Abstract: Tourism contribution, to both the Gross World Product formation and global employment level, transforms it into one of the global economy’s most important and dynamic components. Over time, technological changes have strongly influenced the development of this sector, permanently revolutionizing the way touristic experience is perceived. Starting with the development of air transport and continuing with the way hotels and restaurants are built and with the innovative electronic devices used to streamline their economic activity and to improve their guests’ experience, the evolution of technology has continuously offered new perspectives to tourism. Nowadays, the world’s fastest growing industry is marked by a transition from the offline to the online environment, which makes it even more competitive and capable of offering outstanding and unique experiences to tourists.
