Why this presentation?
• Many students start their tourism studies
without a clear idea about what they are
going to study;
• This presentation helps them to get them
immersed in their chosen field of studies.
7
Aim of the Presentation
• To learn what Tourism Studies are about;
• To learn what Tourism is about;
• To get acquainted with some main concepts in
Tourism Studies;
• To get acquainted with the main players in Tourism;
• To comprehend the relationships between the main
players;
• To understand the interdependence between
Society and Tourism.
8
The Structure of the
Presentation
The presentation is built upon ‘The
Tourism System’ by Neil Leiper;
Each component of the system is a
separate chapter;
The components are changing over
time;
The connections between the
components make the system dynamic
(= ever changing).
9
Final remark
• It is assumed that you are familiar with most
of the presented concepts in this Power
Point;
• However, to facilitate your task, each chapter
starts with some references related to the
subjects of that chapter (if available,
together with a web-link).
• Enjoy!

Background
• Definitions of Tourism are described in-depth
by the UNWTO (expertly compiled by
Tugberk Ugurlu);
• Wikipedia gives of course also information;
• See also the information by The Tourism
Society;
• A good overview is also given by Ron Mader
on Planeta.
13
What is behind all this and is that
all there is?
Tourists
Cruise Ship
Attractions &
Destinations
But there is much, much more …………………
14
The answer: what the pictures don’t
show…...
• Companies: Hotels, Transport, Travel Agencies, ….
• Organizations: Information Services, ….
• People: Management, Front Office, ….
• Tourists: Needs, Wants, Behavior, ….
• Governments: Laws, Subsidies, ….
• Politics: Terrorism, ….
• Economy: Income, Employment, ….
• Society: Norms, Values, ….
• Technology: Reservation Systems, Internet, .…
• Together THE TOURISM SYSTEM
15
Official Definition of
Tourism
• The United Nations World Tourism Organization
(UNWTO) defines tourism as follows:
• Tourism comprises the activities of persons
traveling to and staying in places outside their usual
environment for not more than one consecutive
year for leisure, business and other purposes.
16
Main Characteristics of Definition
1. Activities of People;
2. Displacement outside usual environment;
3. Purpose of the trip;
4. Duration.
17
Does it make more sense now?
• Tourism comprises the activities of persons
traveling to and staying in places outside
their usual environment for not more than
one consecutive year for leisure, business and
other purposes.
Chapter 2
The Tourism System
19
• The Tourism System is adapted from the model made by Neil Leiper
(1979 and 1990);
• Leiper emphasized the spatial aspects (tourism generating region,
destination region and transit regions). This presentation however,
focuses on Demand, Supply and the Intermediate Institutions and
Businesses;
• Source: Annals of Tourism Research, Vol. 8, Issue 1, p. 69-84;
• An introduction to Systems, can be found on Wikipedia;
• Old and New Tourism, Old and New Tourists are described in ‘Tourism,
Technology and Competitive Strategies’ by Auliana Poon (1993). In an
article ‘The New Age of Tourism – And the New Tourist’ Dr. Aparna Raj
has summarized the concept of Auliana Poon.
Background
20
First: What is a System?
In a system, all separate
parts perform together
to make it function.
Each separate part
alone is of no use!
21
What is a System?
• Something that has parts: Components;
• Which are Interrelated;
• And which are changing in time: Dynamic;
• And what is part of Society: External Environment.
• Components of a System are Interrelated, so they
influence each other. The System also receives and
sends influences from and to the External
Enviroment.
• Because over time, Components change,
Interrelations change and Society changes, so the
system changes, making it Dynamic!
22
A Car as an example of a System
What makes a system?
• Components
• Interrelated
• Dynamic (Changing)
• External Environment
• The System (Car) has many Components (like Wheels
with Tires), which are Interrelated (Wheel and Car), so
they Influence each other. They are Dynamic (Tear and
wear), so there is Change. Also the System receives
influences from External Environment (Nail on the
Road), which causes a flat tire. Also it sends influences
(Exhaust Fumes) to the External Environment.
23
Tourism as a System
• Components: Tourists, Companies,
Destinations;
• Interrelated: Supply and Demand;
• Dynamics: Nature of Tourism changes over
the years;
• External Environment: Political, Economical,
Social and Technological Factors (PEST)
influence and are influenced by Tourism.
24
Is Tourism Dynamic?
• Tourism in the recent past: OLD TOURISM:
– Travel industry was in charge
– Tourists were followers
– Focused on attractions
• Tourism today: NEW TOURISM:
– Consumer is in charge
– Tourists know what they want
– Focused on experiences
• OLD -> NEW: CHANGE = DYNAMIC
25
Characteristics of ‘Old Tourism’
• Paid Holidays;
• Start of Economic Growth: Higher Income;
• Jet Aircraft, Cheap Charter Flights;
• Sun-lust Tourists;
• Mass Tourism, Package Tours;
• Entrance of Multi National Companies in
travel industry (like TUI, Expedia).
26
Some Characteristics of ‘New
Tourism’ (starting at the end of 20th
Century):
• Increased travel experience;
• Heavy media exposure (TV, Internet, Twitter, YouTube, ....);
• Always Online (Smart Phone, iPad, ….);
• Experiences more important than passive sunbathing;
• New production and distribution methods: Shift from
Business to Consumer (B2C) to Consumer to Consumer (C2C),
like Airbnb and Uber;
• Attention for environment and sustainability.
27
OK, let’s study the Tourism System!
In the next chapters we will take a closer look at the
Components, Interrelations, Dynamics and External
Environments of TOURISM!

