Why is it important?
Tourism organizations function in an intensely dynamic and knowledge-based system of stakeholders and networks, and they are exposed to rapid and continuing environmental changes. Tourists generate knowledge in high volumes, share via social media, share, hold high volumes of tacit knowledge, and tourism organizations need to capture and implement KM.
Perspectives
