信息通信技术（ICT）的快速发展和互联网的扩展改变了世界各地的产业结构。新技术在欧美的旅游业中已经应用了30多年，这一趋势很可能会持续到未来。中国作为亚洲快速发展的发展中国家，以其历史和文化吸引力在国际旅游市场上越来越重要。随着人口开始出国旅游，它也正在成为一个蓬勃发展的旅游来源国。本研究探讨了ICT和互联网如何逐步改变中国的旅游产业结构，这种变化的重要性，以及这种变化将导致中国的旅游业。这项探索性研究是根据从几个旅游组织，如航空公司，酒店，旅游经营者，旅游景点和中国旅游当局收集的信息进行的。
The fast development of information communication technologies (ICTs) and the expansion of the Internet have changed industry structures around the world. New technologies have been adopted in the tourism industry in Europe and America for more than 30 years, and the trend is likely to continue into the future. China, as a fast-growing developing country in Asia, is gaining importance in the international tourism market for its historical and cultural attractiveness as a destination. It is also becoming a booming tourism source country as its population starts travelling overseas. This study examines how the ICT and Internet gradually change the tourism industry structure in China; how important such changes are, and to where such changes will lead China's tourism industry. This exploratory research is conducted based on information collected from several tourism organisations, such as airlines, hotels, tour operators, visitor attractions and the tourism authorities within China.