Background Demand
• Definitions: UNWTO
• Maslow: Hierarchy of Needs: Wikipedia
• Plog (Original): Psychographic Personality Types
• Plog (Revisited): New Typology
• Cohen: Exploration of Travel Experience
• MICE:
Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, Events & Exhibition
• We have, in this stage, refrained from presenting a
lot of statistics. This will make more sense later.
However, if you are interested, visit the UNWTO
website.
32
We will start with the Demand
• Demand = Tourists
– Effective Demand: Those who can and do
– Potential Demand: Those who can, but don’t do
it yet
– Deferred Demand: Those who can and normally
do, but not now for some reason
– No Demand: Those who can’t do and won’t do it
• Why study Demand?
– Product Development
– Marketing Purposes
33
The importance of international
tourism
• The importance of international tourism is
measured as follows:
– Arrivals: 1.184.000.000 (2015)
– Expenditures (USD) 1.274.940.000.000 (2015)
• What does this mean?
– World population >7.000.000.000 (2015)
– Per person (in USD) 182.00!

Definition of a Tourist
• Tourists are people who travel to and stay in
places outside their usual environment for
more than twenty-four (24) hours and not
more than one consecutive year for leisure,
business and other purposes not related to
the exercise of an activity remunerated from
within the place visited.
(UNWTO, 1995)
36
A more easy definition?
A tourist is a temporary leisured person who
voluntarily visits a place away from home for
the purpose of experiencing a change.
• Time: Temporary
• Choice: Voluntarily
• Destination: Away from Home
• Motivation: Experience
37
Why do people travel at all?
• Push Factors: Why go?
– Needs and Wants
– Self-fulfillment
– To learn and to experience
• Pull Factors: Why there?
– Attractions in destination
– Needs and wants fulfillment
– Gains: real or perceived!
38
Analyzing the Demand
• Quantitative Aspects
– How many?
– When?
– How often?
– How do they travel and where do they stay?
– How long do they stay?
– How much money did they spent?
– How and where to?
• Qualitative Aspects
– Motivation
– Composition
– Typologies

Maslow’s needs and motivations
Maslow states that there is a hierarchy in
human needs. When a lower need is fulfilled,
than a person is motivated to pursue a higher
need.
From low to high he distinguishes the
following needs:
• Physiological: Relaxation (Rest, Sunlust)
• Safety: Security (Health)
• Belonging: Love (Togetherness, Roots)
• Esteem: Status (Recognition)
• Self-Actualization: Be yourself (Self-discovery)
43
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
44
Plog’s Typology of Tourists
(Stanley Plog, 1974)
• Allocentrics: ‘other-centered’ tourists who
enjoy exposing themselves to other cultures
and new experiences, and are willing to take
risks in this process
• Psychocentrics: ‘self-centered’ tourists who
prefer familiar and risk averse experiences
• Midcentrics: ‘average’ tourists whose
personality type is a compromise between
allocentric and psychocentric traits

