eTourism is a phenomenon that has been closely linked to the growth of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and to understand the areas of tourism more than 30 years ago. The purpose of this study is to assess and examine theoretical framework of technology acceptance models to develop the eTourism Adoption Model (eTAM) in the context of Bangladesh. Mixed method research was applied for exploring the challenges and motivational factors for eTourism adoption. In order to propose the eTAM, this study investigated previous studies, theories of technology adoption and tourists’ expectations as the bases of literature review section to develop eTAM. The research then conducted in-depth interviews of the target respondents using a semi-structured questionnaire. Based on the literature review and in-depth interview outcomes, this study identified the factors of electronic Tourism Adoption Model (eTAM). eTAM provides a basic structure of tourists’ adoption of technologies to meet their demands and satisfaction. As believed, eTAM can support the concerned tourism agencies for policy making, demand and supply assessing, and guidelines for sustainable tourism development. Based on the outcome of this research, further study is recommended to measure the economic impacts of eTAM in Bangladesh and in the wider scenario of the South Asian countries.
The present research applied a novel approach for analyzing the impacts of tourism-related incomes within the whole of the local economy. The novelty of the analysis is given by the fact that the research was carried out on the basis of the district administrative units of the Northern Hungary region. The analysis examined the share of tourism-related incomes in the local economies of the respective districts. The results showed that tourism has an impact on the level of local development, but at a different level in the cease of the different settlements. The results furthermore implied that by itself, even well-developed tourism is not enough to guarantee local development. Local development depends on several different factors, and in the case of all other positive processes, tourism can contribute to the development level. According to the results, tourism has a multiplier effect: it has the most positive impact in locations where the whole economy is well developed-in these locations, tourism can significantly strengthen the already prospering economic processes.
