title: The use of ICTs in Redirecting Travel Patterns of Tourists
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This paper uses the concept ‘venturesomeness’ from Plog (2002) to incorporate ICTs in redirecting the travel patterns of tourists in the Netherlands to ease busy touristic hotspots. A questionnaire was conducted among international tourists in Utrecht to investigate how this can best be applied. Strategies to distribute tourism should both be aimed at the planning phase of the trip and during the stay at the destination. Personalized suggestion using ICTS should be offered. These include information provision in different languages and suggestions of destinations outside of busy hotspots. Moreover, ‘venturers’ will influence via social media other tourists to make the same trips as they have done. It is important to note that these conclusions are based on a small dataset. Therefore, further research has to be done using a larger dataset.
