Abstract
This paper describes the Open Tourism Initiative (OTI), exploring its application in tourism, based on the Virtual Enterprise (VE) organizational model. It assumes as essential to assure the permanent alignment between a tourism solution and the client’s interests and expectations, which claims for a reliable integration and dynamic networking of the entities providing that solution (the VE). When a member of the VE scheduled to provide a given service is somehow conditioned, unable to participate or has to be disentailed from the network, or due to events not necessarily measurable or deterministic, it is necessary to reconfigure the VE in almost real time. OTI handles dynamic tourism packages under reconfigurable VE environment.