personality types:
• VENTURERS (Allocentrics)
– Venturers
– Pioneers
– Voyagers
• AUTHENTICS (Psychocentrics)
– Journeyers
– Sightseers
– Traditionals
49
Old and New Tourists
• Old Tourists (Venturers):
– Looking for luxury, glamour, brand names
– To relax and to be pampered
– LOOKING FOR A REST
• New Tourists (Authentics):
– Tired of sameness of resorts, hotels
– Prefer characater and authenticity
– Like to mix with the local community
– LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCE
50
Change of a destination:
Acapulco (México)
From a tiny fishing village into this……..
There are many Acapulco’s in the world!
51
Types of Tourists
(After E. Cohen, 1972)
• Based upon both the interaction with local
population and the use of travel industry
– Drifters
– Explorers
– Individual Mass Tourists
– Organized Mass Tourists
52
Typology of E. Cohen
Drifter:
Adventurous, avoids other tourists,
makes no use of tourist services
Long-term stay, immerses completely
in the local society
Explorer:
Independent, immerse themselves
locally, but rely also on modern
amenities.
Backpacker, guided by the ‘Lonely
Planet’.
Individual Mass-Tourist:
Uses services of the tourism industry,
limited contact with local population
Traveling individually, but stays on the
‘beaten track’
Organized Mass-Tourist:
Highly dependent on tourist industry,
fully organized, no or limited contacts
with local population, stays in own
environmental bubble; Western-style
accommodations, prefers cruise or ‘all-
inclusive
53
Business & Leisure Travel
• No clear distinction between business and
leisure in definitions:
• Business Travel: Trips made by those who are
required to travel in relation to their work.
54
Types of Business Travelers
• Individual Business Travelers:
– Sales, Service, Training,…..
• Corporate Hospitality (Grand Prix, Sky Box)
• Meetings
• Incentives
• Conferences
• Exhibitions / Events
Most of the time referred to as MICE

Attraction as a Product
Tourism Product:
• Intangible
• Perishable
• Production = Consumption
• Producers and consumers are part of product
• Not standardized
• Core is free
• Customers don't buy it, but use it temporarily
71
Product = Experience
• Anticipation
• Journey to and from
• Visit itself
• Recollection:
A story to tell back
home!!
72
Product Levels (After Philip Kotler)
• Core Product:
Basic need it satisfies
• Tangible Product:
Product itself: quality,
branding, packaging
• Augmented Product
Intangible benefits, Help
Desk, Status •Hamburger (Hunger)
•Plate, Seat, Etc.
•Coke
•Service (Happy Meal)
73
Product Levels
• Can you recognize the three levels of this
product?

Destination Life Cycle
(R. Butler, 1980)
75
Stages Life Cycle of a Destination
1. Exploration: A secret spot is discovered, no or few facilities
2. Involvement: A few locally-run businesses are established
3. Development: A well defined tourism industry is
developed. Destination is well promoted
4. Consolidation: Tourism becomes an important or even a
dominant feature of the local economy
5. Stagnation: Tourism growth slows down and carrying
capacity is reached. The area is no longer a new hotspot,
probably it is overbuilt and polluted
6. Decline or Rejuvenation: Decline results as tourists choose
other destinations. Rejuvenation typically requires
attracting a different kind of tourist and active
government support!
76
Pleasure Periphery
• Area with popular tourist destinations around the
industrial, affluent world.
• Driving force is Social Distinction
• When a higher social class sees that a lower class is
coming to their destination, they depart and look
for another place elsewhere.
• In time, we see this shift in visitors to a destination:
– Upper Class, (Cultural) Elite, Gentry
– Upper Middle Class
– Mass Tourism
77
Pleasure Periphery
• Each main tourist generating region has its own
pleasure periphery
• This periphery grows with the arrival of new
possibilities (available transport, time, money)
• There is an end to this growth, because earth is not
infinite
• There are also overlaps of peripheries of different
generating regions: Caribbean (USA & Europe), SE
Asia (Europe and Australia)
• To retain their exclusivity, higher classes return to
previous visited places, however they indulge there
in other, more exclusive activities: social distinction!
78
Pleasure Peripheries Europe:
• Start 19th
Century:
– Coastal Areas Britain & North Sea
• End 19th
Century:
– Mediterranean
• 1960-ies:
– North Africa, Canary Islands
• 1990-ies:
– Caribbean, S.E. Asia
• 21st
Century:
– Space or back to the coast?
79
Pleasure Peripheries USA
• End 19th
Century:
– East Coast USA: Rhode Island
• Start 20th
Century:
– Florida
• 1950-ies:
– Mexico, Caribbean, Hawaii
• 1990-ies:
– S.E. Asia, South America
• 21st
Century:
– Space or back to Rhode Island?
80
Pleasure Periphery
• Here today, gone tomorrow
Coney Island (New
York):
Once a bustling
entertainment area,
now derelict, but….
Alternative Groups
from a cultural elite and
develop their own
things!
81
Here today, gone tomorrow
• Both host population and travel industry
need stability to assure:
– Income & Employment
– Safeguarding Environment
– Tax revenues
• Therefore:
– Planning
– Sustainability
• Benefits and Costs!
82
Destination Development Models
• Agents of Development:
– Public Sector
– Private Sector
– Public & Private Partnerships
• Typologies:
– Spontaneous (Costa Brava)
– Integrated (La Plagne, ski resort in French Alps)
– Catalystic (Disney in Florida)
• Creating Customer Loyalty and Sustainability should
always be the guideline!
83

