One country that relies heavily on the Tourism Industry but is slow to adopt e-Business technology is Thailand. The Thai Government is trying to push the tourism sector to adopt these new technologies to reinvigorate and advance the industry. Basing tourism industry on the Internet is key to keep up with other countries. If Thailand doesn`t they will see a dramatic decrease in tourists.
To improve tourism the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has introduced http://thai.tourismthailand.org. On this site, would-be visitors need to enter details such as destination zones, type of travel, the number of days for the trip, the number of tourists and a total budget. In turn, the site will search the TAT directory and come up with a tentative plan for the trip. This is an ingenious system that will improve the e-Business situation for Thailand, helping to lure more tourists to the country.
Thailand is on the right path, but still has a long way to go to implement and update this new e-Business technology. Implementation will not take place overnight- it will take extensive amounts of time, training and money but in the end the initiative will bring more people to the country to explore the spectacular beaches, dramatic temples, and the meet the beautiful Thai people.
