The very basic presence of destination management organizations along with the industry players in World Wide Web is not all. Rather, the diversified usability is imperative even with many off line peripheral operations. The new means and uses of ICT have added a new meaning and wide domain with increasing strategic alliances and partnerships. Many off line information retrieving facilities have now become online with a scope for more updates and options. At this juncture of becoming off line to fully online, analysis of choosing a source of travel information for various uses is praise worthy and guide-full to similar tourist destinations of many developing nations in South Asia. The present article is an attempt to determine the future promotional strategy through the formulation of its mix by identifying the source of information (or enquiry) for tourists visiting Sikkim and actual booking made. This is done with a primary data collection in all four districts head quarters in Sikkim and statistical tools are Kendell‘s coefficient of concordance, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and simple percentage analysis.
