Abstract
We present guidelines to foster quality industrial online tourism. This is the first guideline ever made where the component of presentation of the contents prevails over the other categories of design in a hypermedia system, such as navigation or structure. As well as this, a heuristic table has been determined to show whether the website correctly represents the online content for tourist promotion. The main features that a heuristic assessor in the industrial multimedia/hypermedia systems has to consider are those locations where there is a crossing point among tourism, communicability, design industry and trade.
