Abstract(s)
The developments occurring in recent years in the Information and Communication
Technologies led inevitably to a great effect on the operation, structure and strategy of
organizations around the world, and obviously also in the tourist sector organizations. With
the rapid expansion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) throughout
almost all aspects of tourism and hospitality industries, the task of integrating technology
into education curriculum will be a need. Information and Communication Technologies
appear one of the most critical area to the success of tourism in the future and the way it
will promote the tourist destinations. This paper aims to analyze the relevance given by the
various Portuguese and Spanish institutions of higher education to Information and
Communication Technologies in their degrees. The analysis carried out was done in degree
courses operating in this school year, 2012/2013, in Portuguese and Spanish universities
and polytechnics, public and private.
