摘要

津巴布韦旅游局(ZTA)正在广泛使用互联网来推广津巴布韦的旅游目的地，但很少有研究对ZTA网站的有效性进行评估。本研究采用Li和Wang提出的ICTRT (Information, Communication, Transaction, Relationship and Technical Merit)模型，通过专家评估者的内容分析，对津巴布韦旅游局网站的有效性进行评估。本研究的目的是评估ZTA网站的有效性，并调查其功能特点。这一目标是通过专家评估人员对网站的五项功能(ICTRT)进行内容分析实现的。结果表明，ZTA网站的效果一般，在信息和沟通方面更突出。该网站在交易和关系管理等复杂和复杂的功能上效果不佳。网站的复杂性被发现是有效性的主要决定因素。根据研究结果和专家知识，提出结论和建议，以提高ZTA网站的有效性。
