The Internet is an ideal medium for travel and tourism and its use has continued to grow at a dramatic rate (some forecasts have suggested that travel and tourism's share of e-commerce could rise to 50 per cent in the next few years). This book offers guidance to both destination management organisations (DMOs) and tourism businesses on how best to use e-commerce. The first part analyses market trends and explains the concepts of e-business and customer relationship management. The second part focuses on the DMOs, and how they can respond to the changing value chains and how they can provide websites for consumers, intermediaries, travel media and tourism businesses. The last part is concerned with e-business for tourism suppliers, particularly small and medium sized enterprises.

The entry of the Scots into the English Civil War (1642–1651) on 19 January 1644 on the side of Parliament radically changed the balance of power in the North of England. The Royalists in the North were forced onto the defensive and besieged in York. In a bold march Prince Rupert outmanoeuvred his enemies and relieved York without a shot being fired. However, when Rupert met the allied army in battle on Marston Moor on 2 July his cavalry was defeated by Cromwell's Ironsides who then turned on the Royalist infantry. The result was a hard-fought but catastrophic defeat; the Royalist army was crushed and their forces driven from the north of England.
