The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of various internet marketing methods like Online Travel Agents (OTA), Online Reviews (ORV), social media (SM), and Web GIS (WG) and examine the mediating role of Destination Image (DI) on tourist Homestay Booking (HB) located in the Himalayan region of India. Primary data was collected by using a structured questionnaire from 340 tourist respondents. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data using SPSS and AMOS 21.
