Netjac is a database consultation tool that allows both exchange of experiences or good practices and research programs in sustainable tourism. • Online interface of database management • Online data capture in a real time of good practices and research programs • Both a benchmark and targeted information tool through Ernest. WTO criteria • Available on www. netjac. eu 11

3. A collaborative tool: NETJAC • Experience exchange : revival on the action (see good practices board) • Indicators/capacity building : exchanges between all the partners to set it up • Work on NETJAC : collaborative tool (see later) NETJAC : more collaboration, easier exchange of information • NETJAC has been enhanced with a number of features carefully thought of in view of facilitating exchange of information and joint actions. • Article’s merits will be rewarded with a lot more visibility • Users are able to easily contact articles’ owners • Use of unique tools (Virtual visits) to give impact to articles 21/09/2010 14

3. A collaborative tool: NETJAC : more collaborative => NETJAC has been developed to integrate an internal collaborative space: • It is a place for all the partners to share information directly on the good practices. • All the partners are able to ask questions and put comments about a good practice or whatever, and get a direct answer from the relevant item “owner”. • The owner of the good practice is informed once a comment has been written. • Everyone can consult the comments but only certified users can feed the comments • This collaborative space has the objective to facilitate the exchanges as well as to share and obtain additional, practical and concrete information on the implementation. 21/09/2010 15

3. A collaborative tool: NETJAC : facilitate joint actions => NETJAC allows both the evaluation and selection of good practices in order to give rise to study visits. Both the evaluation and the selection of the good practices will be made automatically according to themes fixed by the WTO and ERNEST, divided into three categories represented by the ERNEST leaf: will give rise to the study visits on-site will give rise to the virtual visits consists of the good practices held by the partners 21/09/2010 16
