Software is believed to be increasingly the prima donna of today's computerized era. This is because the world is getting easier to reach with digital assistance, which is becoming more and more trendy. Tech is lagging in travel business activities. Many tourism business people are now increasingly interested in conducting their tour promos online to quickly increase local tourism products' marketing to the international market. So to ensure correctness, we have undertaken a practical study with literature reviews and travel publications. We prioritize the latest literature between 2015 and 2021, considering that the digital world is changing rapidly. To get valid and convincing results, we choose a coding analysis system, in-depth evaluation so that the conclusions we get an answer to this study's problems. Because this study relies on current data from searches from Google doc data, ERIC publications, Google scholarships, and other data sources is the main source. With the consideration of the existing literature, we conclude that now tourism actors in many countries are increasingly using digital applications in marketing tourism products in the world market share. Hopefully, this finding will provide meaningful input for all parties engaged in the tourism sector.

“…In addition, the citation activities (citing and being cited) provide directional information between the publications, revealing what knowledge is codified and diffused dynamically (Lucio-Arias & Leydesdorff, 2008; Small & Griffith, 1974). As a result, the citation relations have been widely investigated to trace the research progress in different academic fields (Chuang et al, 2017; Ho, Liu, & Chang, 2017; Liang et al, 2016; Lu & Liu, 2014; Xiao et al, 2014). Although some scholars point out that citations between publications may not accurately reflect the process of knowledge diffusion (Alcacer & Gittelman, 2006; Roach & Cohen, 2012), citation is recognized as one of the best measurements available due to the lack of alternative and comparable methods (Nelson, 2009; Orazbayev, 2017; Roach & Cohen, 2012).…”

“…In specific, the main path analysis converts the binary correlation matrix of a citation network to a weighted matrix by computing the traversal counts that capture the times a link has been passed through by all the possible routes from all sources to all sinks. To date, scholars have preferred the search path count to measure the traversal counts (Batagelj, 2003; Chuang et al, 2017; Liang et al, 2016; Lu & Liu, 2016). For example, in Figure 3, all the possible routes from the sources (A and B in Figure 3) to the sinks (X, Y, and Z in Figure 3) are AZ, AFZ, BDFZ, BDEZ, BDY, BDEY, BCY, and BCX.…”

This article integrates social network analysis and main path analysis to investigate progress in megaproject management (MPM) from the perspective of knowledge diffusion. After measuring three major knowledge diffusion paths of MPM, the authors find that MPM is mainly driven by a set of problems and puzzles. The findings provide an exciting opportunity to advance existing understanding of MPM from an alternative angle of knowledge diffusion that considers the underlying associations among publications. Moreover, this article employs quantitative methods to examine citation data of publications, thus providing more unbiased and in-depth analysis to illustrate the development of MPM.

“…To facilitate a better understanding of e-commerce, hospitality and tourism researchers have shown the importance of establishing content-rich and user-friendly websites (Law and Hsu, 2006). Research on websites, blogs, and social media on tourism is experiencing accelerated growth, which hints that there is a pendulum shift whereby the information and negotiation power asymmetry between the supply and demand sides are moving from provider-centric to consumer-centric (Chuang et al, 2017). The existing literature has a very limited number of published articles that investigated the users’ perceptions on booking websites, on the importance of the implemented specific features (Beritelli and Schegg, 2016; Xiang et al, 2017).…”

Nowadays, the tourists increasingly prefer to plan their travels using online search engines, to the detriment of classical travel agencies. A well-designed and well-managed booking website can satisfy the tourists’ needs, whereas a less intuitive one can make them dissatisfied. The search engine developers cannot develop an effective and efficient booking website which satisfies the users’ needs, creates a favorable experience for them, and influences their intention to purchase, without understanding the users’ needs regarding the search engines attributes and features. This study applies a quantitative research, collects primary data, and investigates how booking websites can move from a basic to a sophisticated online presence. The aim of the analysis is to provide an insight regarding the tourists’ preferences and their interface needs, as well as the filters and the options that may help them find the most relevant results for the chosen destinations. The study develops a comprehensive performance evaluation model for booking websites using specific attributes and features of the tourism industry. This model includes usability and functionality dimensions that have been identified by analyzing six booking websites, three used at the international level (Booking, Priceline, and Hotwire) and three used only in Romania (Vola, Infoturism, and Carta), and correlated with the customers’ needs regarding booking websites and hotel website evaluation. The results are useful for booking website developers and can be used to adapt their user interfaces, making them far more user-friendly. Suggestions are made regarding how to improve the performance of booking websites and potential ways for future research are discussed.
