Computers play an important role in the travel and tourism industry. They are used extensively in three main sectors: transportation like air ticketing and train booking, accommodation like hotel booking, and attractions like sightseeing. Within these sectors, computers allow for online booking of air tickets, reservations, car rentals, finding hotels, and advertising attractions on social media and search engines. Computers have revolutionized how transportation, accommodation, and attractions are accessed in the tourism industry.
