Abstract
This article explores the research corpus emerging through the application and interaction of information and communications technologies (ICT) with tourism. The purpose is to place such research within current perceptions of this overall ICT area, giving a framework through which to position a perspective and to offer both the prospect of a rational foundation and a catalyst for further applied research—a research agenda.