84
Impacts of Tourism
• Impacts can be either Positive or Negative
• Impacts of Tourism on Destination:
– Spatial
– Economical
– Cultural
– Environmental
– Political
– Social
85
Costs and Benefits of Tourism
• Benefits
– Income (wages, tax)
– Employment
– Infrastructure
– Window on the world
for locals
– More attention for own
environment
• Costs
– Pollution
– Crime
– Import leakages
– Rising prices (food,
property)
– Congestion
86
Index of Irritation (Doxey, 1975)
• Also called the IRRIDEX
Stages Description
Euphoria Visitors are welcomed
Apathy Visitors are considered a normal thing,
contact is formal
Annoyance Saturation, attitude of locals becomes
more negative
Antagonism Locals express openly irritation at
behavior of tourists
87
What is the total impact and which
impact do we want?
• To reach a desired impact on a destination,
a clear planning policy is needed
• Aim is of course to maximize the positive
impacts and to minimize the negative
impacts
• Tourism development must be aimed at
sustainability, so that it will last
88
Principles of Sustainable Tourism
• Tourism should be blended
with local environment and
community
• Tourist experience focuses
on existing features
• Local ownership
• Local materials and food
• Conservation of resources
Encounter of local population and tourists
89
Product in narrow sense
• Accommodation
– Type: Resort, City

91
Quality in Travel
• Quality is to deliver what you promised
• So make it clear what you are going to
deliver
• Quality is objective: amount of complaints
• Quality is subjective: different persons,
different standards
• Quality is value based: Price / Quality
relation
92

93
Quality = Meeting Expectations
• Expectations are a result of:
– Word of mouth
– Personal needs and objectives
– Past experiences
– Marketing communications
• Expectations are tested in Service Encounter :
Moment of Truth
• Expected Quality < > Perceived Quality
• Result:
• Better - Equal - Below?
94
Reasons for Poor Quality
(5 Gaps Model)
• Consumers Expectations as Perceived by Management
• Translation of Management Perception into Service
Quality Specifications
• Service Quality Specifications into Service Delivery
• Communication to Customers of Service Delivery
• Expected Service and Perceived Service
Discrepancy between
Promise and Actual

– Multi National Companies
– Nationals
• Corporate Agencies: Implants (An agency
within a client’s company)

114
Marketing in Tourism (4 P’s)
• Product
• Promotion
• Price
• Place: Most Important Change!
– Place = Distribution of the Product:
– On-Line vs. Off-Line
– Direct vs. Indirect
– New Customers vs. Retaining Old Customers
115
Distribution is part of Marketing
• Development of Tourism Marketing:
– 1950’s:Mass Market: The Tourist
– 1960’s:Simple Market Segmentation:
Old People
– 1980’s:Multilevel Segmentation:
Wealthy Old People
– 1990’s:Niche Markets: Wealthy Old People
who love to walk
– 2000’s:Markets of One: Long Tail
116
Examples of Market Segmentation
Mass market 1960s – 1970s: The
Tourists (No segmentation)
Simple market segmentation
1980s: Older Couples – Younger
Couples
Multilevel segmentation 1990s:
Wealthy Older Couples
Ethnic Older Couples
Niche markets & Markets of One
2000s: Postal Code & Mr. Johnson
117
What is the Long Tail?
• The Long Tail is:
– A huge offer of single items
– which are each of interest to specific small groups or niches,
– but whose total market-potential is bigger than that of the market-
leader!
• Since ICT today is characterized by:
– Cheap and fast processors
– Cheap data-storage
– High speed data-transmission
– Hugh bandwidth
• It is now possible to store, assemble and distribute huge
inventories of transportation, lodging, ancillary services, etc.
• Needs of any niche market can be satisfied
118

