Abstract

The development of Internet technology has not only influenced tourism and hospitality operations, but also provided new research opportunities for scholars. The last decade has witnessed the continuous growth in publications of website development conducted in the context of tourism and hospitality in China. After reviewing these studies, this research found that in line with relevant research in other countries, scholars in the context of China also examined two main topics of website evaluation and Internet users’ perceptions of either websites of tourism organizations or third party websites (e.g. blogs, video sharing websites). In addition, content analysis and questionnaire survey were the main data collection method. Some issues of concern were also identified as inconsistency existed between studies in an earlier stage and those conducted in more recent stage.
