From new trends in the tourism industry it is shown that the investment in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is the main feature in action strategy destinations. The rapid development of technology and broad coverage of communications networks and media social networking (Twitter, Facebook) created a new trend in information search in the tourism industry.
Given the above, it appears that the need to promote our country as a tourist destination should be fully harmonized with the new trends of international markets, the application of modern tools and electronic communications. It thus appears from the above, the need to develop e-marketing, with the main aim to exploit, implement and manage all communication channels (cross channels) in the context of digital technology.
This program entitled "Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism" provides knowledge and skills in the field of new technologies and e-business to IT and tourism students. It has an absolutely practical nature since in each module, apart from the basic theory, the emphasis is given on practical activities with navigation, evaluation and assessment of selected sites, business model design and electronic services, developing scenarios for the presence of the tourist business on the Internet and internship in creating simple websites for tourism businesses.
Furthermore, the project is directly related and relevant to labor market needs for people specialized in ICT technologies in tourism. In the current context, it is particularly essential to boost tourism development based on the comparative advantages of our country.