Distribution Models
• Traditional Distribution Chain: Off-line
– “Bricks and Mortar”
• New Distribution Chain: On-Line
(Cybermediaries)
– “Clicks”
• Emerging Distribution Chain: Multi-Channels
– “Bricks and Clicks”
120
Distribution Models
Direct
Off-Line

121
Dynamics in the Travel Industry
• All players have to add value
• If a member of the distribution chain does not add value to
the product or service, then his function is parasitic and, as a
result, he will eventually disappear!
TRENDS:
• De-intermediation (Internet)
• Globalization
• Integration (Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal)
• Increased Scale of Operations
• Home-based Travel Agents (like ‘Tupperware Ladies’)
• Role of Social Media & User Generated Content (like
Tripadvisor)
So Rethinking of Business Processess

  • 13. 13 What is behind all this and is that all there is? Tourists Cruise Ship Attractions & Destinations But there is much, much more …………………
  • 14. 14 The answer: what the pictures don’t show…... • Companies: Hotels, Transport, Travel Agencies, …. • Organizations: Information Services, …. • People: Management, Front Office, …. • Tourists: Needs, Wants, Behavior, …. • Governments: Laws, Subsidies, …. • Politics: Terrorism, …. • Economy: Income, Employment, …. • Society: Norms, Values, …. • Technology: Reservation Systems, Internet, .… • Together THE TOURISM SYSTEM
  • 15. 15 Official Definition of Tourism • The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) defines tourism as follows: • Tourism comprises the activities of persons traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes.
  • 16. 16 Main Characteristics of Definition 1. Activities of People; 2. Displacement outside usual environment; 3. Purpose of the trip; 4. Duration.
  • 17. 17 Does it make more sense now? • Tourism comprises the activities of persons traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes.
  • 19. 19 • The Tourism System is adapted from the model made by Neil Leiper (1979 and 1990); • Leiper emphasized the spatial aspects (tourism generating region, destination region and transit regions). This presentation however, focuses on Demand, Supply and the Intermediate Institutions and Businesses; • Source: Annals of Tourism Research, Vol. 8, Issue 1, p. 69-84; • An introduction to Systems, can be found on Wikipedia; • Old and New Tourism, Old and New Tourists are described in ‘Tourism, Technology and Competitive Strategies’ by Auliana Poon (1993). In an article ‘The New Age of Tourism – And the New Tourist’ Dr. Aparna Raj has summarized the concept of Auliana Poon. Background
  • 20. 20 First: What is a System? In a system, all separate parts perform together to make it function. Each separate part alone is of no use!
  • 21. 21 What is a System? • Something that has parts: Components; • Which are Interrelated; • And which are changing in time: Dynamic; • And what is part of Society: External Environment. • Components of a System are Interrelated, so they influence each other. The System also receives and sends influences from and to the External Enviroment. • Because over time, Components change, Interrelations change and Society changes, so the system changes, making it Dynamic!
  • 22. 22 A Car as an example of a System What makes a system? • Components • Interrelated • Dynamic (Changing) • External Environment • The System (Car) has many Components (like Wheels with Tires), which are Interrelated (Wheel and Car), so they Influence each other. They are Dynamic (Tear and wear), so there is Change. Also the System receives influences from External Environment (Nail on the Road), which causes a flat tire. Also it sends influences (Exhaust Fumes) to the External Environment.
  • 23. 23 Tourism as a System • Components: Tourists, Companies, Destinations; • Interrelated: Supply and Demand; • Dynamics: Nature of Tourism changes over the years; • External Environment: Political, Economical, Social and Technological Factors (PEST) influence and are influenced by Tourism.
  • 24. 24 Is Tourism Dynamic? • Tourism in the recent past: OLD TOURISM: – Travel industry was in charge – Tourists were followers – Focused on attractions • Tourism today: NEW TOURISM: – Consumer is in charge – Tourists know what they want – Focused on experiences • OLD -> NEW: CHANGE = DYNAMIC
  • 25. 25 Characteristics of ‘Old Tourism’ • Paid Holidays; • Start of Economic Growth: Higher Income; • Jet Aircraft, Cheap Charter Flights; • Sun-lust Tourists; • Mass Tourism, Package Tours; • Entrance of Multi National Companies in travel industry (like TUI, Expedia).
  • 26. 26 Some Characteristics of ‘New Tourism’ (starting at the end of 20th Century): • Increased travel experience; • Heavy media exposure (TV, Internet, Twitter, YouTube, ....); • Always Online (Smart Phone, iPad, ….); • Experiences more important than passive sunbathing; • New production and distribution methods: Shift from Business to Consumer (B2C) to Consumer to Consumer (C2C), like Airbnb and Uber; • Attention for environment and sustainability.

