Research ideas floating around in my head

I have been thinking about some possible areas that may interest me for the research project. A project which leads on from Project Management class, as one based on IT systems and infrastructure at a motel in Nelson. I have always shown interest in aspects of Tourism Management, and I would like to investigate the increasing role that e commerce plays in the tourism industry. Furthermore I could isolate this with examples from the Nelson region. I believe this is on the right track for a research area, as the access to empirical research is attainable.

After finally receiving my laptop from NMIT (thanks), I got the help desk to configure my access under my AD account. When I worked at Landcorp, I was the AD specialist i.e. I created the users, groups and maintained the AD on the server. AD has intrigued me, as business rely on this systems heavily for business infrastructure these days. It seems very incorporable in IT systems today, maybe I could analyse AD's role in IT systems of businesses?

Some good IT ideas in my head but I think the first topic will be more hands on but also the second one is a notable and practical area also.
