Finally I decided the question for my dissertation ‘From the Consumer’s Perspective: Given 21st Century Technology, Are High Street Travel Agents a Thing of the Past? Because from reviewing the academic literature and journal articles about the topic, I discovered that most previous researches focused to deal the impact of internet on travel agents from the customer relations management (CRM) and the operational issues related to travel business but few searched the topic from the consumers side which I believe is the main mover for the whole tourism and travel industry. I also decided to focus my research on the British travel business context.

New Idea

Hi Vendullita,
I am thinking to change my idea from Tourism and Climate Change to a new topic, honestly i am interested more to write something about Travel agents and tour operators as my previous experience was related with travel agents..so my question is
WITH THE 21Th CENTURY TECHNOLOGY. ARE THE HIGH STREET TRAVEL AGENTS ON THEIR WAY TO DISAPPEAR?????

Tourism and Climate Change

Hello
I decided to change the name of my blog from tourism and globalisation of the world to tourism and climate change. Because I think the new issue that tourism experts need to deal with and need to discuss is the climate change and its affect in the tourism industry, I am thinking to write my dissertation about climate change and the future of the airlines industry as the number of people who is more concerned about their carbon foot print led to a change in the marketing strategies of the different airlines to deal with the raising environmental concerns. Of course all of that will in return effect the travel and tourism industry. However the question of the dissertation is still not very clear to me…..

Globalisation and Tourism

Hi James,
I hope all going well with you, actually globalisation is very intersting subject Because globalisation led to a change in the language of the culture of all the world, and made tourism as a part from the people's culture, the new trends that globalisation put in place which I believe that they created more experienced tourist and with more sophisticated needs because the media and the different new technologies gave the tourist the opportunity to know more about destination that thousands of miles from her/his home country
