Internet is viewed as a cost-effective, flexible way of doing business. Websites can enable rural tourism lodgings to access markets quickly and to become international. The objective of the study is to quantitatively analyse the websites of rural tourism lodgings in terms of interactivity, navigation and functionality (site design characteristics) as well as site marketing practices on the internet. The study also investigates variations of websites in design and use of marketing elements among Mediterranean countries in Europe. The paper concludes that rural tourism lodgings do not take full advantage of the emerging marketing opportunities in the global marketspace.
