Abstract
Nowadays, tourists have access to a lot of different web sites in order to find information about destinations. This has a direct impact on tourism destination management organizations and tourism providers. These stakeholders have a lot of problems in order to find reliable and up-todate information about their destinations. This paper presents an innovative solution that helps to promote tourism destinations through an intelligent, reliable and comprehensive content management platform that integrates different online heterogeneous and distributed information sources. This platform is described and validated in two different scenarios: “Portal Destino 3.0”, a tourism portal managed by a public organization and “Mi Guia Multidestino”, a personalized online web travel guide.
