- UK TOURISM MINISTER PRESENTS NEW E-COMMERCE STUDY
submitted by Himalee Rupesinghe
of GCIUK.com
Minister Kim Howells launched a major new report on e-tourism, which
investigates how British tourism firms are using new technology to boost
their business. The 'E-commerce Impact Study for the Tourism Sector', carried out by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the DCMS and the DTI-led UK online for
business, examines the use of information and communication technologies (ICT)
by accommodation providers and attraction operators. The report makes a number of recommendations: * firms should integrate
their e-commerce strategies into their business plans, rather than viewing
technology as an 'add-on' * technology systems need to be integrated,
enabling real-time online booking and payment * customer relationship
management needs to be exploited more effectively - only 16% of those
interviewed currently analyse customer data collected from their website *
clear measures need to be put in place to assess the return on investment
from ICT.
