Since 2000 this initiative has provided the tourism industry with predominantly free access to overall data and functions of TourMIS (registration is required).
TourMIS is open to all authorized tourism organizations, societies, tourism consultants, companies, tourism training centres, pressure groups, etc. in Austria and abroad. By covering the maintenance costs, a consortium of the most important initiators of market research projects in Austria and Europe guarantee the continuous updating of the comprehensive database.
The programme modules contained in the method-base are developed according to the specific requirements of tourism managers at the Department of Tourism and Service Management at Modul University Vienna led by Prof. Dr. Karl Wöber.
The development of TourMIS is financially supported by the Austrian National Tourist Office and the European Travel Commission.
