  • The book containing this chapter focuses on the role of networking, cooperation and partnership in destination management in response to the changing environment of the tourism industry. Firms and institutions are nowadays required to implement drastic management changes: they must adopt a systemic approach and become actively involved in formal and informal networks in order to increase efficiency and product quality, to gain a sustainable edge and face the competitive context. The work is dedicated to deepening the topics of the \"Networking and Tourism Local System\" session of the 12th ATLAS 2004 Annual Conference, \"Networking & Partnership in Destination Development & Management\", held in Naples. From a theoretical point of view, the papers included herein relate to two macro reference areas: applied economics and managerial sciences. The analysis range from national to local levels and focus on strategies, policies, and project experiences. Several cases from different areas (Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, Spain, Sweden) are examined and provide features and issues that can be applied beyond the cultural and economic contexts.

Abstract
  • The chapter is focused on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) dissemination in the tourism industry and their strategic value as tools to support destination management. Based on an economic-managerial approach to the destination management concept (section 2), this paper firstly analyses the determinants of rapid ICT dissemination in the tourism industry (section 3) to understand how ICT and multimedia technologies can support destination strategic marketing and management (section 4). In the near future, multimedia networks - universal and interactive link tools - will have a high development potential thanks to their effectiveness and flexibility. As an example of what was mentioned above, the project Campania in Pillole (section 5) is presented, a multimedia application to promote tourism in Campania, set up by IRAT-CNR with other Partners. The project developed a hardware and software prototype that, through Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS), enables tourists to access information - sites of interest, suggested routes, opening hours of museums - on the historical-artistic heritage in Campania. This example of multimedia application is a tool to enhance a specific tourism destination; it favours an inflow of resources made available directly on-line or subordinate to the physical movement of tourists. In the conclusion, the strategic role of technology is reiterated, viewed as a factor enabling aggregation amongst local stakeholders, products and services, and as a factor that may have an impact on the ways through which value is created for end users.
