                   1.2  PROBLEM STATEMENT

                          With the rapid expansion of the internet and electronic booking channels for hotels, the hotel industry and third-party
                       organizations needed to understand why customers choose to use the hotel website to make purchases or book reservations.
                       To address these challenges, the purpose of this study was to see if a three-dimensional framework about the usability,
                       functionality, and quality of a website's design also customer trust could help customers make reservations. In this study, the
                       intention to book or use was frequently used to assess the quality of websites and e-services. The process of locating hotel
                       availability could be automated to save time for both tourist information center and hotel personnel. We suggest a website-
                       based system that allows hotel employees to add listings to a central database. The personnel of the tourist information center
                       might then launch an application to access the database and receive data on the number of rooms available and their costs.
                       The tourist information office spends a significant amount of time calling hotels to confirm availability. In addition, many
                       smaller hotels are unable to promote their availability to visitor information centers.
