconnections between tourism, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and regional development.
