Two weeks ago I attended the African Travel Association’s Second Annual Presidential Forum on Tourism at New York University. The forum, organized by the ATA - a global travel trade association promoting tourism to Africa - and hosted by NYU’s Africa House, was put together to provide African leaders from Tanzania, Ghana, Cape Verde, Lesotho, Zambia, Malawi, and Rwanda with the opportunity to “present the continent’s rich travel opportunities to almost 200 leaders from government, non-government and business communities, the tourism industry, travel trade media, and education”.

HOW TO DEMOGRAPHICALLY AND GEOGRAPHICALY SEGMENT THE MARKET FOR EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION.
I have talked about segmenting the market before, but it does not hurt to repeat. This is because segmenting your market makes you focus on what you want to do for your business and what is your target market profile. This is by understanding which market segments you are going to attack and which ones you are going to ignore. Segmenting the market is a step by step process, but before be get to that process we need to understand two different ways that we can segment the market for business development as well as for advertisement, promotions and community social responsibility.

Waiting for a Pullback!
The past week in gold, silver, oil, natural gas and the broad market wasn’t anything to write home about. We are seeing controlled profit taking which is making the market choppy. Many traders are getting very bearish on the market which is a good thing in my opinion. According to my market internals, sentiment and volume analysis we should get a shake out (sharp dip) which would make traders exit their positions before the market continues higher.

Market Analysis Template
When looking into a new business proposition or else brainstorming for your current market a market analysis template can be used rather effectively. What this does is break down your market segment into clearly defining traits that your market has to help you figure out how to better serve you customers. There are more than a few market analysis templates floating around for free, a simple web search will net you more than you would ever use. However, an understanding of the components that make up a market analysis template and making sure you have everything you need in place can be very helpful. I just so happen to have a few ideas on that.

Alternative ways to market your tourism business

Partnering with a related organisation may be an effective way to get your name out there and do good business throughout the year.

Online Entrepreneur – Opportunity to embrace the new trend
The last business that I failed in was in the holiday and tourism industry. I had partnered with 2 other friends in selling timeshare packages to the market. The money seemed good, the business plan was drawn out and we got on with the game. However, the economic downturn hit and out went the sales. No one was interested in buying up vacation packages when all they had on their mind was survival. You can say ‘Wrong timing’ or ‘Ignorance of Economic Trends’ was the cause of the downfall. It did cost me a bit of money – office rent, office furniture and fixtures, brochure design and printing, etc. And that’s when I went broke the second time in my life!

Best Travel Agent Programs
The travel industry is rapidly increasing every year and more people are coming to realize the benefits of becoming a travel agent.

You can easily run your business from home because the internet and a course in one of the best travel agent programs is all you need to create a booming travel agent business.

Innovation and Organizational Learning Pathways and Pitfalls: Part 3 of 3
Make sure that you and people throughout your organization spend lots of time in external benchmarking and "corporate tourism" mode, looking for good ideas to swipe. Many of the opportunities or problems you're facing now are old hat to somebody somewhere. Learning from other people's experiences - both the successes and the failures - can take years and millions of dollars off your learning curve.
