摘要
This research aims to employ Hofstede's cultural dimensions as a frame to identify valid explanatory factors that account for differences in countries' tourism websites. The study results support that Hofstede's cultural dimensions can be a valuable tool for developing public relations strategies conducive to building and maintaining relationships with multicultural audiences.