This will make more sense later. However, if you are interested, visit the UNWTO website.
  • 32. 32 We will start with the Demand • Demand = Tourists – Effective Demand: Those who can and do – Potential Demand: Those who can, but don’t do it yet – Deferred Demand: Those who can and normally do, but not now for some reason – No Demand: Those who can’t do and won’t do it • Why study Demand? – Product Development – Marketing Purposes
  • 33. 33 The importance of international tourism • The importance of international tourism is measured as follows: – Arrivals: 1.184.000.000 (2015) – Expenditures (USD) 1.274.940.000.000 (2015) • What does this mean? – World population >7.000.000.000 (2015) – Per person (in USD) 182.00!
  • 34. 34 2015 World’s Top 10 Tourism Destinations Source: Wikipedia
  • 35. 35 Definition of a Tourist • Tourists are people who travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. (UNWTO, 1995)
  • 36. 36 A more easy definition? A tourist is a temporary leisured person who voluntarily visits a place away from home for the purpose of experiencing a change. • Time: Temporary • Choice: Voluntarily • Destination: Away from Home • Motivation: Experience
  • 37. 37 Why do people travel at all? • Push Factors: Why go? – Needs and Wants – Self-fulfillment – To learn and to experience • Pull Factors: Why there? – Attractions in destination – Needs and wants fulfillment – Gains: real or perceived!
  • 38. 38 Analyzing the Demand • Quantitative Aspects – How many? – When? – How often? – How do they travel and where do they stay? – How long do they stay? – How much money did they spent? – How and where to? • Qualitative Aspects – Motivation – Composition – Typologies – Life styles
  • 39. 39 The Demand • Quantitative Aspects – How many? – Where to? – When? – Ages? – How often? – From where? – Type of Transportation? – Type of Accommodation? – Spending? – Etc.
  • 40. 40 Statistics • Quantitative Aspects are found in statistics – International Statistics (UNWTO) – National Statistics • Source for Planning and Marketing!
  • 41. 41 The Demand Qualitative Aspects • Composition • Typologies • Norms and Values • Life Style • Behavior
  • 42. 42 Maslow’s needs and motivations Maslow states that there is a hierarchy in human needs. When a lower need is fulfilled, than a person is motivated to pursue a higher need. From low to high he distinguishes the following needs: • Physiological: Relaxation (Rest, Sunlust) • Safety: Security (Health) • Belonging: Love (Togetherness, Roots) • Esteem: Status (Recognition) • Self-Actualization: Be yourself (Self-discovery)
  • 44. 44 Plog’s Typology of Tourists (Stanley Plog, 1974) • Allocentrics: ‘other-centered’ tourists who enjoy exposing themselves to other cultures and new experiences, and are willing to take risks in this process • Psychocentrics: ‘self-centered’ tourists who prefer familiar and risk averse experiences • Midcentrics: ‘average’ tourists whose personality type is a compromise between allocentric and psychocentric traits
  • 46. 46 Plogs Typology of Tourists • Psychocentrics – Familiar Destinations – Traditional Activities – Tour Packages – Looking for Safety • ‘OLD’ TOURISTS • Allocentrics – Exotic Destinations – Discovery – Independent – More Adventurous • ‘NEW’ TOURISTS Link between Type of Tourists and Type of Destination
  • 47. 47 %ofPopulation Familiar destinations Exotic destinations Dynamics: Once Exotic Destinations become Mass Destinations! Plogs Typology of Tourists Shift of Time
  • 48. 48 Plog’s Typology Revisited • Plog modernized his famous typology into personality types: • VENTURERS (Allocentrics) – Venturers – Pioneers – Voyagers • AUTHENTICS (Psychocentrics) – Journeyers – Sightseers – Traditionals
  • 49. 49 Old and New Tourists • Old Tourists (Venturers): – Looking for luxury, glamour, brand names – To relax and to be pampered – LOOKING FOR A REST • New Tourists (Authentics): – Tired of sameness of resorts, hotels – Prefer characater and authenticity – Like to mix with the local community – LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCE
  • 50. 50 Change of a destination: Acapulco (México) From a tiny fishing village into this…….. There are many Acapulco’s in the world!
  • 51. 51 Types of Tourists (After E. Cohen, 1972) • Based upon both the interaction with local population and the use of travel industry – Drifters – Explorers – Individual Mass Tourists – Organized Mass Tourists
  • 52. 52 Typology of E. Cohen Drifter: Adventurous, avoids other tourists, makes no use of tourist services Long-term stay, immerses completely in the local society Explorer: Independent, immerse themselves locally, but rely also on modern amenities. Backpacker, guided by the ‘Lonely Planet’. Individual Mass-Tourist: Uses services of the tourism industry, limited contact with local population Traveling individually, but stays on the ‘beaten track’ Organized Mass-Tourist: Highly dependent on tourist industry, fully organized, no or limited contacts with local population, stays in own environmental bubble; Western-style accommodations, prefers cruise or ‘all- inclusive
  • 53. 53 Business & Leisure Travel • No clear distinction between business and leisure in definitions: • Business Travel: Trips made by those who are required to travel in relation to their work.
  • 54. 54 Types of Business Travelers • Individual Business Travelers: – Sales, Service, Training,….. • Corporate Hospitality (Grand Prix, Sky Box) • Meetings • Incentives • Conferences • Exhibitions / Events Most of the time referred to as MICE

