Abstract

ABSTRACT With the growing amount of travel-related information available on the Internet and the increasing significance of search in the travel planning process, understanding travelers' search patterns can provide useful insights into developing systems that effectively address travelers' information needs.

The results of this study offer important implications for destination marketing with an emphasis on destination website development.
