Proposed Research Topic: Strategic Marketing in Tourism

Aims

Potential in tourism sector has continued to flourish over time. The growth of the industry has seen both the public and private sectors invest heavily on tourism facilities and guiding materials. The tourist offer of these destinations involves international community and is the result of interaction among public and private sectors who act autonomously (Ruggero). These two sectors have different roles, competences and capabilities enabling them to manage the tourism industry. Interest in tourism management sprouts from the challenges in tourist systems that facilitate coordination linked to the market. To manage the tourism industry, it is important to understand the relationship between the public and private sectors. Therefore, the industry is highly influenced by government bodies that control and regulate tourist destinations. In this paper, I will explore existing tourism marketing strategies in international tourist destinations. I will also seek to identify active and dormant parties for development of international tourism and analyze how their capabilities affect how they value rules and their control influence in the industry.

Significance of the research

The research will identify possible ways of investing in tourism, including the roles played at certain levels in the industry. This will probably boost the way individuals perceive tourism environment (Ruggero, page 4). I will conduct my research in a team that is involved in local and international marketing agencies. Among them, I will consult Acro Global Marketing Agency, International Tourism Consulting Group and Tourism Marketing International Agencies. The agencies will secure a two hours cross-ex...

Shortcomings

There may be limitations in information acquired from online agencies, as this will seem to appear as a source of competition. Tour firms may also not be willing to give out all details that they engage in their touring operations. There may also arise some financial constraints to execute thorough research. However, mechanisms will be put in place to overcome such and execute a comprehensive research.

  • Tourism as the World's Largest Industry

    1008 Words  | 3 Pages

    Tourism is a typical activity of fashion that the public participate widely and it has grown in importance over recorded human history. Innumerable articles refer tourism as “the world’s largest industry”; policy-makers, analysts, and scholars often speak of the size of the tourism compared to that of other industries (Smith 2004: 26). These series of misleading statement, together with the mass media’s reports (out of context), make the idea that tourism is a single large industry branded into many people’s minds. However, in this essay I will demonstrate that it is a simplistic and misleading idea, which should be replaced by the plural term, “tourism industries”. Moreover, tourism is not the world’s largest industry, but largest service sector.
