TASK 1

L O 1
ARTICLE
1.1 Core marketing Concepts for travel and tourism sector.
Marketing can be defined as a process where the organizations focus on building and
managing relationships with their customers and managing such relationships formed.
Marketing was earlier considered only in the aspect of goods and services produced but
recently, the concept is becoming increasingly popular in tourism sector as well. Here, the
marketers try to attract their customers by giving them exciting travel packages (Buhalis and
Foerste, 2015). Travel and tourism being a global market, it is very essential that the companies
adopt all the marketing practices attracting maximum number of customers. The core activity of
marketers is the identification of the needs and desires of the customers and at TUI, this is done
excellently by targeting existing and potential customers.
Market Orientation is responsibility of the managers in creating and supplying those products
that fits the customers needs in the best possible way. After the marketers have designed a
product according to the customer's requirements; they have to identify the target market and
make the customers aware of the product that they have brought in the market. Developing
excellent relations with the customers is another core marketing concept which is applicable in
tourism industry as well ((Vellas, 2016)). TUI has been able to achieve this by building a
customer base of 27 million customers.
TUI has been able to bring a revolution in the advertising trends of tourism and travel industry
and by launching their own airways, cruises etc.; they have not only brought diversification in
their present business but also reduced the mediator's cost. For e.g. : While introducing their
own aircraft, the tag line they used for advertising was ' We intend to create a new category of
flying — a holiday airline category.' This was used to make their customers aware of the fact
that the aircraft launched by them is exclusively for the holiday purpose and hence would be
way more interesting than normal airlines (Oromendía, Paz and Rufín, 2015).

1.2 Impact of marketing environment on individual travel, tourism business and tourist
destinations.
Marketing environment of any industry can be analysed by evaluating the two types of markets
i.e. Micro environment and Macro environment. In tourism sector also, it can be done by
analysing both the environments. Micro environment involves those factors that are directly
linked to the business and can affect its success chart. This includes intermediaries, suppliers,
competitors and customers etc. Intermediaries are those firms acting as middlemen, helping in
the growth of the company in different manner (Camilleri, 2018.). For e.g. — TUI resold
Disneyland Paris Holiday package in exchange for the company Euro Disney S.C.A. Similarly,
importance of customers can also be understood by the different categorization of the packages
sold by TUI as per the different requirements of the customers.
Macro environment involves those factors that indirectly influence the working environment of
the company. Market trends, demographic, political structure, society, culture etc. are a few
factors of micro environment. E.g. — TUI was the first company to open New Generation Shop
in 2013; where they integrated their stores with technology where the customers can virtually
experience how their trip is going to be before booking packages (Xiang, Magnini and
Fesenmaier, 2015). All of these factors collectively has helped the company in increasing their
turnover and profitability.
An individual traveller is affected by the marketing environment as it helps them in evaluating
the various options available to them and selecting the one which is the best suitable for them.
This has increased their satisfaction level which they derive by spending their money.
Tourism business is also affected as a new technique devised by one competitor forces other
companies operating in that industry. This helps in overall development of the entire tourism
industry thus improving their practices which enhances the services provided to the customers
(D'Amore, 2019).
TUI is currently planning Central America Summer 2020 Holiday package which includes the
destination Mexico and Costa Rica. The reason for selecting Mexico and Costa Rica is that
them being categorized as hot destinations where a lot of travellers intend to go but the
packages available are not attractive enough. Thus, the marketing environment involves study
of hot destinations which are targetted by the companies so that more customers can be
targeted.
1.3 Factors affecting consumer motivation and demand in travel and tourism sector.

The most important factor influencing the services and packages provided in any industry is the
buying behaviour of the customers. There are various categories of buying behaviours i.e.
complex buying behaviour, variety seeking buying behaviour, habitual behaviour etc. TUI
designs packages accordingly satisfying and meeting different customer needs (Buhalis and
Foerste, 2015).
The decision process of consumer involves 5 steps that are : need recognition, researching the
information, evaluating alternatives, purchasing of the service and lastly post purchase
behaviour of buyer. All the needs of customers can be ultimately linked to the Maslow's
Motivational Theory and TUI targets those in Belonging phase or Self Actualization phase
where the customers have already satisfied their basic needs and now they are motivated to
meet their luxuries needs or spend on their family and loved ones.
The satisfaction level of customers is the major factor in determining their buying behaviour
and the factors that motivate any consumer before making a decision to buy. Also, the value
that a customer derives from the services received is a huge factor in determining the
motivational level of the customers (Vellas, 2016). There are extrinsic as well as intrinsic
motivational factors affecting a potential customer. TUI; by identifying those needs and
targeting the customers accordingly by preparing those plans and packages that will satisfy the
multi facets of customer's requirement has built an excellent customer base in 180 different
regions across the globe. Therefore, there are a variety of factors affecting a consumer's
motivational level and their buying behaviour.

