| Abstract | Information search is an important part in most consumers' buying decisions. For Thailand whose main revenues rely partly on tourism industry, one of a top industries which is significantly affected by an emergence of the Internet. Understanding tourists' information search behavior could provide useful information for both government and tourism-related businesses to plan their marketing communication and distribution strategies. The main contribution of this study is to explore and refine determinants of external information search behavior in the tourism context, the context which has not been fully explored in the literatures, and the features that could be used to characterize tourists' external information search behavior. This study utilized a so-called “Three-pronged approach”, an approach to cross validate among the result from literature review, expert interviews, and an exploratory field study in order to confirm and propose a reliable conceptual framework. Findings from the three-pronged approach suggested 11 components as determinants of external information search behavior and 4 features that could be used to define tourists' external information search behavior itself. Six new variables which did not exist in the literatures as determinants of external information search behavior were introduced with satisfactory validity and reliability levels. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
