3 Automated Information System
in the Tourism Industry
The tourism industry is one big consumer of information. Today, our clients
can access their own information and make bookings themselves using the Internet.
If they seek information from us they expect that we will provide information they
want in timely and accurate manner with the level of service they expect.
As professionals in the tourism industry we need to ensure that the
information we give to clients is: accurate, timely, relevant to their needs, and
sufficiently detailed to satisfy their needs.

What is It
Automated system allow you to monitor your processes in real time and
identify problems as they arrive, enabling quick adjustments along the way, while
manual system is difficult to coordinate , similar to the old cliché that “ rifht hand
doesn’t know what the left hand is doing” automated system works in tandem on
their own.
For instance, according to hotels, they could experience significant gains after
automating their inventory and procurement systems. First, there are big cost
savings and shorter fulfilment cycles. Second, hotels could experience significant
time savings that free up staff to do more client-centric functions that enhance the
5
overall business, third, an automated system could bring better accuracy because
staff members are no longer required to re-enter data from paper documents. This
dramatically reduces clerical errors. Fourth, automation would deliver an increased
ability to negotiate better deals with suppliers. In any negotiation, it’s essential to
know exactly how much volume of supply is needed, allowing the purchaser to more
accurately estimate volumes and purchase accordingly. The bottom line is that
informed buyers have more leverage.

to railway reservations and bus reservations in some markets, although these
are not always integrated with the main system. These are also used to relay
computerized information for users in the hotel industry, making reservation
and ensuring that the hotel is not overbooked.

Pricing a method adopted by a firm to set its selling price. It usually depends
on the firm's average costs, and on the customer's perceived value of the
product in comparison to his or her perceived value of the competing products.
Different pricing methods place varying degree of emphasis on selection,
estimation, and evaluation of costs, comparative analysis, and market
situation. See also pricing strategy.

Reap town is a popular tourist destination in Cambodia, mainly owing to its
proximity to the Angkor temples. The Loire valley, the third tourist destination
in France, is a good example of a region marketed and branded as a place for
tourists to visit, mainly known for its Châteaux of the Loire valley.
A tropical island resort is an island or archipelago that depends on tourism
as its source of revenue. The Bahamas in the Caribbean, Bali in Indonesia,
Phuket in Thailand, Hawaii in the United States, Fiji in the Pacific, and
Santorini and Ibiza in the Mediterranean are examples of popular island
resorts.

Visa information
A Philippine Visa is an endorsement made on a travel document by a consular
officer at a Philippine Embassy or Consulate abroad denoting that the visa
application has been properly examined and that the bearer is permitted to
proceed to the Philippines and request permission from the Philippine
Immigration authorities at the ports of entries to enter the country.
The visa thus issued is not a guarantee that the holder will be automatically
admitted into the country, because the admission of foreign nationals into the
Philippines is a function of the immigration authorities at the port of entry.

Product information
Product information management (PIM) is the process of managing all the
information required to market and sell products through distribution
channels. This product data is created by an internal organization to support
a multichannel marketing strategy. A central hub of product data can be used
to distribute information to sales channels such as e-commerce websites,
print catalogs, marketplaces such as Amazon and Google Shopping, social
media platforms like Instagram and electronic data feeds to trading partners.

Use the words likely to appear on the pages you want; i.e.—Singapore Car
Hire; Brunei cheap hotels
Avoid using a question as a query. For example, the query ‘Does Hanoi have
a Hilton Hotel’ instructs the search engine to find all these words. Such a
query won’t necessarily find pages answering your question. A better, or more
effective, query may be ‘Hanoi Hilton Hotel’

When a search engine registers common words such as ‘where’, ‘do’, ‘I’, ‘for’
and ‘a’ it ignores them so that the engine can return more targeted results
• Register for automated check-in via our Service Centre (+32 (0)2 723 23 62 -
local tariff) or your travel agent and let them know whether you would like to
receive your boarding pass by SMS link or by e-mail (printable PDF file or mobile
boarding pass).
• Seating: If you haven’t already chosen a seat during your booking, we will assign
one for you. If you would like to change it, simply click on the seat number on

your boarding pass, and you will be able to choose a new one online or via
mobile.
• When travelling to certain countries, Additional Passenger Information (API) is
required. You will be asked to provide this information when you book your
flight. In case the API data is missing from your booking, automated check-in
will not be possible, and we will send you a notification instead.
Airports
Automated border control systems (ABC) or eGates are automated self-service
barriers which use the data stored in the chip in biometric passports to verify the
user's identity. Travellers undergo biometric verification using face, fingerprint, iris
recognition or a combination of modalities. After the identification process is
complete, a physical barrier such as a gate or turnstile opens to permit passage. E-
gates came about in the mid-2000s as an automated method of reading the newly
ICAO mandated e-passports.
All eGate systems require an e-passport that's machine readable. Some countries
permit only specific nationalities to use the automated border crossing systems, e.g.
EU/EEA/Swiss/UK citizens or USA/CAN/JPN passport bearers, etc. For all other
nationalities, citizens must go to immigration officers to be questioned and then have
their passport stamped. They come in different configurations, including a gate,
kiosk and gate, or mantrap kiosk.
In the gate configuration, an incoming passenger places their passport data page
either on or under a scanner, looks at a camera that will take a live picture to
compare to the picture in the passport, and walks through a set of barriers that will
open if the citizen's identity is verified. At either the passport scan or photo stage, if
either identity cannot be verified or a malfunction happens, an immigration officer
will step in at that point. Fingerprint and/or iris scans can also be taken depending
on the system. The process is the same for departing passengers. [2]
In the kiosk and gate configuration, a passenger approaches a kiosk for a facial,
finger and passport scan. They then proceed to a set of doors and pass through using
their fingerprint.
In the mantrap kiosk configuration, a passenger walks through a first set of barriers
to a kiosk for a facial, finger and passport scan. They then proceed out through a
second set of barriers.
The number of e-gate units deployed globally is expected to triple from 1,100 in 2013
to more than 3,200 in 2018, according to a 2014 report by Acuity Market Intelligence.
Most e-gates have been deployed in airports in Europe, Australia and Asia.
You might know the United States’ country code is US, but did you
know the country code for the United Kingdom was GB?
Just like North America, the continent of Europe is full of country
codes. These codes work to make paperwork a lot easier, since you
10
don’t have to write out the full name for every country. The
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) publishes these
codes, which come in 2-letter and 3-letter formats.
The two-letter codes (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) abbreviate the country
name into two easy-to-identify letters. The two-letter codes are what
is commonly used by the European Union (EU).
The three-letter codes (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3) break each country
down into three letters. These codes, like airport codes, are typically
used by the United Nations, among other organizations.
Now that you know how the codes are broken down, we will look
at the different codes for countries in the 27 countries of the
European Union along with other countries on the European
continent.
You might know the United States’ country code is US, but did you

Now that you know how the codes are broken down, we will look
at the different codes for countries in the 27 countries of the
European Union along with other countries on the European
continent.
While the European Union might commonly use the ISO alpha-2
codes, it’s important to look at both types when discussing EU
country codes. Review the 2-letter and 3-letter country codes for the
EU in alphabetical order by country. And, just so all your country
codes are covered, you’ll find the country calling codes too!
