E-business for Tourism by World Tourism Organization. Business Council Pdf

The Internet is an ideal medium for travel and tourism and its use has continued to grow at a dramatic rate (some forecasts have suggested that travel and tourism's share of e-commerce could rise to 50 per cent in the next few years). This book offers guidance to both destination management organisations (DMOs) and tourism businesses on how best to use e-commerce. The first part analyses market trends and explains the concepts of e-business and customer relationship management. The second part focuses on the DMOs, and how they can respond to the changing value chains and how they can provide websites for consumers, intermediaries, travel media and tourism businesses. The last part is concerned with e-business for tourism suppliers, particularly small and medium sized enterprises.

Towards Sustainable Society on Ubiquitous Networks by Makoto Oya,Ryuya Uda,Chizuko Yasunobu Pdf

The massive growth of the Internet has made an enormous amount of infor- tion available to us. However, it is becoming very difficult for users to acquire an - plicable one. Therefore, some techniques such as information filtering have been - troduced to address this issue. Recommender systems filter information that is useful to a user from a large amount of information. Many e-commerce sites use rec- mender systems to filter specific information that users want out of an overload of - formation [2]. For example, Amazon. com is a good example of the success of - commender systems [1]. Over the past several years, a considerable amount of research has been conducted on recommendation systems. In general, the usefulness of the recommendation is measured based on its accuracy [3]. Although a high - commendation accuracy can indicate a user's favorite items, there is a fault in that - ly similar items will be recommended. Several studies have reported that users might not be satisfied with a recommendation even though it exhibits high recommendation accuracy [4]. For this reason, we consider that a recommendation having only accuracy is - satisfactory. The serendipity of a recommendation is an important element when c- sidering a user's long-term profits. A recommendation that brings serendipity to users would solve the problem of “user weariness” and would lead to exploitation of users' tastes. The viewpoint of the diversity of the recommendation as well as its accuracy should be required for future recommender systems.
