CHAPTER -1

INTRODUCTION

TOURISM

“Tourism” is the totality of the relationship and phenomenon arising from travel

and stay strangers the stay does not imply the establishment of a residence and connected

with remunerated activity.

IMPORTANCE OF TOURISM

In creating better appreciation of other people’s ways of the life and institution, tourism

may create goodwill for a country. Each year many tourist travel to participate in

particular events ranging from congress to corona tings; their visits also afford

opportunities to improve co-operation as well as project the correct image of a country to

the out side world.

Politics, society, education, and culture thus often provide motivations for tourist to travel

away from home, they influence tourism and tourism in turn has an influence on them.

These factors also help explain participation in tourism generally as we have seen. An

evaluation of the significance of tourism may be extending to such aspects as organized

sport and religion.

The main economic significance of tourism-that money earned in places of normal

residence is spent in places visited-is common to all tourism, whether domestic or

1
international. Each year vast sums are transferred from the economy from whom it is

earned, to economies in receiving areas where they provide a source of income, a means

of livelihood, and amenities for the resident population.

The outstanding economic effect of tourism lies in the purchasing to spend at a much

bigger rate than when they are at home. The flow of money generated by tourist

expenditure finds its way into the overall economy of the tourist destination, as the

money is turned over and re-spent. But international tourist expenditure introduces an

additional aspect of economic significance, as countries, which have separate political

and economic entities, have to balance their transactions with the rest of the world.

International tourism, therefore, enters into the balance of payments accounts of

individual countries and ease of major significance in international trade. For countries,

which generate tourist traffic, it represents an import, in much the same way, as the

import of merchandise. Globally tourism countries are a major item in world trade, which

has shown a much faster rate of growth in recent years than trade in goods.

Tourism is evaluated mainly in terms of its economic significance, but reference is made

also to its role as source of other, less quantifiable, benefits and to some of the problems

which tourism presents to individual destinations.

When traveling away from home, tourists come in contact with places they visit and with

their inhabitance, and so social exchanges take place. Their presence and their social

background affects the social structure and mode of life at the destination. Tourists are in

2
turn affected by the experiences and often carry back home with them new habits and

new outlook on life.

Tourism has an educational significance. In the wider sense it has the altogether

beneficial effect which contact between people of different races and nationalities can

bring about. In a narrow sense much tourist activity takes the form of study trips and

attendance at courses and conferences with specified educational aims in view.

Tourism is often accompanied by cultural exchange and by cultural enrichment of those

who travel as well as those at the receiving end. The cultural factors that may attract

tourists to a particular destination are architecture, historical monuments and birthplaces

of famous people. These are some of the places most visited by the tourists. Festivals and

exhibition rely heavily to visitor traffic as their audience.

Tourism can be classified into:

a. Tourists visit places for recreational purposes. Such tourists spots are usually

hill stations, beaches etc, such tourists like to get away from the daily grind of life

and freshen themselves.

b. CULTURAL TOURISM:

Such type of tourist satisfies the cultural curiosity of the tourist. Such tourist spots

include ancient monuments, places of historical and religious importance etc.

3
c. ADVENTURE/SPORTS:

This type of tourism is very particular with the youth. This type provides people

to have adventure like diving, skiing, rafting etc.

d. HEALTH

Such type of tourism takes people to places of recovery like places with curative

possibilities. E.g.: Hill-Stations, hot springs, spas etc.

e. CONVENTION/EDUCATIONAL:

Tourism such as these are meant for organizing conventions for political, cultural

or academic reasons.

Tourism can also be classified on basis of region:

Domestic:

Domestic tourism is for tourists belonging to their own country and do not require

any papers or documentation for travel.

International:

Such type of tourism refers top traveling to other countries other than their own

and with different political and economic systems. This requires documents such as visa,

passports, etc , to cross the borders.

MODERN TRENDS IN TOURISM

Spread over a land mass of 324 million sq.kms with a population of around

million, with at the rote of about 13 million every year, with 14 major and 20 not

languages and 845 dialects, each state habits, religious customs and festivals.

For a foregone visitors to indo, it some how gets on his blood. Love it or not. One

can never ignore India. One visit to India can never satisfy the thirst of screening visitor

and when back in his/her place , desire to get back there.

India is luxurious country. Some places are featureless as some spectacular, the

food can be terrible as it is magnificent and the country defies imagination and cold logic.

There is diversity and get unity.

This is India of the Indus valley civilization; there is also Bharat, the land of

Emperor Bharatha.

It mixture of natural beautiful and diversity of culture attracts a lot of tourism.

India is a country where tourists can enjoy the adventure of Himalayas and the beauty of

the sea. They can explore the desert and jungle of Assam. Behind this terrific beauty,

India has a never-ending culture, religion, temples, church and mosques. Tourism in India

is presently the 3rd largest after gum and jewellery and ready-made garments.

The fettle of India tourism is not very attractive when compared to the world

scenario. The annual foreign tourist arrival in India is 2 million where as the foreign

5
exchange earnings touched Rs. 70 billion. Most of the India tourism thrives on domestic

tourism. Each year, 100 million domestic tourist criss-cross the borders of the states.

The government of India had put forward some strategy on order to improve this

sector. Now the Indian tourism exchange industry has become the 11th largest foreign

exchange earner of the world and during 1997-1998 the estimation made on the earnings

of foreign exchange was Rs. 11032/- Crore. Tourism budget has been increased from 100

Crore to 160 Crore recently and the government has also helped in their organization of

visit India year 1999-2000 which boost up the industry.

The government, in collaboration with Rajasthan tourism had put forward the

Palace of Wheels. It is a luxury train with 14 deluxe saloons.

