Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 263))

Abstract

Digitization changes business processes and enterprise architectures in many sectors. In the Tourism sector more and more data must be analyzed and integrated into business processes. Therefore, the current architecture must be changed to a more flexible, data-driven one. Besides the basements of current Tourism application, we investigate which scenarios are possible via data-centered platforms in Tourism and how this transformation can be done.
