Market segmentation of the industry in the visitors attractions.
Market segmentation means the market of the company where it is operating has to be divided in
parts so that they services can be designed on the division of the market and the target groups.
The organisation has the opportunity to cover the differentiated market by providing the services
accordingly (Bryce, Curran and Taheri., 2015). The market can be divided into various
categories such as follows-

1. Geographic segmentation- In this types of the market segmentation the organisation use
to divide the market on the basis of the geographical factors. The areas on which the
market can be divided are done by the firms. On the basis of the geographical structure
like the country, nation, states, regions and cities the market get divided. Depending upon
the segmented market the organisation's attraction and destination planner use to design
therefore it become more beneficial and comfortable for the visitors to avail the services
as well the organisation can be able to attract the visitors in large ratios (Changbo and
Jingjing., 2011).

divide the market into the demographic manner. The age of the customers, gender,

family, income and education. On this basis the organisation design the package of the
attractions of the visitors.
 The age division helps the customers to avail the services accordingly is the age package
that the customer want is of 5-10 year and the package that are offered by the
organisation does not many times able to meet the customers demand therefore the
market has to be get divided on the basis of the age factors so that every age group can be
able to get the correct choice of the destinations and the attraction points.
 The gender segregation of the market has also to be carried out. On this basis several
destination and the attraction points can be designed so that the people according to the
available and differentiated packages can avail and with this the customers also get
increased.
 Income earned by the people of the society are also one of the factor that has to be
considered by the organisation while dividing the market. The offering by the firm can
also be done on the basis of the income level of the society's people. This will promote
the tourism industry as well as the attraction of the customers can be done (Cheng, Lin
and Du., 2013).
3. Behavioural- The organisation focuses on the buying behaviour of the customers. The
way the people use to purchase the particular things and the services related to the
tourism industries are been very keenly studied by the organisation and then they plan
and design the package that has to be offered to the customers, hence the market
segmentation done on the basis of the behaviour of the customers also help the
organisation to attract the customers as well as to help in the sustainability and the growth
of the industry. The status of the users of the society also plays a very important role in
the visitors attraction of the firm.
4. Psycho graphic- This market segmentation is done on the basis of the consumers attitude,
personalities, lifestyle and the social class on its behave the organisation use to divide its
visitors for the package(Connell, Page and Meyer., 2015).
The motivational factors of the visitors are as follows-
 The place and the destination is the factor that definitely influence the customers or the
visitors.
 Attitude of the visitors also influence the motivational factor of himself.

 The family and the age of the consumer also motivate the person for availing the tourism
packages
2.2) Impact of tourism on the visitor attractions.
The tourism puts a great impact on the visitors attractions as because there are many
factors that are the part of the tourism that has the direct connect of it with the services of the
packages and the trips. The organisation has to consider several things so that the customers can
be able to choose the products and the services of the firm. It will be very difficult to manage the
issues of the customers as because they bring such situations that the firm not even had thought
of it. The following are the factors that gives its impact on the visitors attractions (Del Chiappa,
Andreu and G. Gallarza., 2014.).
 Overcrowding and Carrying capacity- Many a times the organisation in the greed and the
objective of the profit maximum take a number of tourist or the visitors to the same
destination which most of the time affect the customers view towards the organisation as
because they might be willing to have a calm n peaceful trip but the firm take many
visitors together at the same time at the same location which create a situation of hustle
and bustle all around and the customers who chose for the destination will not able get
the satisfaction that they actually can get by less number of the visitors. The customers
get disappointed with the firms services and may they can switch the service this will
directly impact on the operations of the organisation and the growth of it.
 Pollution- The customer also faces the traffic related issues like the pollution. The
transportation facilities that the customers are getting might affect the motivation and the
satisfactory level of the customers. Pollution is the factor that changes the positive mood
of the customers, this will spoil the customers trip that they have chosen and this may
also cause health issues to the person who is availing the services.
 Accidents- The situation of accidents to certain destination also plays the important role
in the package that the organisation designs (Dong and Siu., 2013). The firm should not
choose the places where the cases of the accidents have found many times, if it happens
then the customers will not wish to go for the services that the organisation is offering,
although the company will provide the best health and safety facilities to the customers
still they will not opt the services of the firm to the particular destinations. There are

chances that the transportation facilities that the organisation is planning to provide to the
customers are not as appropriate as because they might have face many problems with
that and many accident cases are there against the transportation company that the
organisation is choosing then also the customers will deny to take the chance to avail the
services by the firm.
 Local community- the destinations chosen for the visitors must be good and the local
community should be good as well because the visitors want the surroundings to be
soothing and comfortable so that they can enjoy the trip in an effective manner is the
community is against any of the thing then the customers get irritated with this and the
trip of them get spoiled hence the organisation must focus of the place and its
surroundings when ever choosing it
 Facilities- The best facilities has to be provide to the customers so that they can be
satisfied with the services and can get more attracted to the products of the organisation.
 Education and training- The destination that has been chosen should be providing the
information and the knowledge to the visitors, if the college and the schools students are
the customers ten the destination should be in the favour of the selected group of the
market (Fang, Kucukusta and Law., 2016).
 The destinations- The most important factor that has a big impact on the customers mind
and the motivation because the destination should be satisfying the needs and the wants
of the customers, if the customer is willing to sit calm at the sea shore or at the beach,
instead that the organisation provide some other destination then the customer
2.3)Effect of the different theories of tourist motivation on the management of visitor attraction.

promote the customers to the utilise the resources of the leisure and satisfaction in an effective
manner. The organisation has the impact of these theories in the actions of the firm.
1. Responsible tourism- the responsible tourism means that the effects of the tourism
industry on the life and the behaviour of the customers (Garrod, Fyall and Reid., 2012).
The actions that are carried out by the tourism industry's effect on the ecology,
community and the people and they try to overcome the impacts of the tourism by
providing the bes services and also improved form of tourism conditions. This is
basically described in the different ways of the tourism like the fair trade tourism, green

tourism, sustainable tourism, ecotourism and alternative tourism. The responsibil8ity of
the tourism industry lies upon the surroundings and the organisation has to implement all
the possible policies which will help the environment and the local community safe, clean
and harmless.
 Fair trade tourism- This is the trade through which the organisation can be able to
provide various benefits, the local community people can be able to get the employment,
the customs are get by the local restaurant and the money that has been invested will
remain in the local market.

availing the good environmental policies. There are various types of the green tourism in
the scenario with the organisation can implement so as to keep the surroundings safe and
