So both accomodation facilities and travel agencies have been adopting information technologies and especially the internet as undeniable tools. Time has  become the most valuable element for both the producer and the consumer for the last years. Tourists, who are in the position of consumers in tourism sector, have preferred to decrease time they spent to the least in determining the travel they’ll do, the facility they’ll reside, the companies they’ll use as intermediary.
Especially in the transportation or accommodation reservation, taking quick response is quite important for touristic product consumer. The individuals have been able to get information about the destination they’ll go by means of the internet, make the transportation and accomodation reservation and take the
confirmation of their reservations and cancel their reservations in desired time. Online reservation sites which meet us at this point have been acting with the goals like the most suitable price, the least time loss, the highest level pleasure and aiming to get the internet users, each of whom is a potential consumer.
The aim of this study composes determining similar and different properties of web sites giving online reservation service in tourism and making a general evaluation on the results being appeared. In the direction of this aim, 69 web sites giving online reservation service have been arrived and the contents of the
arrived web sites have been examined by taking Murphy and others’ (1996) study as an example.

Designing Free Software Samples: A Game Theoretic Approach

When shareware can be reinstalled, cannibalization of sales of the commercial product may ensue. We analyze the optimal design of free software according to two characteristics: the evaluation period allotted for sampling (potentially renewable) and the proportion of features included in the sample. We introduce a new software classification scheme based on the characteristics of the sample that aid consumer learning. We find that the optimal combination of features and trial time greatly depends on the category of software within the classification scheme. Under alternative learning scenarios, we show that the monopolist may be better off not suppressing potential shareware reinstallation.
