N2 - The study aims to identify the impact of information technology on the distribution of services of tourist institutions in the city of Al-Kharj in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The survey was concentrated on a number of institutions represented in hotels, restaurants and travel and tourism agencies. The results indicate that the information technology had no meaningful effect on the distribution of tourism services in Al-Kharj. A set of recommendations was also presented to tourism organizations represented in the image of using social media to distribute tourism services as well as using and activating the websites of tourist institutions themselves when making reservations for their services and the necessity of activating and using electronic payment methods.
