Rules of the game • You must understand government policy relating to your industry • Most policy is discussed for months and sometimes years in advance • You going to monitor these potential changes that could seriously affect the viability of your business
Economic • home economy situation • overseas economies • general taxation issues • taxation specific to product/services • seasonality/weather issues • market and trade cycles • specific industry factors • market routes and distribution trends • customer/end-user drivers • interest and exchange rates • international trade/monetary issues
Economic Environment • The most common approach to the study of economics of tourism is to divide it into two major areas: • Supply (destination resources) • Demand (people or market)
Supply • Movements away from the market equilibrium cause inefficiencies • Undersupply of product, leads to high prices and profit loading, with not everyone being able to buy what they wish, frustration • Oversupply of product leads to low prices and questionable sustainability, empty rooms, unused capacity, inefficiency of investment
Demand Demand = Motivators x Facilitors Resistance Factors
Economic Factors affecting demand • Disposable Income • Inflation • Interest rates (including Official Cash rates) • Employment • Foreign Exchange Rates • Non-economic Factors • Health • Time
Socio-Cultural Impacts • People and their attitudes are the focus of socio-cultural impacts.
Social • lifestyle trends • demographics • consumer attitudes and opinions • media views • law changes affecting social factors • brand, company, technology image • consumer buying patterns • fashion and role models • major events and influences • buying access and trends • ethnic/religious factors • advertising and publicity • ethical issues • trinketisation • overcrowding • corruption
Technology • Scan and evaluate horizon looking for changes in technology that will enhance business • More to technology than just computer technology • Think faster, lighter, stronger, • Think of how you can make your customers ability to book easier! • If you aren’t innovating I bet your competitors are!
Technological • competing technology development • research funding • associated/dependent technologies • replacement technology/solutions • maturity of technology • manufacturing maturity and capacity • information and communications • consumer buying mechanisms/technology • technology legislation • innovation potential • technology access, licensing, patents • intellectual property issues • global communications • research and development
Advancements in Communications • Internet • Smartphones • Tablets • Laptops • Wi-fi • Accessibility • Viral marketing • Blogs • Forums • Youtube
Eco Tourism • ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION • Protect natural assets • Conserve resources • Maintain cultural assets • Protect lifestyle • Monitor Impacts • Set limits to change
Aging Population • Over 50% of the discretionary spending power • boomers accounting for about 80% of all leisure travel • 10,000 Baby Boomers will reach the age of 65 every day for the next 18 years
Globalisation • International Competition • Legislative requirements across Borders • Passport and Visa obligations • Diversity of staff • Cultural misunderstanding • Company structure
