Introduction

Nowadays, the development of the traditional tourism has entered a very mature stage; this marketing model has been unable to meet the needs of increasing popularity. The space where tourism relies on the market to grow spontaneously is not very big (Tasmania, 2015; Cimiano et al., 2015; Xiao et al., 2016). Tourism brand market is beginning to change from the spontaneous growth to the growth promotion model. In recent years, the rapid development of Internet technology has led people into a new era. According to China’s Internet Center statistics, we can see that the total number of Chinese websites reached 3.57 million and the total number of pages reached 150 billion (Joshi et al., 2015). For us, this is a very big number. It is very difficult, but also very necessary for people to find the content of their needs rapidly and accurately in the endless and fast changing Internet (Shi et al., 2010; Wu et al., 2014). With the arrival of the information age, various industries are faced with the problem how to merge with it, so is the tourism (Shinto et al., 2013). So, a new marketing model emerges--- tourism network marketing. The development of the tourism brand network marketing provides a new marketing tool for the development of the tourism industry. This is mainly for tourism enterprises (Bohnel et al., 2006; Uris Huneker et al., 2008; Collina et al., 2012). It puts the Internet as the carrier, using advanced electronic method to establish the image of tourism enterprises, and achieves the two-way communication to meet the needs of tourists, so as to expand the market, increase profit and achieve its goal of market activities (Cheng et al., 2016; Miller, 2015). From the concept of tourism network marketing, we can see that it shows and enhances the value of “Network” and “Tourism”. In order to spread the image of tourism destination, promote its tourism products to facilitate and guide (online and offline) trading, and develop the tourism industry even more aggressive, it takes a variety of high-tech means and marketing tools (Schally et al., 1994; Sheen et al., 2008; Yu et al., 2016; Chen et al., 2017). According to the user’s needs, we use information push technology to screen the appropriate information quickly and send it to the user equipment. Information push technology can continuously push information to the user, the request for users is very low and it is applicable to the general public. So, this technology is becoming the main way to collect, disseminate and exchange information, indicating that it has important practical significance. The application of intelligent push technology in the tourism industry, breaking the traditional tourism marketing model, which brings convenience to the user and greatly improve the development of tourism. Tourism network marketing is based on IT technology, which has driven the change of tourism marketing. It sets the media and trading places in a body, uses the Internet to carry out tourism marketing activities, and gives the tourism marketing mix with a new connotation. This paper is based on the analysis of the characteristics of mobile Internet and its impact on the tourism industry, and it uses the intelligent push algorithm based on fuzzy K- means clustering to construct the similarity matrix. Then the efficient and reasonable information is pushed to users by the calculated degree of interest. In this way, people can realize a more perfect tourism development strategy based on the background of the mobile Internet era.
