Abstract

Native tourism as an individual and non-institutionalized, non-formalized form of exploring the world belongs to the modern trends of tourism development, including sustainable tourism, ethnic tourism or slow tourism. This type of tourism has, among other things, designed to promote the economic development of local communities and refers to the policy of pro-poor tourism. Tools commonly used in e-tourism became also useful for native tourist services. The combination of these two trends in tourism: native tourism and e-tourism, may become the basis for the development of online information systems within native e-tourism. Such systems, from their nature, could help in the realization of individual and qualified tourists’ needs and interests as well as in facilitating the dissemination of offers by local suppliers of various, niche types of tourist services. The article is a key study and describes the concept of the Native E-Tourism and its relation to other forms of sustainable tourism. It also shows principles of the ETNOS portal - one of the pioneer Internet portals in native e-tourism that helps in diffusion of a not new but modified concept in tourism.
