This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes the effects of online social media on tourism websites. It studied over 19,000 Italian tourism websites over two years to analyze the relationship between total website visits and visits referred from Facebook and Twitter. The results showed a clear correlation, with Facebook responsible for up to 0.329% of visits and its contributions growing remarkably compared to total visits. While social media referrals were still low overall, the study confirms social networks influence tourism website popularity.
The document discusses the sociology of tourism. It begins by outlining the learning objectives which are to appreciate the social impacts of travel, recognize how local populations can resent visitors, discover how travel patterns change with life characteristics and social class, become familiar with social tourism, and understand travel preferences. It then defines sociology and the sociology of tourism. The rest of the document discusses the effects of tourism on individuals, families, society, and how travel patterns are related to age, income, education, and more. It also covers social tourism, barriers to travel, and dark tourism.
This document provides a summary of the regional needs analysis on the use of Web 2.0 applications in vocational education and training (VET) and adult training in the Piemonte region of Italy.
It finds that while ICT adoption is higher in Piemonte than other Italian regions, use of Web 2.0 tools in VET institutions is still low, at less than 20% for most organizations. However, interviews revealed strong interest from VET organizations in understanding how to use these tools for training. While most participants were familiar with common Web 2.0 technologies, their use of these tools was higher for personal activities than professional ones. The analysis identified a need for collaboration and knowledge sharing using Web 2.
Social network services like Facebook and Twitter are changing how the tourism industry operates and how travelers plan trips. Travelers now use social media to research destinations, get recommendations from friends, share travel experiences in real-time, and book travel arrangements. The tourism industry has recognized this shift and is increasingly using social media for marketing, customer service, and gathering consumer insights. A case study of Mahindra Homestays in India illustrates how one property has successfully adopted social media like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and YouTube to build its brand and engage with travelers.
How the Mobile Technologies and ICT-s in the Tourism Sector Affect the Social...inventionjournals
Travel today is an activity for millions of people around the world, not only directly related to tourism purposes, but for many other reasons. The past 20 years, the transport sector was significantly upgraded by providing convenience, speed and more facilities, in most cases with relatively low cost. Also, the tourism sector is heavily influenced by information technology and communication (ICT-s) as one of the tools that providers of tourism services are mainly used for marketing and sales purposes. One of the very important effects of tourism is to bring positive results in the social cohesion of the countries where is developed. But the phenomenon that is noticed nowadays is that people from different social groups like young people, elderly and people with disabilities are using ICT massively for planning their holidays, for being informed about the destination where they want to go, for bookings, reservations, payments etc. This article aims to show that the mobile technology and innovations in ICT-s in the tourism sector have positive effects on the social cohesion and the industry itself. Application producers for mobile equipments are providing innovative and practical services which have often very logical prices, attracting millions of users.
This document discusses approaches for delivering web content and services to mobile devices. It finds that mobile web usage is growing rapidly and will likely surpass desktop usage by 2015. Responsive web design, mobile-first approaches, and progressive enhancement can help optimize sites for multiple devices. Web apps and hybrid apps that use technologies like PhoneGap provide alternatives to native apps.
Web 2.0 technologies like user-generated content, social networks, and mobile applications are changing how tourists share and access travel information online. These technologies allow for more interactive experiences where users can author content, provide reviews and feedback, and collaborate with others. They also enable tourists to access travel data anywhere through mobile devices. Many tourism organizations and websites are now utilizing these Web 2.0 features to engage with travelers and promote destinations.

A framework for IoT-enabled environment aware traffic management IJECEIAES
Vehicular traffic has increased across all over the world especially in urban areas due to many reasons including the reduction in the cost of vehicles, degradation of the quality of public transport services and increased wealth of people. The traffic congestion created by these vehicles causes many problems. Increased environment pollution is one of the most serious negative effects of traffic congestion. Noxious gases and fine particles emitted by vehicles affect people in different ways depending on their age and present health conditions. Professionals and policy makers have devised schemes for better managing traffic in congested areas. These schemes suffer from many shortcomings including the inability to adapt to dynamic changes of traffic patterns. With the development of technology, new applications like Google maps help drivers to select less congested routes. But, the identification of the best route takes only the present traffic condition on different road segments presently. In this paper the authors propose a system that helps drivers select routes based on the present and expected environment pollution levels at critical points in a given area.

Broadband, inevitable innovation and developmentDr Lendy Spires
The document discusses how many innovations throughout history have been invented independently and simultaneously by different people due to enabling conditions existing at the time, rather than the genius of individuals. It argues that we are entering an era of "inevitable innovation" enabled by information and communication technologies (ICTs) like the Internet and mobile phones. ICTs contribute to innovation by providing access to global knowledge, enabling new applications and business models, and accelerating the spread of ideas. The rise of broadband networks in particular will further drive this inevitable innovation by connecting more people worldwide.

Editor's Notes
The maximum values for the contributions of FB and TW visits are recorded in the month of August 2010: FB = 0.329%; TW = 0.002%. When examining the series transformed into an index with the starting observation taken as base, TOT gets to 120 at the end of the period examined, while FB reaches 9438 and TW achieve 2280.
All the series show a marked seasonality with a peak in the summer months. This is typical of the Italian vacation patterns.
