ABSTRACT

The major shift in the international travel industry business strategies is attributable to the progress of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Conversely, the capability of Tour Operators to remain in the travel industry, regardless of the fast changes in ICT, has become a current debateable issue. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to determine the type of ICT adoption patterns among Tour Operators in the Central Region of Malaysia. Descriptive research designs were employed using questionnaire as the data collection method. Predefined questionnaires were distributed to Tour Operators through random sampling, via online surveys and face-to-face, located in Wilayah Persekutuan and Selangor, Malaysia. SPSS software application assists in data analysis process. The result reveals the types of ICTs adopted by Tour Operators in the Central Region of Malaysia according to the five categories of ICT adoption.
