A macro environment refers to the set of conditions that exist in the economy as a
whole, rather than in a particular sector or region. In general, the macro environment
includes trends in the gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, employment, spending,
and monetary and fiscal policy. The macro-environment is closely linked to the
general business cycle as opposed to the performance of an individual business sector.

After the systematic segmentation of the market, the marketers must focus on
the appropriate market whom they can sell the products and who will respond
positively to their marketing strategies. In the target market selection process
following points must be considered: Evaluation of the segment and Selection of the
segment.
- After evaluating the different market segment, the organisation should decide
on selecting the most appropriate segment. Since the competition is high it is essential
for the marketers to search new ways of targeting the customers. Let us see how
toselect a market segment.
- Single segment concentration: Here the marketer selects a single segment. For
example if the organisation has chosen a segment on the basis of demography (age)
only for the z generation for adventure tours in Himachal Pradesh. The positive thing
of selecting this single target market may lead to advantage like high sales as all the
marketing efforts are put on the single segment and improving the product to match
the preferences of the customers. The negative thing on the other hand is if the z
generation stops patronizing the product the organisation has to face the loss.
- Full market coverage: Here the company targets the full market rather than the
specific ones. Here no segment is left untargeted. For example if the organisation has
developed adventure tourism product i.e white water rafting it selects all the segment
based on the demography, Psychology, geography behavior etc.
Marketers have to develop approaches for target market which will ensure them
profit. The approaches which should be taken into consideration are the market
growth, competitive intensity, market access, segment profitability and the marketing
mix strategy.
- To check out the market growth of the segment to be targeted the company
has to do market research. For example if ministry of tourism has opted for geographic
segmentation for developing Buddhist tourism in India. For this it has selected Japan
as a target market. Firstly a research has to be done on the infrastructure India has for
Japanese tourists e.g. Japanese food or Japanese speaking tourist guides etc .Secondly
the brand image perceived and the intension to travel must also be studied. Thirdly
research on the statistics of the people who follow Buddhism religion in Japan must
also be done. Moreover their paying capacity will also be useful to predetermine the
success of the segment selected.
- Considering the same example above, India tourism must evaluate the
competitive intensity to market Buddhist tourism destinations for the Japanese tourist
as there are many competitors having similar Buddhist sites like India. For example if
India has world Heritage sites of Ajanta and Ellora caves depicting Buddhist religion
in the form of fresco paintings, China too has Dunhuang caves depicting similar cave
paintings. Therefore competitive intensity related to developing uniqueness in the
Buddhist tourism products and services and brand image needs to be evaluated which
targeting the market.
2.5.3. Market Access
- Cost of reaching the market is often the deciding factor for the segment we
have chosen to target. Considering again the same example above it is very important
to see how accessible it is for the Japanese tourists to reach the Buddhist tourism sites
in India. India being a big country in terms of size, proper communication through
proper channels must be done relating to the airlines, roadways and other
transportation to the Japanese tourist.
- Lastly target market and positioning strategies must include all aspects of the
marketing mix like Product, Price, Promotion and Place, Protection. If any of the
marketing mixes is not matched with identified segments it can lead to a complete
economic loss. Let us see this with an example of wild life tourism. If India has
selected any European country as a target market for wild life tourism products,
emphasis must be given on

