The findings indicatethat tourism SMEs make use of informal marketing information systems which concentrate on immediateoperating data at the expense of external data, and that the Internet has not yet been recognized as an importantsource for marketing intelligence despite having the benefits of providing much of the necessary data for gooddecision- making more quickly and at a lower cost compared with many other sources. The study identifiesobstacles and challenges that reduce the uptake of the Internet, and suggests practical solutions.
