Exploiting them is extremely important, as the internationalization of the activities of a tourist enterprise can become easier and cheaper to create virtual offices and shop windows via web. The very tourist distribution systems have changed dramatically in recent years, which is reflected not only in the traditional distribution channels, such as suppliers of tourism and tour operators, but also to their own tourist destinations and tourism policy formulation.
