Computer applications

Article Abstract:

Many computer programmes are available relevant to the leisure industry. Costs are largely related to complexity and training needs. Security requirements have prompted the development of controlled access. Other applications include membership control, booking facilities, ticketing and catering. However, it is unnecessary to incorporate all leisure needs within one computer programme.
