This report provides a comprehensive analysis of finance and funding within the travel and tourism sector, focusing on decision-making processes and financial strategies. It begins with an introduction to management decision-making and its impact on profit margins, using the Carnival Corporation & plc as a case study. The report delves into cost-volume-profit analysis, exploring the significance of costs, volume, and profit in the tourism business. It examines various pricing methods, including cost-based, demand-based, and competition-based pricing, and identifies factors affecting profits, such as seasonal variations, political and economic environments, and bad debts. The report further investigates management accounting information, including financial statements, forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, and management information systems (MIS), and assesses their application in the travel and tourism sector for informed decision-making. Finally, the report interprets travel and tourism financial accounts, including gross profit ratio, net profit ratio, return on capital employed, and return on equity, to evaluate the financial performance of the tourism business.
