Abstract
A distribuição turística reconhece nos drivers da economia digital um efeito incentivador da produtividade e
da rendibilidade, conduzindo a vantagens competitivas sustentáveis. O grande poder da Internet e a desregulamentação
de alguns sectores económicos, veio revolucionar os conceitos de negócio, os processos organizacionais e sobretudo a
gestão das cadeias de valor e de oferta das agências de viagens. Este enquadramento facilitou a génese de um arquétipo
de agências de viagens, que designaremos por “Agências de Viagens do Futuro”, dominado por modelos organizacionais
virtuais resilientes e por inovadores Travel Recommender Systems. O objectivo desta investigação, consistiu em avaliar
o nível de utilização das TICs nas agências de viagens e conhecer o grau de sofisticação / interactividade dos serviços
disponíveis no front-office e nos seus sites, de modo à sua classificação como agências de viagens do futuro.
