“…• the topic of the benefits brought by the use of digital tools: has interested many studies in order to investigate whether the use of new technologies can contribute to business development (Martini 2001, O'Toole et al 2007, Pencarelli 2015, Popescu 2018, Fyfe 2020); • the topic of Web 2.0 evolution, analysing whether the advent of social networks has contributed to the development of the market approach typical of small businesses (Badrinathan, 2006, Antonioli Corigliano & Baggio, 2011, Tuten & Solomon, 2012, Bizirgianni & Diony-sopoulou 2013, Valeri 2018, Pachucki et al 2022.…”

“…To succeed, companies in the sector must create a web strategy that considers interaction, sharing and listening, which are necessary to retain their customers (Antonioli Corigliano & Baggio, 2011). Valeri (2018) emphasises how the advent of the sharing economy has contributed to supplementing the conventional tourism offer with new proposals, enriching and diversifying the options available to the consumer. The sector as a whole has benefited, not only because of the emergence of countless new digital-oriented operators but because the competitive pressure has also stimulated many traditional players to reinvent their offerings and take up the challenge of innovation, through direct investments or by developing partnerships with platforms.…”

Purpose: The digital revolution is causing profound transformations, characterised by how companies and customers approach the market, helping to significantly transform the tourism sector. Traditionally, the Internet was used to search for timetables, find information and compare prices, or book basic tourist products. Today, thanks to Web 2.0, people can create their own trips by following the advice and examples of other users on the Net who have shared the contents of their tour and expressed opinions on their own travel experience. The study aims to investigate how small accommodation enterprises use their website for marketing following the development of Web 2.0, which differs from the initial concept of the Internet because it departs from the classic static websites. Study design/methodology/approach: After the analysis of the literature, which relates to the relationship that has gradually developed over the years between small businesses in the tourism sector and the use of the Internet for marketing purposes, it was decided to carry out an empirical survey on a sample of websites of small Italian hotels. The research hypothesis is that website adoption is conditioned by the marketing communication of the tourist experience that favours interactive tools. Sixty websites of micro-enterprises with less than thirty rooms were analysed, revealing an important use of social media for marketing communication. Findings: The research results show that small hotel enterprises present a limited use of the website, limited to the web presence, while the customer relationship is managed through social networks. Originality/value: This work is believed to provide useful ideas for starting a more substantial study activity in the field of small accommodation to understand the reasons behind the low use of the website.
