Abstract:
A number of studies have researched the effects of tourism on transportation system, hotel industry, economic efficiency and environment. This paper examines the influence of the information and communication technologies development on the inbound tourism intensity. The correlation and regression analysis has been used to identify the relationship between the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index, the Information and Communication Technology Development Index and International tourism arrivals. The results demonstrate that there is a close link between the countries’ tourist attractiveness and the level of their information and communication development. However, it is not equal for different countries, which are grouped by the level of intensity of tourism arrivals, the level of the country’s attractiveness and its information and communication technologies development. Besides, the country’s information and communication technologies development has little effect on the inbound tourism intensity.
