    Study Notes

    Tourism Planning

    • Tourism planning focuses on understanding and managing tourism development.
    • Planning considers factors like location, psychographics, and behavioral segmentation.
    • Psychographic segmentation involves grouping tourists based on values, lifestyles, interests, activities, and personalities. Marketers can use this information to tailor their programs and projects.
    • Behavioristic segmentation categorizes tourists based on buying habits, travel preferences, purpose of travel, and benefits sought. This helps tourism promoters and developers refine their efforts.

    Supply Side of Tourism

    • The "supply side" encompasses all the services and resources provided to meet tourist demand.
    • Includes attractions, services, transportation, information, and promotion.
    • Attractions are a vital component, stimulating interest and providing visitor satisfaction (the actual "product" of tourism).
      • Planned and managed for visitor interest, activity, and enjoyment.
      • Benefit from clustering.
      • Linkages between attractions and services are crucial.
