Web, social media and geolocation in tourism research and planning.

Abstract

In recent years, the revolution experienced by information and communication technologies, in addition to generating a large amount of information that sets us in a context of big data, has led to a paradigm change, where users become both producers of data and particularly geographic data, as each tablet, smartphone, etc., allows the generation of geolocated data. In addition to all this is the expansion of wireless internet networks, which allows real-time connection from virtually anywhere on the planet.
