Tourists’ demands are increasingly exigent in terms of quality product and environment. Thus, the tourism industry in the Balearic Islands depends on a preserved environment and on keeping local identity and quality of life (so-called Sustainable Development). Sustainable Development will be achieved after a process of effective communication and co-operation among the main actors of the tourism industry. The IST project SWAP (IST-2001-34103), financed by the EU, brought the opportunity to implement an effective and reliable knowledge-based network to enable communication and co-operation among the main players of the tourism industry in the Balearic Islands, as a supporting tool to direct current social and economical challenges towards Sustainable Development. In this chapter we will describe XAROP, a semantic and P2P based knowledge management solution developed in SWAP project to satisfy the requirements of the case study.