  • 69. 69 Diversified Destination: Spain • Sun, sea, sand • Culture • Old Cities • Nature City of Avila
  • 70. 70 Attraction as a Product Tourism Product: • Intangible • Perishable • Production = Consumption • Producers and consumers are part of product • Not standardized • Core is free • Customers don't buy it, but use it temporarily
  • 71. 71 Product = Experience • Anticipation • Journey to and from • Visit itself • Recollection: A story to tell back home!!
  • 72. 72 Product Levels (After Philip Kotler) • Core Product: Basic need it satisfies • Tangible Product: Product itself: quality, branding, packaging • Augmented Product Intangible benefits, Help Desk, Status •Hamburger (Hunger) •Plate, Seat, Etc. •Coke •Service (Happy Meal)
  • 73. 73 Product Levels • Can you recognize the three levels of this product?
  • 75. 75 Stages Life Cycle of a Destination 1. Exploration: A secret spot is discovered, no or few facilities 2. Involvement: A few locally-run businesses are established 3. Development: A well defined tourism industry is developed. Destination is well promoted 4. Consolidation: Tourism becomes an important or even a dominant feature of the local economy 5. Stagnation: Tourism growth slows down and carrying capacity is reached. The area is no longer a new hotspot, probably it is overbuilt and polluted 6. Decline or Rejuvenation: Decline results as tourists choose other destinations. Rejuvenation typically requires attracting a different kind of tourist and active government support!
  • 76. 76 Pleasure Periphery • Area with popular tourist destinations around the industrial, affluent world. • Driving force is Social Distinction • When a higher social class sees that a lower class is coming to their destination, they depart and look for another place elsewhere. • In time, we see this shift in visitors to a destination: – Upper Class, (Cultural) Elite, Gentry – Upper Middle Class – Mass Tourism
  • 77. 77 Pleasure Periphery • Each main tourist generating region has its own pleasure periphery • This periphery grows with the arrival of new possibilities (available transport, time, money) • There is an end to this growth, because earth is not infinite • There are also overlaps of peripheries of different generating regions: Caribbean (USA & Europe), SE Asia (Europe and Australia) • To retain their exclusivity, higher classes return to previous visited places, however they indulge there in other, more exclusive activities: social distinction!
  • 78. 78 Pleasure Peripheries Europe: • Start 19th Century: – Coastal Areas Britain & North Sea • End 19th Century: – Mediterranean • 1960-ies: – North Africa, Canary Islands • 1990-ies: – Caribbean, S.E. Asia • 21st Century: – Space or back to the coast?
  • 79. 79 Pleasure Peripheries USA • End 19th Century: – East Coast USA: Rhode Island • Start 20th Century: – Florida • 1950-ies: – Mexico, Caribbean, Hawaii • 1990-ies: – S.E. Asia, South America • 21st Century: – Space or back to Rhode Island?
  • 80. 80 Pleasure Periphery • Here today, gone tomorrow Coney Island (New York): Once a bustling entertainment area, now derelict, but…. Alternative Groups from a cultural elite and develop their own things!
  • 81. 81 Here today, gone tomorrow • Both host population and travel industry need stability to assure: – Income & Employment – Safeguarding Environment – Tax revenues • Therefore: – Planning – Sustainability • Benefits and Costs!
  • 82. 82 Destination Development Models • Agents of Development: – Public Sector – Private Sector – Public & Private Partnerships • Typologies: – Spontaneous (Costa Brava) – Integrated (La Plagne, ski resort in French Alps) – Catalystic (Disney in Florida) • Creating Customer Loyalty and Sustainability should always be the guideline!
  • 83. 83 Customer Loyalty High Attachment to Destination Many Return Visits HIGH LOYALS Low Attachment to Destination Many Return Visits SPURIOUS LOYALS High Attachment to Destination Few Return Visits LATENT LOYALS Low Attachment to Destination Few Return Visits LOW LOYALS
  • 84. 84 Impacts of Tourism • Impacts can be either Positive or Negative • Impacts of Tourism on Destination: – Spatial – Economical – Cultural – Environmental – Political – Social
  • 85. 85 Costs and Benefits of Tourism • Benefits – Income (wages, tax) – Employment – Infrastructure – Window on the world for locals – More attention for own environment • Costs – Pollution – Crime – Import leakages – Rising prices (food, property) – Congestion
  • 86. 86 Index of Irritation (Doxey, 1975) • Also called the IRRIDEX Stages Description Euphoria Visitors are welcomed Apathy Visitors are considered a normal thing, contact is formal Annoyance Saturation, attitude of locals becomes more negative Antagonism Locals express openly irritation at behavior of tourists
  • 87. 87 What is the total impact and which impact do we want? • To reach a desired impact on a destination, a clear planning policy is needed • Aim is of course to maximize the positive impacts and to minimize the negative impacts • Tourism development must be aimed at sustainability, so that it will last
  • 88. 88 Principles of Sustainable Tourism • Tourism should be blended with local environment and community • Tourist experience focuses on existing features • Local ownership • Local materials and food • Conservation of resources Encounter of local population and tourists
  • 89. 89 Product in narrow sense • Accommodation – Type: Resort, City – Location & Atmosphere – Concepts: All-suite All-Inclusive Bed & Breakfast – Category: Stars • Restaurants • Information Services (CVB)

