time and is therefore perishable. All hotels with a fixed number of rooms and transport operators with a fixed number of seats (railway, air carrier, bus companies, etc.) face the challenge of matching supply to the available demand. Excess capacity that is not sold on a particular day is lost and can never be recovered.
The next character of tourism is the seasonality of tourism demand. Demand for tourism products is characterized by an uneven temporal distribution. Annually, there are weeks and months with a great demand and others with a low demand. This uneven distribution differs from country to country, and from destination to destination. For instance, some regions have a peak season of a maximum of six weeks, when for other destinations high season lasts several months.
The tourism industry should also consider human resources. The interaction between the staff and the customer determines the perception of quality. Unlike tangible products where the customer buys certain features, production quality, …show more content…

The enactment of this law has led to the haphazard opening of various sectors to foreign investors. For example, in commercial presence on tourism, this law provides a list of sectors on tourism closed to investment and those that are open to investment under certain conditions. Simply speaking, only gambling and casinos are categorized as a business field closed to investment in Indonesia. For other sectors, foreign service providers can operate and provide tourism services through capital ownership from 49%, 51%, 67%, 70% to 100%.

  • Leisure World Case Study

    Location is of utmost importance to businesses that sell goods or services directly to customers at brick-and-mortar establishments. It influences a company’s ability to market itself. Retailing is a business that relies on traffic – a steady flow of potential customers into the store. The more convenient the location, the more likely shoppers will visit the store. The other side of the argument is probably more revealing, in that shoppers will be less motivated to visit if they find it difficult to get to the store, lack of visibility and convenience (Sullivan, 2002). Unfortunately, this presents a weakness for Leisure World. The location is not favorable considering Leisure World current product inventory. The assortment of products carried are seasonal;therefore, Leisure World run the risk of storing the items at a cost. Historically, inventory has been viewed by business and industry as both an asset and a liability. Inventory is an asset when the unsold product is waiting to be sold for a profit;whereas, it becomes a liability when it consumes physical space, creates a financial burden and increase the possibility of damage, spoilage and loss

  • Seasonal Marketing Strategy

    1372 Words  | 3 Pages

    Some businesses, such as those in the fashion or cropping and harvesting industries, rely on the seasons for certain product sales. When the seasons change business owner, or their hired marketers, have to make adjustments to the market plan. The strategy used in this process is referred to as a seasonal marketing strategy. In retrospect the four seasons are of course spring, summer, fall, and winter. Seasonal marketing should be in sync with the seasons. Sure each season holds a significant holiday, but seasonal marketing is not always based on those holidays (Wagner). According to Vivian Wagner, author for E-Commerce Times, random seasonal events can sometimes acquire higher stature, than those of significant holidays. Tapping into the consumer’s way of thinking is critical to providing him/her with whatever products he/she wants when they are wanted (Wagner). In the fashion industry certain clothes sell better in certain seasons. Coats, jackets, beanies, scarves, gloves, etc. sell better in the winter and the fall. Whereas in the summer shorts, flip flops, and bathing suits sell best. With cropping and harvesting, particular foods can only be grown at particular times. Farmers’ Markets, taken under consideration, have certain produce items that they can sell in only certain months. Thus being said, seasonal marketing is important to the

  • Tourism

    2833 Words  | 6 Pages

    In the more economically developed countries (MEDCs), synonymous mainly with the industrialised countries of the northern hemisphere there, has been an explosion in the growth of leisure and tourism industry, which is now believed to be the worlds second largest industry in terms of money generated. In order to differentiate between leisure and tourism it should be recognised that leisure often involves activities enjoyed during an individual’s free time, whereas tourism commonly refers to organised touring undertaken on a commercial basis. Development in the two areas could be attributed to changing patterns in working lives within the last four decades. Generally, people now have more disposable wealth, work shorter hours, receive longer, paid annual leave, retire earlier and have greater personal mobility. In addition, according to Marshall & Wood (1995), the growth of the tourist industry per se can be associated, in part, with the concentration of capital; the emergence of diversified leisure based companies, sometimes within wider corporate conglomerates and often associated with particular airlines. Furthermore, the development of tourism can generate employment both directly, in jobs created in the hotels, restaurants etc, and indirectly, through expenditure on goods and services in the local area. Nevertheless, although the tourist industry is competitive, which essentially keeps down the cost of foreign travel, the success of tourism in any one area can be ‘influenced by weather, changing consumer tastes, demographics, economic cycles, government policy, not to mention international terrorism and other forms of conflict.’(1) Although such factors may have a detrimental affect on the economy of a popular tourist destination (or even tourism in general, in light of September 11th 2001), the consequence of tourism in general is often three fold: environmental, social and cultural, which in turn has prompted a search for new ‘friendly’ approaches that are less destructive.

The Hotel industry not only plays an important role in the life of people but as well as the economy of the country. I spent an hour of my day relaxing in the lobby at the Fontainebleau resort in Miami, while on vacation with my family visiting from out of state. It was my first time staying at the resort so I was eager to check it out, after seeing such great reviews on Yelp and hearing great things from friends who have been there in the past. The employees working at the resort were very welcoming, professional and willing to go above and beyond to help their guests. The check-in process was very quick due to having