1.4) Principles of market segmentation.
Market segmentation -
It refers to the process of dividing the whole market into various homogeneous groups on the
basis of different factors. The main objective of the company behind market segmentation is to
utilize its resources for offering the product or service to satisfy the demand of a particular
segment of buyers. Market segmentation helps the organization to conduct marketing activities
for a particular segment. TUI may use various methods for segmenting the market for offering
summer 2020 holidays to Mexico and Costa Rica (Camilleri, 2018). These are as follows -
Geographic -
Marketer of TUI will divide the whole market of UK on the basis of geography. Under this,
firm will segment the market on the basis of various cities, region of the country.
Psychographic -
TUI will also use psychographic factors such as personality, social class of clients for offering
tour package.
Demographic -
Another important factor, company will use is demographic factors of the customers. It includes
the age, purchasing power, nationality, educational qualification, family size of the client etc.
Behavioural -
Here, the term behaviour means the perception and attitude of the clients towards the company
and its products or services. TUI will take into consideration the benefits that customer required
in the product or services, frequency of buying the tour package,
All the above methods of market segmentation will help TUI to develop marketing plan for
attracting large number of customers towards package of Summer 2020 holidays to Mexico and
Costa Rica.

product or service and their impact in targeted segment of market. It helps to analyse current

position of the firm, potential opportunities, strengths, competitors etc (Tussyadiah, I.P. and
Sigala, 2018). TUI will use various tools for placing the firm strategically such as-
SWOT analysis -
Strengths :
 One of the major strength of TUI Group is that it is operating more than 1600 travel
agencies, airlines, approximately 380 hotels,
 Strong management team.
Weaknesses :
 Highly dependent on technology for operating the business so if, there is any
disruption then company will have to face lot of difficulties.
Opportunities :

destinations.
Threats :
 Fluctuations in foreign currency may impact cost of operations negatively
(Khalilzadeh, J. and Wang, 2018).
Ansoff Matrix -

the business. Such as-
Market penetration-
TUI can sell its existing products or services in existing market of UK with the help of
strong promotional activities.
Product development -

existing production capacity. It should offer new products like tour package for summer

decisions. It helps to collect, analyse and provide information to marketer of travel and
tourism companies. TUI should use Management Information System for understanding the
demands of clients, to analyse the actions of competitors and to support fast decision-making
of the marketer in respect of new package TUI will offer to targeted customers (Tung, Lee, S.
and Hudson, 2019).
Importance for Manager -
Marketing research is very important for Managers of companies that are operating in
travel and tourism companies. It helps the Manager to create strategy for entering in new
market. Also, supports in segmenting the whole market. For Example- Marketing research

America Summer 2020 holidays to Mexico and Costa Rica.
The process of marketing research involves analysis of opportunity, developing the
plan, collecting qualitative and quantitative data, analysis and taking action etc. Marketing
research supports the Manager to determine market trend and present demand of customers in
respect of products or services of tourism companies.
2.3) Influence of marketing on society.
Marketing activity of an organization impacts the whole society in different ways.
Every organization in travel and tourism industry is required to comply certain rules and
regulations in respect of marketing of goods and services. This helps to protect the interest of
targeted customers. For Example- TUI Have to follow regulations of Government while
conducting promotional activities for summer 2020 holidays to Mexico and Costa Rica. This
will result in promoting social responsibility such as creating employment opportunities etc.
Marketing activities of the organization will also help to develop sustainability of the
business through compliance of ethical practises for operating the business. Marketer of TUI

will help to meet out the demand of customers as well as the expectations of the Government
from company (Gavrilović, Z. and Maksimović, 2018).
Marketing of TUI in respect of summer 2020 holidays to Mexico and Costa Rica will
help to protect the environment. Company should focus on reducing the waste , optimum
utilization of raw material etc. All these efforts will help to protect the society of the country
in which firm is conducting the marketing activities. Organization can also determine the
changes that are happening in demands of customers for travel and tourism products and
services with the help of marketing research. Therefore, TUI should comply the rules and
regulations of Government by investing funds for sustainable marketing of the new package
