It explains their role in rationalising tourism enterprises management marketing decisions through the efficient use of knowledge and dissemination of information to enhance tourism business sector competitiveness in Egypt. The research objectives were achieved by means of a survey that was distributed among tourism marketing managers. The research methodology depends on Likert-scale of attitude measurement.
