“…This differs from some travellers who desire to be disconnected or unplugged from IT during travel (Janet E Dickinson, Hibbert, & Filimonau, 2016). For them, sharing travel experiences on social media platforms (Amaro & Duarte, 2017;Munar & Jacobsen, 2014) acts as a multi-functional role to maintain connectedness, and is enabled by collaborative and networking TEIS.…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the previously unexplored theoretical relationship between technology enabled information services (TEIS) and the value created by the use of such services. This paper presents a mixed virtual and multi-sited ethnography to provide a thick description of Chinese backpackers (CBs) use of TEIS. Participant observations and interviews of CBs in three different journeys within Europe were undertaken. Our findings illustrate that additional usage values occur when TEIS are used in a tourism context. Social influences and technical infrastructure play a stronger role than previous research presented. The study contributes to the literature by 1) providing a theoretical understanding of tourists' TEIS use; 2) documenting a study of a complete package of technologies used by CBs, and 3) proposing a research model which can be used for studying different TEIS use behaviour/patterns, and also in the design of TEIS for specific contexts.

“…Sylejmani, Dorn, and Musliu (2017) found that IT can better obtain personalized travel itineraries for group tourists. Social media also plays an important role in travelers' planning and decision making (Amaro & Duarte, 2017;Liu et al, 2017) or sharing of information (Munar & Jacobsen, 2014).…”

“…Otra de las áreas es la de turismo (Amaro;Duarte, 2017;Brogueira;Batista;Carvalho, 2016;Martínez-Rolán et al, 2019). Marques y Koven (2017) estudian el uso de un grupo de Facebook sobre la diáspora portuguesa en Francia; lo hacen desde una perspectiva que combina "el estudio de narrativas online como prácticas sociales y el estudio lingüístico antropológico de comunidades imaginadas" 2 (p. 286).…”

ResumenEste trabajo presenta un análisis de la bibliografía existente sobre redes sociales en Iberoamérica, con el objetivo de organizar las principales temáticas cubiertas, relevar sus hallazgos, y proponer caminos futuros de investigación. Las cuatro áreas temáticas que se destacan son: comunicación política y gobierno electrónico; periodismo y medios tradicionales; grupos sociales (incluyendo adolescentes y jóvenes, marginados, mujeres, empresarios e influencers, estudiantes, y adultos mayores) y áreas de uso (comercio, turismo, educación, salud, comunicación profesional); y participación política y cívica. Revisamos la bibliografía desde la perspectiva de las plataformas (Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, y Snapchat) y desde las regiones geográficas y países que componen Iberoamérica, para observar similitudes y diferencias. Concluimos con la mención y el análisis de los dos patrones más sobresalientes de las investigaciones: 1) tendencia a esperar por parte de las redes un potencial transformador que no necesariamente se comprueba, sobre todo para el caso de la comunicación política y el periodismo; 2) capacidad transformadora de las redes para sus aplicaciones en las áreas turismo, educación y salud, donde los medios tradicionales no se han caracterizado por tener un rol destacado. Finalmente, proponemos algunos caminos para estudios futuros, entre ellos la realización de trabajos comparativos, la incorporación de miradas relacionales en el tratamiento de las redes, la suma de metodologías mixtas, experimentales y computacionales, y la consideración, desde el diseño de investigación, de la aceleración del cambio tecnológico y de la necesidad de generar preguntas y conceptualizaciones capaces de sobrevivir al paso del tiempo. AbstractThis paper presents an analysis of the existing literature on social networks in Ibero-America, with the objective of organizing the main topics covered, highlighting findings, and proposing future research paths. The four thematic areas that stand out are political communication and electronic government; journalism and traditional media; social groups (including adolescents and young people, those marginalized, women, entrepreneurs and influencers, students, and older adults) and areas of use (including commerce, tourism, education, health, professional communication); and political and civic participation. In addition, we review the literature from the perspective of the platforms (Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat) and from the geographical regions and countries that make up Ibero-America, to observe similarities and differences. We conclude with the mention and analysis of the two most outstanding patterns of the studies examined: 1) a tendency to expect from the networks a transformative potential that is not necessarily proven, especially in the case of political communication and journalism; 2) transformative capacity El profesional de la información, 2020, v. 29, n. 1. eISSN: 1699-2407 2 of networks in the areas of tourism, ed...

“…However, the recent arrival of new typologies of non-tourism sharing economy platforms into the tourism industry has radically changed many processes. Among these, the process of searching for information has become more complex (David-Negre et al, 2018), and the experience of the customer as well as the post-trip experience have been re-designed with important implications for the tourism ecosystem (Amaro and Duarte, 2017). Consequently, destinations, tourism enterprises, tourists and residents will need to adapt their behaviours to face this new scenario (Sigala, 2015).…”
