Title
Tourism, Development and Digital Technologies - Insights from Malaysian Homestays.
Abstract
Rooted in the Sustainable Livelihood Approach, this paper contributes to the current debate on e-tourism for development by analysing the use of ICTs in community-based tourism micro enterprises. Using a qualitative case study approach with semi structured interviews, observations and documentary evidence, this study sheds light on the importance of ICTs in homestays and analyses its impact on the five livelihood assets (i.e. human, natural, financial, physical, social) as perceived by Malaysian homestay managers. Results indicate that there are significant direct and indirect impacts of ICTs on the livelihood assets of the community and open the floor for further research in the field.
