Abstract: Indonesia is a
nation that ethnically and culturally unique and diverse. It has potentials to
leverage the growth of its tourism sector. The sector has become important to
boost not only regional and also nation-
wide economic development. It can be growth further to a much larger scale by
effectively utilising the pervasiveness of the information and communication
technology (ICT). For example, ICT may facilitate the growth with e- tourism,
which is an Internet-based marketing method. This work intends to understand
the potential of using e-tourism and its effects on the development of the
sector. Specifically, the study evaluates how the aspects of marketing, business, and e-tourism are
affected by the use of ICT and how they affect the growth of the tourism
industry. A multivariate regression model is constructed to assess the case
quantitatively. The empirical model suggests that the e-tourism may contribute
