Abstract :
Tourism presents quite an important industry that needs to evolve so that it confronts with the changes occurring on a global scale. In order for this to be possible a different approach should be followed regarding the provision of an integrated tourist product combining all the different characteristics of a tourist destination. Clustering of both tourist enterprises and other local enterprises affecting the overall tourist product could play an important role towards this direction. This paper presents such an approach leading to inter-enterprise integration through suitable semantics.
