8. Role of automated information systems in the tourism industry

9. There are many roles, uses and functions of an automated information system. From a visitor information office point of view these will include the following: To collect, organize and analyze information To communicate ideas and information to others To plan and organize activities To solve problems To access information for a client

10. To collect, organize and analyze information :   There is such an enormous range of information available on so many different types of products and services within the tourism industry. t is impossible to remember every detail or even every product! Without a computer-based system, it is of course possible to collect the numerous brochures and printed information that every supplier in your destination produces and arrange the information in a storage area like a filing cabinet or storage room. If you know the filing system you can find the information reasonably easily. Once you have found what you are looking for you can then analyze it by reading it. Filing information, removing outdated information and cross-referencing takes enormous amounts of time and requires sustained effort and efficient processes.

11. Communicate ideas and information to others   Not all clients know the names of places or experiences they want information on. For instance, a client may want a list of all accommodation in your destination and the rates for a single room for each. By using an automated information system, you can find this information easily and provide it to the client. You can help the client to decide based upon the information and either provide them with a copy or make a booking for them based upon their choice. In addition, you can search the database on specific criteria other than price and location

12. Plan and organize activities Apart from providing information to clients you may be required to carry out several other activities in your office. For instance, you may need to assist in the production of the new destination brochure or prepare an itinerary for a group of visiting officials or prepare a presentation for a Rotary group. All these activities require planning and organizing and need to rely on accurate and timely information. An automated information system allows you to do this

13. Solve problems There may be many times when others require the assistance of your destination expertise. It could be the local council, a journalist, or another organization in the tourism industry. These organizations may contact you to help solve a problem.

14. Access information for a client Probably the most common use you will have for an automated information system is to access information for a client based upon their needs and wants. You may not have all the knowledge you would like on every product and service in the destination or simply may want to check that what you are saying is accurate. To do this you need to have access to an automated information system that can find what you are looking for quickly and efficiently.

15. B. Keyboard Shortcuts   These shortcuts work across many common programs and apps, including most Microsoft Office applications
