on the basis of their characterises for an instance income, behaviour, age and personality traits. In
context to Wanderer, market will be segmented on the basis of travellers which are looking for
online bookings.
Targeting- It is a strategy that break the large market in to the small segments in order to
concentrate on particular groups of consumers within audience (Dredge and Gyimóthy, 2017).
It includes breaking of market in to the segments and after then concentrating marketing efforts
in few segments including consumers whose desires and requirements which must close with the

conduct an investigation before conducting the business. There are many different competitors of
Wanderer which provides its services over an internet through using its applications and
websites. The main competitors of this company are Airbnb, TripAdvisor. These all
organisations provide its services through using websites and applications.
To analyse the competition of business, Porters five forces is one of the effective tool. It
determines as well as analyse the different competitive forces which can shape every sector and
helpful in identify the strengths and weaknesses of an industry. The Porter's Five Forces of
Wanderer mention below:
The threat of substitutions- Substitutes fulfil same need using various technology. In
this, threat of the substitutes is high low because Wanderer comes up with the new and unique
5

idea (Elena and Tatiana, 2015.). It provides the details and information about the all the facilities
related to tourism for an instance accommodation, food, transportation, attractive destination
places etc. Through using one website and application, people can get information about all these
things in a better way. In travel and tourism industry, there is generally more possibilities tp
initiate a new business as well as progress effectively. In this the firm appear in whole ranges of
price with variations within services level. In this, the regular challenges will always to acquire
more consumers to select their services over rivals.
Bargaining power of consumers- In this, bargaining power of consumers is high because
there are many different organisations which provide online services. The consumers are more
demanding and they want to purchase better offerings which are available through paying less
cost. The rivalry among the competitors enhances the bargaining power of consumer which
sometimes create the negative effects on the organisational benefits. As business people seek the
best prices for the best level of experiences and tendency to reduce the price level to gain
competitive advantages in positive manner.
Bargaining power of buyers:
In a business consumers are very much important, majorly in the travel and tourism
industry majorly are the savvy consumers in nature and businesses are at par that have the ability
to change (Hjalager and Johansen, 2013). In context of Wanderer they bring the online services
in the market that helps to consumers to avail services with the help of online source and conduct
survey about the best firm that provides online services to their consumers that ultimately helps
them to remain always competitive in the marketplace. The tourist are the major consumers of
the travel and tourism business and in context of Wanderer with the help of technological
advancement such as by internet they can access to large no. of consumers that have potential
impact on their business proceedings in positive manner. In travel and tourism business due to
the advent of the bargaining power of consumers they find out the various kinds of internet sights
that give them proper knowledge and information about emerging services that are must for their
business to remain always competitive in the marketplace. So bargaining power of the business
is high in that sector that they have large no. of options to get one of best opportunities in
positive manner. The tourist who majorly opting the tourism and hospitality industry are more
capable in making technological advancement in the means of communication as it enhances the
interpreter to increase their bargaining power that crating the fulfilment of organisational goals
6

and objectives. As bargaining power of consumers rises day by day they are finding out the
internet business websites to optimise one of best opportunities in global business environment.
The rivalry among existing competitors:
The rivalry among in the competitors are very much fierce in the travel and tourism
business that affect the business of wanderer to give all kinds of necessary information such as
about hotel line, food and beverages and adventure then the online sites are one of best option to
enlarge businesses in positive manner they provide all necessary knowledge and information to
them so that they can choose one of best services in from various competitors (Holden and
Fennell, 2012.). So it is very much potential for an organisation to build products and services in
best manner. The rivalry among the rivals within travel and tourism industry is fierce. When
potential clients know about this business, the internet minimises the difference among the rivals.
The business men tend to seek the effective prices for best experiences as well as tendency is to
minimise the cost to a competitive level. This sector covers the huge areas so that market is
broaden that enhances the number of rivals. Such as if any open who want to spend their time in
historic sites can easily select a tourist company in that particular city whose prices or amenities
are low.
Barriers to enter:
The initial level of entry is work as an barrier in that industry that hamper the self interest
of the industry in giving their best. With the help of sufficient level of communication channel
helps them to deliver right kind of knowledge and information at right place at right time to
remain always competitive in the marketplace. So in context of Wanderer they investing in an
innovative and by accessing the emerging needs and wants of consumers enter into the market so
that they can reach at large no. of people in positive manner. As in travel and tourism industry
the initial barriers develops a barriers to entry but particular barriers to enter into tourism market
are minimised through internet. Moreover, the barriers to entry within travel and tourism sector
is differentiation. Herein, company can effectively differentiate themselves through their
services, location, amenities and many more which have greater potential to grab the attention of
more customers.
So, whole company within travel and tourism industry can benefit from the porter's five
forces model as due to the application of this they can generate more value within the value
