The Role of Intranet in the Tourism Domain

The Intranet, the internal Internet, is perhaps the most important innovation in the last year. There are estimations that three quarters of the Web servers going up today are for internal corporate use. An Intranet is an internal corporate or organizational framework that uses Internet technologies to let employees browse and share electronic information remarkably easily. An Intranet is a private version of the Internet’s World Wide Web, but it is available only to people inside the organization. Over the next 12 or 18 months the real pay-back of typical business will come from using Intranet web sites to give employees the information they need to be more effective. [Gates 96]
