| Tiivistelmä: | The Internet as a new form of media is impacting tourist information (hereafter as: info.) provision and acquisition. Based on a general consumer behaviour theory by Berkman and Gilson (1986), this study examined the relationships btw. tourists' use of the Internet vs. other info. sources and their characteristics (here as: chars.). It was found that demographic chars. of gender and household income and situational factors of trip purpose and travel party type were significantly related to tourists' choices of info. sources, and such behaviour was associated with their trip outcomes of accommodation types and expenditure. |