The train covers 8 destinations in 7 days. In February 1995, the Gujarath tourism

launched a similar train called Royal Orient which is centrally air-conditioned.

Tourism industry in India shows a positive trend for the future and with the

developments as well as those, which will occur in future, will without any doubt shoot

up the industry.

RECOMMENDED MARKETING MIX

Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing,

promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy

individual and organizational objectives. The marketing mix refers to the appointment of

the effort, the combination, the design and integration of elements of marketing in to a

program, which is on the basis of an appraisals of the marketing forces, will vest achieve

the objective of an enterprise of a given time.

MARKETING MIX:

In common parlance, marketing is the process of selling something at a shop or

market place. A market is regarded as a single or an aggregated or relationship between

consumers and producers who are separated by place and time and have a potential to

strike an exchange of goods and services. Marketing is concerned with business and the

functions, product planning, pricing, selling and advertising.

When the functions mentioned above are interlocked in a planned and systematic

manner to attain a given objective. They merge their identity in what is called the

marketing mix in short; it just means the mixing of marketing ingredients, which are also

popularly known as the four P’s viz.

25
 Adequate advertising, sales, promotion and personnel selling to create interest and

design for the product among customers for the proposed hotel can be based upon the

concept of the customer segment aimed at promote the market strategy.

The four basic aspect of marketing are:

• Place

• Product

• Price

• Promotion

An optional marketing mix, hence involves from a creative blinding of ingredients

or elements, so that the product or services is offered to the market under the conditions

most favorable to the attainment of marketing objectives.

PLACE:

The place can define as “The aggregate of forces or conditions within which

buyers and sellers make decision that result in the transfer of goods can be segmented

geographically into:

• Region or place

• Climate

26
 In the geographic base, regional differences in terms of topography, climate,

population and its density, from the base for market segmentation and differentiated

marketing effort.

Choosing the right location is an important and vital decision for any hospitality business.

Certain factors have to be taken into account to decide the right place. Some of the

factors that decided the selection of proposed hotel place are:

 Railway station and bus stand are 5Kms respectively.

 Main City is just 2 km from the proposed site.

 Easy accessibility to town area.

 PRODUCT:

A product is a bundle of utilities and accompanying services. The proposed three star

hotel would be a three-floor building with the following facilities.

 Car Parking

 Banquet Facilities

 Telephone in all Rooms

 TV with Channels in all Rooms

 Central Air Conditioning system

 Multi- Cuisine Restaurant

 Bar

 24 Hours Room Service

27
 The important features of the hotel are that it will have 20Single Rooms, 20 Double

rooms , 5 Suite rooms The hotel will have a Multi-cuisine restaurant with 50 covers, and

a bar with 30 covers. The hotel and staff will be at their best services to their customers.

PROMOTION:

To make the product and price known and acceptable to the target customers, it is

essential to communicate, persuade and motivate them. Promotion can be effected

through,

 Personal Selling

 Advertisement

 Sales Promotion

 Public Relation

PERSONAL SELLING:

The hotels sales persons, who are on its customers so as to make an offer of sale,

motivate them to positively respond to it and finally clinch the ideal.

ADVERTISING:

The proposed hotel prompted through advertisements, by giving complementary

to the guest and also by suggesting other 3* and 4* hotels by suggesting the name of the

hotel if the guest has his company here, so that it is easily accessible in the same way the

28
proposed hotel also in return will help. Advertisement could be referred to as the use of

mass communication media to influence existing or potential through newspaper, T V

ads. Etc.

Advertisements will have positive effects such as:

 It will help to raise awareness about the company.

 To increase safer for the company.

 To create favorable image and confidence of company.

The various elements of advertising are joint media,

RADIO ADVERTISING AND OUT DOOR ADVERTISERS PRINT MEDIA:

Newspaper and magazine have a great effect on influencing the people. An

alternative advertisement given in the newspaper or magazine will influence the

people. Such advertisements are already targeted at particular market segment; there

is a large reading audience.

OUT DOOR ADVERTISEMENT:

This type of advertisements covers large number of people with low experiences.

The sales can also be promoted by giving discounts to the regular customer. As the

proposed hotel is mostly targeting on air travelers, it is suggested to have a airport

facilitator to guide to gust and even canvas people for the hotel. The hotel will provide

29
pick up and drop to guest from the airport, and also will have tips with air lines for the

staff and customers in cause of stop over and delay of flight etc.

l will be offering its facilities at nominal rates. The off-heard saying “5 star

facilities at 3 star rates” would be a reality as far as The Destiny would be concerned.

The pricing strategy will naturally depend on what the proposed hotel offering,

the facilities available in the hotel etc. Another factor to be considered when pricing of

rooms and out lets are low is to compare it with the competitions. It should be less that of

the competitions.

30
 CHAPTER -7

The market survey conducted at Trivandrum revealed good scope for the

establishment of a four star hotel. The conclusions regarding the viability of three star

hotels.

This place occupies a unique position in all Indian scenario. Various factors have

made a Trivandrum wonderful place to visit.

The activities develop in the city more because of the better facilities in hotel with

good rooms, food, services and good conferences, banquet halls accommodating many

people at a time. The development of this region has also made it possible for the

hoteliers satisfy with their share of profits. But the tourist’s activities are so much that the

city will require a few more star hotels.

the even distribution of accommodation and improving its infrastructure. The tourism

departments are encouraging hotel projects so it would be easy to obtain necessary

licenses.

market. The proposed hotel can expect a good occupancy. Considering the entire

favorable factor it is concluded that a 3 star hotel is easily and scope for marketing the

hospitality product is excellent.
