Welcome to ISY00244 Technological Systems for Hotels, Conventions and Events.

Tourism, hotel, and events management can be described as an ‘information industry’, and, as such, the dynamic relationship between tourism and information technology systems is a vital one. Current interest focuses on the Internet and e-commerce. In this subject we will not only explore the impacts of online technologies, but also look at a range of other information systems, particularly those used ‘in-house’ in the tourism, travel and accommodation sectors, and events industry. There will be a balance between studying management implications and learning about implementation of some common information technology systems.
