Abstract: Global tourism is one of the first sectors to be digitized. The era of digitization attracts new prospects for improving tourism services, both from the perspective of promoting tourist destinations and facilitating commercial exchanges between participants. The analysis is carried out for the European Union, in this paper I want to present the evaluation of the impact of online activities on tourist activities, through a panel econometric analysis, the data being reported on the percentage of people aged between 16-74 years who used the Internet in the last three months. Following the analysis, the methods used show the existence of a connection, of an appreciable intensity, between the two aspects studied, a fact that leads to more elaborate research in the future, given the dynamics of the two phenomena.
