“…They can express their experience in the form of blogs and through it they can communicate with the other travelers (Pudliner, 2007).

Data collection was done from Online Travel Portals and 379 foreign tourists using varied scales to determine their comprehensive perceived experience, technology adoption perception, the bottlenecks encountered and the ability to adapt while selecting online travel portals.

Hotels booked through Online Travel Portals are sometimes not up to the mark and quality is a major bottleneck Online Travel Portals felt that expected tour components by the business travelers was the most problematic factor for them. Another problem was the unfavourable payment terms with the suppliers as well as non-availability of right accommodation demanded by the business travelers. Another bottleneck included not meeting the special needs of Business Travelers.

“…Despite the popularity of using cameras during travel and extensive research on tourist behavior, few investigators have analyzed photographs in order to understand students' perceptions on field trips (Xie, 2004). Berger, Dittenbach, Denk, Pesenhofer and Merkl (2007) employed a profiling technique based on photograph selection and suggested that the travel motives of knowledge acquisition and exploitation were the most important factors in sharing the travel experience. There exists a significant relationship between tourist types and their willingness to keep travel diaries and compile photo albums.…”

This article explores the concept of "novelty space" proposed by Orion and Hofstein (1994) and analyzes U.S. undergraduate students' photographs taken during a 9-week educational field trip. The original novelty space was composed of geographic, psychological, and cognitive domains. This study proposes to incorporate social novelty space as part of the field trip. The self-administered photo spreadsheets, interviews, and survey were completed by student participants. The findings suggest that photographs serve as a behavioral proxy for geographic and cognitive domains but were less evident for psychological and social novelty spaces.
