The Role of Tourism Information Systems in Developing Tourism Activities: The Case of the Wilaya of Bordj Bou Arreridj – Algeria

Abstract

: Through this research paper, we've tried to highlight the importance of the availability of information and data in tourism activities for the various related actors, including consumers, producers and public authorities, and then we’ve seen the most important uses of information and communication tools in tourism activities, especially those related to the Internet, which can be an effective tool for creativity, innovation, and creating new ways in designing tourism services and ways of presenting them to customers and consumers, and also in helping in managing and following up the tourism service . In the same context, we discussed tourism information systems and their various components, which are considered as an effective tool that allows collecting, storing, organizing, analyzing and displaying various information and data related to tourism activities at the level of a tourist destination or at the level of a specific tourist activity. Finally, we tried to design a digital website that can be a basic basis for building a tourist information system for the Algerian wilaya of Bordj Bou Arreridj, which could be a distinguished tourist destination compared to the tourism resources it possesses.
