Usages of the internet and e-tourism. Towards a new economy of tourism

Résumé

This paper analyses the impact of internet on the organization of industry and the market
dynamics in the tourism activities, focusing in the European scene. Tourism incorporates many features of
the contemporaneous information and communication economy. Even if e-tourism still stands for a small
share of the whole tourism activity, the paper establishes that the internet basically explains the
organization of the activities and markets that emerge today. A relevant analytical framework able to
apprehend these dynamics is first defined. The concept of sectoral system of production and innovation is
shown to provide a relevant analytical framework to grasp the basic changes of the tourism industry. The
paper enlightens on this basis the evolution resulting from the emergence of e-tourism and the uses of
internet, their impacts on the coordination of the activities and the markets, with a special focus on the
European case