4.1. Factors affecting the travel and tourism management system
4.1.1. Internal
• Each business needs to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses periodically.
• Management or an outside consultant reviews the business’s marketing,
financial, manufacturing, and organizational competencies.
• Each factor is rated as to whether it is a major strength, minor strength, neutral
factor, minor weakness, or major weakness.
• A company with strong marketing capability would probably show up with
the ten marketing factors all rated as major strengths.
• Sometimes a business does poorly not because its department lacks the
required strengths, but because employees do not work together as a team.
- in some hospitality companies, salespeople are viewed as overpaid
playboys & playgirls who produce business by practically giving it away
to customers
- salespeople often view those in operations as incompetent dolts who
consistently foul up their orders and provide poor customer service
• It is critically important to assess interdepartmental working relationships as
part of the internal environmental audit.
4.1.2.External
• A business unit must monitor forces that will affect its ability to earn profits in
the marketplace
- macroenvironmental forces (demographic-economic, technological,
political-legal, and social-cultural)
- microenvironmental forces (customers, competitors, distribution
channels, and supplies)
• For each trend or development, management needs to identify the implied
opportunities and threats.
• The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 brought sudden awareness to the
hospitality/tourism industry of the impact such events can have on travel.
• The emergence of China, India, and Eastern Europe as new industrial and
political powers is seriously affecting hospitality/tourism in unforeseen ways.
- high quality health care combined with low cost in countries such as
India has created a new segment of tourism known as medical tourism
• In today’s rapidly changing environment, external environmental threats and
opportunities have taken on new importance in strategic planning.
Strengths (S):
Strengths are internal attributes that are intrinsic to your business, and you have
control over them. They represent the positive aspects of your organisation that
provide you with an advantage. When considering strengths for your tourism business,
think about attributes such as:
● Unique Selling Points: What sets your tourism business apart? It could be your
location, the experiences you offer, or your exceptional customer service.
● Quality of Service: Assess the level of service you provide. Do you have a
strong reputation for delivering exceptional experiences to your guests?
● Loyal Customer Base: Consider the number of repeat customers. A strong base
of loyal guests is a significant strength.
● Resource Availability: What resources do you have, both tangible and
intangible, that contribute to your success?
● Expertise and Skills: Evaluate the skills and expertise of your team, which can
be a vital strength.
Weaknesses (W):
Weaknesses are internal aspects that can hinder your business's success.
These factors represent limitations or areas that need improvement within your
organisation. As you identify weaknesses in your tourism business, think about
elements such as:
Opportunities (O):
Opportunities are external factors beyond your tourism business control but can be
favourable for your business. These factors exist outside your business and can create
opportunities for growth and success. When identifying opportunities, consider aspects
such as:
● Market Trends: Identify emerging trends in the tourism industry, such as eco-
tourism or experiential travel.
● Collaboration: Look for opportunities to collaborate with local businesses,
attractions, regional, state and national tourism industry bodies or online travel
agencies (OTAs).
● Digital Marketing: Explore the potential of leveraging digital marketing and
online booking platforms.
● Government Incentives: Investigate any government grants or incentives related
to tourism.
● Diversification: Can you diversify your product or services, such as adding
adventure packages or event hosting, to tap into new customer segments?
● Local Events and Festivals: Capitalise on local events and festivals to boost
bookings during peak seasons.
Threats (T):
Threats are external factors that can pose potential risks or challenges to your
business. These factors, like opportunities, are beyond your immediate control but can
impact your business negatively. When identifying threats to your tourism business,
think about elements such as:

