6.10 PROMOTING THE INTEGRATION OF ICT IN TOURISM, ENVIRONMENT &
NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Travel and tourism as a sector constitutes one of the economic pillars of global trade;
this includes both wildlife and non-wildlife based tourism. Over the recent past, Zambia
has positioned herself well in the global tourism market. By its very nature, the
tourism sector is well suited for the integration and application of ICTs, which
potentially can enhance marketing of tourism products and services; increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of transactions and service delivery as well as providing
Zambian enterprises with access to international tourism markets. However, largescale ICT projects may impact negatively on the environment, natural resources and
heritage. Therefore, protection and conservation measures need to be taken into
account alongside the developments in ICT.
