Mobile solutions in E-Tourism for Pro-Poor initiatives?

I am currently in Kerala, India, conducting research (as part of my Information Science Master's degree thesis) on E-Tourism possibilities for pro-poor / sustainable tourism initiatives in Wayanad district. The primary question in this research is "how can we use ICTs to enable and support sustainable tourism?"



At the moment I'm looking into possibilities for mobile solutions as well, such as SMS messaging.

Interesting question Sander, I look forward to seeing what responses you get.
Would you be interested to feature CBT in Kerala on Asian Encounters?

Sander,
I missed your comment on the chat facility regarding where to add a research question. Suggest to post it as a blog, under the "Quick Add" drop down list close to the top right corner of each page.

Dear Roger,

Thank your for your reply.

I'm sorry, I could have been a bit clearer on my purposes. I'll be visiting Kerala for my study (probably during February/March) gathering requirements for the development of an E-platform for supporting pro-poor tourism in this area. During my pre-research I stumbled upon this website, I'm still exploring it, but it looks interesting already! If you have any thoughts regarding the subject, feel free to share them!

Kind regards,

Sander

Well, I'm trying to bring homestay operators into touch with their market, and vice versa, as well as generally promoting the concept of pro-poor community based tourism. If you're a traveller, it would be good to hear of your experiences staying in village communities...