4.3. Environment analysis:
Tourism has seen a boom in recent times. This has a lot to do with the rising economic
capabilities of the middle class. Human behavior has also changed towards being more
extravagant through traveling. But there are many factors that affect the tourism
industry globally and there are threats to it as well. Tourism is one of the primary
aspects that promote intercultural harmony. This is also a strong addition to any
country’s economy.
Friendly Borders
Most of the governments across the world have their borders open for citizens of other
countries. Tourists can visit most of the world if they can afford it, and this has really
provided a major boost to the tourism industry. Certain countries don’t even require a
visa to travel to them, allowing for an even further tourist-friendly atmosphere.
Political Stability
Countries that are under civil wars or oppressive regimes are often tourist unfriendly.
But thanks to the political stability across the world people are able to visit those
countries and increase the tourist economies.
Government Regulations
Certain governments allow for pro-tourist regulations, such as paying for objects
purchased in a foreign country or visa fee waiver, etc. Such regulations also provide
an additional boost to the tourist psyche and economic capability as well.
As the global economy grows, the income levels of those who were previously unable
to afford international tourism are now able to do so. Since living expenses are
growing slower than purchase power, people are able to afford luxuries such as
tourism. Such economic growth is expected to remain and the tourism industry will
only be provided with benefits from it.
Companies such as Uber and AirBnB are changing the way people travel. They have
presented economic models that are more consumer-friendly, and thus is making
tourism more accessible to people. Businesses on such a model are known as sharing
economies. We expect further use of such economies in the future.
Trend Aspect
Tourism has become a trend for the younger generation, and social media has a lot to
do with this. While tourism was most considered as a form of wanderlust or bonding
experience, it is now a means to express social class and purchasing power through
social media. This factor produces a peer pressure that has recently provided a boost
towards the tourism industry.
Interracial Harmony
The world has become more racially conscious and this has helped people from rather
marginal cultures to be able to travel more freely. There are still areas where certain
races are looked down upon but as governments modernize, more of the world will
become accessible to such races.
Cultural Inquisitiveness
People are becoming more aware of other cultures in the world and thus they want to
visit those places and experience those cultures as well. People in India are learning
Spanish and traveling to South America and people in Russia and learning Chinese to
travel to China. This form of knowledge-growth-oriented inclination towards traveling
was not common for the middle class in previous eras.
The transport industry has received a major upgrade in recent times due to the new and
improved forms of transport services. More airplanes are now available for consumers
to access. Moreover, there are also cheaper options available which provide further
access to middle-class travelers. Airports have also become more advanced and air
tickets can be purchased in a click.
Availability of Information
People can now get to know about places across the world through their smart devices.
Travel blogs help people get the information to make the necessary journey which
they otherwise wouldn’t be able to make. Technology is helping people get from one
place to another with as much ease as possible. This has really improved the
conditions of the tourism industry.
Gaining a Visa was a time consuming and lengthy legal process. But now applying for
and receiving a Visa is accessible to almost everyone around the world. And since
most of the world borders are open to tourists, governments readily provide tourist
Visas since it boosts the economy as well. Other legal processes concerning tourism
have also become more hassle-free for consumers to take advantage of.
Tourist Loans
Many banks now provide loans for tourism purposes. These loans are highly helpful to
the everyday person in being able to tour internationally.
The rising tourism levels across the world have also led to a massive increment in
pollution levels from airplanes, ships, and other vehicles. Many climate change
activists are supporting the concept of reduction in tourism to deal with the issue. The
transportation industry is currently under heavy fire from critiques regarding usage of
options that heavily pollute the environment.
Humans are a negligent lot, and they tend to carry their litter with them wherever they
go. Pollution caused by the rise in tourism is destroying many beaches and coral reefs.
As the number of tourists across the world increases governments are expected to take
up strict action to regulate pollution levels caused by humans visiting tourist spots.
So, these are the primary pestle analysis factors that are affecting the tourism industry
as a whole. It is absolutely clear that this industry will grow in the recent future due to
the various economic, technological, and political advantages. However, pollution is a
major factor that has to be dealt with for this industry to become more ethical.

#Political-Factors-Affecting-Tourism-Industry
- Buy-in and consensus, from the wide range of public and private sector
stakeholders that will be needed for successful strategy execution.
- Detailed action plans that clearly define timelines, responsibilities, and
the human and financial resources that will be required for plan
implementation.
- A focus on demand-driven solutions. While policy frameworks, training,
and infrastructure development are all important components of a
comprehensive tourism development plan, increased demand is the
primary and ultimately the only sustainable driver of more frequent and
affordable airlift, product diversification, and improved service delivery.
1. Prepare
• Visioning

In each of these areas, you will need to review and build on what is already in
place—vision and mission statements, agency‐ and/or state ‐wide assessments, and
input from ongoing groups of internal and external stakeholders already engaged in
planning.

To develop the plan, you must establish priorities by considering the needs,
strengths, and resources of your organization. Three key questions must be answered:
