MARKET
Target Market
• A target market is a group of customers (individuals,
households or organisations), for which an organisation
designs, implements and maintains a marketing mix suitable for
the needs and preferences of that group. Target marketing goes
against the grain of mass marketing.
• Market volume and characteristics influence that kind of amenities and
services that are offered in the destination.
• The Japanese comprised the first wave of international tourists in the
Philippines in the 1970’s, and this resulted in the boom of Japanese
restaurants. Many tour guide tried to learn the Japanese language as well.
• The second wave, which started in the late 1980’s , was the Koreans.
• Again, this was accompanied by the rise of Korean restaurants, karaoke, and
grocery stores.
• Gold clubs have many Koreans as members.
• The present wave is from China, and judging from the past experience, this will
also result in the provision of tourism products that meet the needs of Chinese
travelers.
• The Chinese have already dislodged the Koreans as the biggest nationality
group in Boracay (Gerry Panga, personal communication, March 2014).
