什么是酒店網(wǎng)絡(luò)營銷產(chǎn)生的背景和概念？
    互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是20世紀(jì)最偉大的發(fā)明之一。隨著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)科技和電子商務(wù)的迅猛發(fā)展，人們的工作、生活已離不開網(wǎng)絡(luò)，網(wǎng)上交易和網(wǎng)上購物顛覆了傳統(tǒng)的思維和經(jīng)營模式。人們借助網(wǎng)絡(luò)不僅提高了工作效率，同時也提高了生活質(zhì)量。網(wǎng)絡(luò)成為當(dāng)今社會生活不可或缺的內(nèi)容。
    根據(jù)中國互聯(lián)網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息中心（CNNIC）公布的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)顯示，截至2009年年底，我國網(wǎng)民規(guī)模已達(dá)到3.84億，與2008年年底相比增長8600萬，年增長率達(dá)到28.9%，網(wǎng)民數(shù)量進(jìn)一步創(chuàng)造歷史新高。網(wǎng)站數(shù)量達(dá)到323萬個，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)普及率超過世界平均水平。與此同時，中國互聯(lián)網(wǎng)網(wǎng)上交流也十分活躍。據(jù)統(tǒng)計，中國現(xiàn)在有論壇上百萬個、博客2億多個，每6個中國人就擁有1個博客，網(wǎng)民每天新發(fā)布的博文超過400萬篇。巨大的上網(wǎng)人數(shù)，帶來了巨大的商機。
    酒店網(wǎng)絡(luò)營銷的產(chǎn)生，是和科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展、消費者價值觀的變革及酒店建筑等因素分不開的。首先，酒店選擇網(wǎng)絡(luò)營銷是科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)展的必然。科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展，尤其是計算機技術(shù)和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)的發(fā)展，改變了信息的分配和接收方式，改變了人們的生活、工作和學(xué)習(xí)、合作和交流的環(huán)境。如何借助網(wǎng)絡(luò)更有效地促進(jìn)個人和組織交易活動的實現(xiàn)，對于酒店既是機遇又是挑戰(zhàn)。其次，消費者的需求去挑選和購買。面對消費者價值觀的變革，酒店應(yīng)利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)為消費者提供各種類型的服務(wù)來滿足消費者的需求。第三，英國前首相布萊爾曾警告說“不能上網(wǎng)的企業(yè)將面臨倒閉的危險”，為了在酒店業(yè)激烈的市場競爭中不被淘汰，個酒店競相借助網(wǎng)絡(luò)平臺，開展酒店網(wǎng)絡(luò)營銷。

    1963年，美國的希爾頓酒店安裝了一臺IBM的小型計算機，用于酒店客房的自動化管理，標(biāo)志著現(xiàn)代信息技術(shù)運用開始進(jìn)入酒店領(lǐng)域。1965年假日酒店集團建立了獨立的電腦預(yù)訂系統(tǒng)。我國上和世紀(jì)80年代初，一些酒店開始應(yīng)用計算機網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)進(jìn)行內(nèi)部信息管理和業(yè)務(wù)操作，涉及前廳接待、收銀、問詢、客房預(yù)訂、銷售、餐飲、保安、報表、門鎖等各個方面。進(jìn)入20世紀(jì)后，酒店電子商務(wù)以迅猛的速度蓬勃發(fā)展，在歐美國家，90%以上的酒店都建立了自己的網(wǎng)站；我國很多酒店業(yè)紛紛上網(wǎng)，通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)尋找自己的客戶、尋找需要的產(chǎn)品，為網(wǎng)絡(luò)營銷提供了廣闊的空間。
