Does social media and internet based information sources along with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs and lots of more influence our decision on where we travel to and the way we share our experiences with others

The evolution of the net and the internet are major factors of the changes within the tourism and travel industries and inside the ways that tourists purchase and experience travel.

In an effort to appreciate tourist social media adoption in technology, a contemporary article published in Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism: ‘Trust and Involvement in Tourism Social Media and Web-Based Travel Information Sources’, that’s free to view online until 31st September 2013, investigates how Scandinavian holiday makers staying in Mallorca, Spain use social media and the web to make decisions on what to tour and the way they share their experiences.
