Expansion incessante du tourisme international • De 25 millions en 1950 à 694 millions • Moyenne de croissance 1990-2003 : 3,3 % / an • Moyenne du taux annuel de croissance : • 1950-1960: 10,6 % • 1960-1970: 9,1 % • 1970-1980: 5,6 % • 1980-1990: 4,8 % • 1990-2000: 4,2 %
The maindeterminants • economic factors • comparative prices • demographic • geographic • socio- cultural attitudes to tourism • mobility • government/regulatory • media communications • information and communication technology
Economic factors • Disposable and discretionary income • 30 countries of origin account for over 90% of world travel • Income elasticity of demand: the market is judged to be elastic • Income distribution • Expectations • Marginaldiscretionaryspending
Comparativeprices • price or perceived price of a destination is very important • exchange rate ( see rates $ to £ or €) • comparative level of inflation in the destination and country of origin • price of oil
DEMAND Trends • Globalisation • Fragmentation • Growing importance of eco-tourism • Changed values • Changing lifestyles (e.g. bourgeois bohemian) • More independent tourists as opposed to mass tourism • New types of holidays and special interest • quality-consciousness (value for money) • More experienced and educated holidaymakers • More flexible tourists • From products to experience • Enough is enough

The more demandingconsumer • more affluent • better educated • more healthy and more interested in active pursuits • older • more travelled • more exposed to the media and information • more computer literate • more heterogeneous and individualistic • more culturally diverse in terms of ethnic origin
Staggering of holidays • Why? • consumer interest • social aspect • public expenditure • employment • inefficient use of tourism assets • ecological factors • Why concentration? • climate • School-holidays ( most important factor) • organization annual leaves in business • psychological factors
How tosolveconcentration? • German rolling system • Complementary measures • promotion off season • price policy • accompanied measures in the tourist centres • Final considerations • European solution? • Staggering and price

Typology of markets Number of buyers a few one many bilateral one monopoly monopoly number suppliers a few oligopoly many monopsony oligopsony competition
TOURISM SUPPLY AND MARKET STRUCTURE • PERFECT COMPETITION • MONOPOLY • MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION • OLIGOPOLY
OLIGOPOLY • SMALL NUMBER OF PRODUCERS DOMINATE THE INDUSTRY ( e.g. INTERNATIONAL AIRLINE INDUSTRY). • EACH FIRM HAS SOME CONTROL OVER ITS PRICE AND OUTPUT DECISIONS AND THERE ARE SOME BARRIERS TO ENTRY AND EXIT. • THE KEY CHARACTERISTIC IS THE INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN PRODUCERS SO THAT EACH FIRM’S PRICE AND OUTPUT DECISIONS DEPEND, IN PART, ON THOSE OF ITS COMPETITORS. • THE PREVAILING MARKET PRICE IS THE PROFIT-MAXIMIZING PRICE FOR THE FIRM
MARKET STRUCTURES AND ACCOMODATION • GREAT DIVERSITY • LARGE CHAIN HOTELS BUT HOLIDIDAY TOURISM IS MOSTLY FRAGMENTED • WIDE RANGE IN QUALITY (CAMPING, TIMESHARE) • FIXED CAPACITY: • HIGH FIXED COSTS DRIVE OPERATORS TO ATTAIN HIGH OCCUPANCY RATES THROUGH SUCH DEVICES AS DIFFERENTIATION AND SEGMENTATION. THESE CHARACTERISTICS TEND TO INVOLVE ELEMENTS BOTH MONOPOLY AND OLIGOPOLY (e.g; LUXURY)
MARKET STRUCTURES AND TO • IN USA AND IN EUROPE THERE ARE SOME LARGE PLAYERS; THEY CONTROL A LARGE SHARE OF THE MARKET • LOW ENTRY COST • FIERCE COMPETITION, LOW MARGINS • ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND SCOPE • THE DEGREE OF CONCENTRATION OF MARKET SHARE IN THE PACKAGE HOLIDAY SEGMENT SUGGESTS AN OLIGOPOLISTIC STUCTURE (REALITY IS MORE COMPLEX; NICHE PLAYERS)
MARKET STRUCTURES AND TA • RELATIVE HIGH CONCENTRATION - FIRM WITH MULTIPLE OUTLETS ( IN UK 5 CONTROL A THIRD) SOME ARE INTEGRATED WITH TOS OR CARRIERS • LOW ENTRY COSTS • ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND SCOPE • LOCATION IS IMPORTANT • OLIGOPOLISTIC AND COMPETITIVE SITUATIONS
MARKET STRUCTURES AND AIRLINES • AIRLINES ARE HIGH FIXED COST ENTERPRISES WITH FIXED CAPACITIES - HIGH PAYLOADS • SHORT-HAUL FLIGHTS ARE RELATIVELY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN LONG-HAUL CARRIAGE ( FEWER HOURS IN THE AIR) • TO MAXIMIZE THE PAYLOAD THE AIRLINES APPLY ‘YIELD MANAGEMENT’ (IS AKIN TO PERFECTLY DISCRIMINATING MONOPOLY PRICING) • MORE CONCENTRATION IS LIKELY- HIGHER PRICES • OLIGOPOLISTIC MARKET; SOMETIMES MONOPOLY POWERS
CONCENTRATION MOVEMENT • AIR CARRIERS • AIR FRANCE - KLM • BRITISH AIRWAYS - IBERIA • UNITED – CONTINENTAL • AIRLINE ALLIANCES • STAR ALLIANCE • SKY TEAM • ONEWORLD • TOUR-OPERATING • HOTEL SECTOR
TYPES OF ALLIANCES • COMPLEMENTARY ALLIANCES • PARALLEL ALLIANCES
ALLIANCES AND IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY AND SERVICES OF AIRLINES • JOINT PROCUREMENT • JOINT OPERATIONS • JOINT BACK OFFICE • CO-MARKETING • CO-SERVICES
ALLIANCES AND COST-REDUCTION OPPORTUNITIES • FINANCE AND UTILIZATION • AIRLINE OPERATION • EXTERNAL ( e.g. AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURERS) • RISK-SHARING
ALLIANCES AND CONSUMERS • ‘SEAMLESS’ TRAVEL (SERVING A LARGE NUMBER OF CITIES) • ITINERARY AND ROUTING CHOICES • FREQUENCY AND CONVENIENCE OF CONNECTING • CONSUMERS CAN BENEFIT FROM LOWER FARES
MOVEMENTS IN THE HOTEL SECTOR • GROWING CONCENTRATION • FRANCHISING/INCREASING CHAIN PENETATION: TOP TEN BRAND COMPANIES
