Abstract

Wireless technologies are being rapidly diffused in the market worldwide. The gradual implementation of 3G networks and the expansion of wireless LANs transform the way people communicate and provide new opportunities for companies and organisations. As tourism and travel imply mobility by definition, these developments will have great effects and arc expected to revolutionise all aspects of the tourism products, processes and industry structures. These developments bring a new set of opportunities and challenges for tourism destinations and the way they are being managed. This paper is a first attempt to define all the stakeholders, whose participation is required for wireless services to become available on destinations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
