Tourists are usually attracted to places and events that give countries or continents their distinctive characters, and as it is commonly-known, Africa's extraordinary safaris are one of the main factors that distinguish Africa from other continents. The San Diego Website is clearly online, and for that reason, all tourists can access it from anywhere at any time. Phrases such as ''As you approach your tour vehicle'' (line 3) and ''Board the African Express and begin your Journey into Africa Tour" (line 7) make it clear that the text actually addresses tourists in particular. Also, the website lists unique African sites, ranging from ''dense forests'' (line 6) to ''vast savannas'' (line 6) that a tourist would generally visit. The wildlife that is going to be observed during the tour is that of ''giant herons, ostriches,'' (line 10) ''impalas, white-bearded gnus'' (line 19) and many more African animals with remarkable adaptations. These sites and animals differentiate Africa from other places and attract tourists into joining the tour. Moreover, the website claims that the tour gives a ''glimpse of the amazing diversity found there'' (lines 1-2).

The Animal Kingdom is a modern exhibit designed to follow the “natural pattern” of an African community. The most eye-popping attraction, the Kilamanjaro Safari, is an open-air, nearly barrier-free animal reserve at Florida’s Walt Disney World. It was a major shift from a cow playground to a zone of care for other wise caged animals. Here, African animals freely roam through acres of savanna, rivers, and rocky hills. The rider is advised to be aware, “You never know what could happen in the wilderness” (Tate 1).

A second strategy that has been rejected is one concerned with the consumer awareness of SGC. Currently, SGC is only advertising to travel agencies. Coupled with segmentation, SGC’s current advertising strategy has hurt SGC in the sense that consumer awareness is considerably low. Only a small portion of the population even knows that Sea Goddess exists. SGC is only targeting those who travel frequently. They may want to target the portion of the population that wants to travel, but is unsure of where to go or what to do. In order for SGC to reach the consumer, new efforts must be made in the advertising plan. Mere travel agency recommendations are not going to be enough to keep SGC alive in the marketplace.