  • 91. 91 Quality in Travel • Quality is to deliver what you promised • So make it clear what you are going to deliver • Quality is objective: amount of complaints • Quality is subjective: different persons, different standards • Quality is value based: Price / Quality relation
  • 93. 93 Quality = Meeting Expectations • Expectations are a result of: – Word of mouth – Personal needs and objectives – Past experiences – Marketing communications • Expectations are tested in Service Encounter : Moment of Truth • Expected Quality < > Perceived Quality • Result: • Better - Equal - Below?
  • 94. 94 Reasons for Poor Quality (5 Gaps Model) • Consumers Expectations as Perceived by Management • Translation of Management Perception into Service Quality Specifications • Service Quality Specifications into Service Delivery • Communication to Customers of Service Delivery • Expected Service and Perceived Service Discrepancy between Promise and Actual Product!

  • 121. 121 Dynamics in the Travel Industry • All players have to add value • If a member of the distribution chain does not add value to the product or service, then his function is parasitic and, as a result, he will eventually disappear! TRENDS: • De-intermediation (Internet) • Globalization • Integration (Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal) • Increased Scale of Operations • Home-based Travel Agents (like ‘Tupperware Ladies’) • Role of Social Media & User Generated Content (like Tripadvisor) So Rethinking of Business Processess
