ICTs are essential tools for the integration of tourism businesses at the local level into tourism distribution networks, provided appropriate strategies, competences and cooperation mechanisms are developed and implemented by all stakeholders.

These strategies should be based on a situation analysis of all aspects of tourism impact, and close consultation with implicated stakeholders.

In order to take full advantage of ICTs and improve their competitiveness in tourism markets, developing countries have to instill e business practices effectively among all stakeholders and integrate local tourism providers into DMSs.

Establishing structures to enable this ensures that different stakeholders have their say in how tourism is developed and managed and, in turn, are encouraged to reflect agreed priorities for tourism in their own work.

ICT, and in particular DMSs, can increase the participation and networking of all stakeholders, thereby helping to reduce leakages of tourism revenues.

In order to take full advantage of ICTs and improve their competitiveness in tourism markets, destinations in developing countries have to instill e business practices effectively among all stakeholders and integrate local tourism providers into DMSs.

Governments should make efforts to create an enabling environment for sustainable tourism by incorporating the principles of partnerships, decentralization and participatory decision making between all stakeholders.

By encouraging the development of e business practices in the local economy, ICTs make it easier for countries to organize their tourism industry and stimulate cooperation among stakeholders.
