It would have been easier to choose a different industry where I would have had to analyze all the costs related to the Information technology and also to the production process, but considering that the tourism sectors avoid the need to deliver products and services around the world - a task that gives a customer dissatisfaction, but also evaluating customers trust and belief on purchasing products and services considering that the final product is not presented before them and as a customer you just cannot start consuming the product in the moment you have finished the payment process, but it is postponed for the near future.
