Sustainable consumption in tourism integrates sustainability issues in the selection of destinations and service providers and in the tourists' behaviour during their stay at the destination.

Tourism niches such as ecotourism one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry are increasingly promoted by DMOs in many developing countries, allowing them to diversify their tourism offer.

Tourism development Plans to provide all necessary tourism services

The main beneficiaries of a DMS are potential travelers, the providers of tourism products and services, national travel agents and outbound travel agents, national tourism institutions, IT providers and investors.

They should create awareness of the potential of e tourism and provide incentives for the development of tourism enterprises' websites (for hotels, for instance) that could be referenced on the DMO e tourism website.

Government policies can encourage tourism distribution channels to give preference to sustainable tourism products by providing training to destination management organizations and tourism boards, developing industry driven standards and supply chain management approaches, educating the public on certification schemes and promoting travel fairs that focus on sustainable products.

Meanwhile, there are only a handful of online tour companies and traditional travel agencies that develop proprietary products for self drive travel. Many online travel platforms only sell self drive travel products provided by some suppliers. Some self drive travel clubs are also key suppliers.

In order to market their tourism products efficiently, destination and tourism providers should keep abreast of technological developments and standards.

The distribution of tourism products on the Internet complements traditional distribution channels (travel agents, national tourism offices, tourism producers, call centers, etc.) because a large number of DMOs do not yet have the capacity to develop an effective e tourism website and cannot rely only on uncertain online revenues.

Business models should provide technological, financial and marketing solutions for the providers and users of the DMS, namely tourism providers (accommodation, transport and leisure companies), travel agents, tour operators, and consumers.

According to the Secretary General of that organization, certain products ... are emerging today which will dominate the market tomorrow, such as nature and ecotourism products, cruises, water sports, and tourism in the polar region .94 Among the most popular tourism items for people looking for something new are thought to be tourist submarines, tours to Antarctica, and cruises.

Today's online tourism is a very dynamic market, and the number of providers, both generalists and niche players, is rapidly increasing.

However, new technology has allowed other non traditional providers of tourism services such as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo to enter the distribution market for tourism services and become providers of e tourism.

Eco tourism, cultural and natural heritage tourism, health and medical tourism and adventure tourism are some of the tourism niches that are increasingly marketed by destinations and tourism enterprises in developing countries.

They facilitate the linkages between local tourism providers and help them manage their tourism resources and contribute to their valorization.

More recently, the Internet began to provide a platform for suppliers to gain direct access to customers and offered cost reductions through the disintermediation of travel agents and operators.

Many service stations carry the brand of one of the oil majors (BP, Shell, Mobil, etc.) others carry the brand of secondary marketers, while still others carry the brand of a distributor and some carry their operators' own brand or no brand at all.

This constitutes both an opportunity and a challenge for tourism providers.

Consideration of the full arc of the consumer travel lifecycle should also be a central part of any tourism e tourism strategy, comprising in country travel and post travel follow up.

A key point to bear in mind is that e tourism websites serve a dual function to provide information for visitors to aid in planning their trip and to advertise and sell tourism products once the visitors are already at the destination.

Developing countries' target tourism markets are likely to be organizing their travel arrangements online.

The tourism business, however, expects a certain level of quality and reliability in the services available in the protected areas.
