Tourism is facing new challenges. The number of tourists in the world is increasing, new segments are emerging and their flows are shifting. 'Tourism's New Markets: Drivers, details and directions' explores these new segments and markets and all their different needs, interests and cultures. Emerging markets are in countries with an increasing economic performance (such as Asia and the Middle East) and with the largest populations (including India, China, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico)and it is expected that other emerging source markets will add to those recently observed from the giants (China and Russian Federation) as major tourist newcomers. Changes such as an ageing population, the growth of megalopolises and the decline of the traditional nuclear family lead to the creation of new market segments, all which have new interests and demands. This edited volume looks at the consumer needs of seniors, millennials, pleasure tourists, singleton tourists, Muslim travellers, nationality based cohorts as well as cross-generational segments, luxury travel and unique special interest groups amongst others. With contributions from international experts in the field, 'Tourism's New Markets: Drivers, details and directions' provides a research-led perspective to: * Explore and understand emerging markets and segments * Identify the most effective marketing strategies to build emerging markets and segments * Create a body of knowledge that shapes the boundaries of marketing to reach an orientalised and market perspective * Compare developing markets with emerging ones * Offer a global perspective of marketing and tourists' behaviours and build a comparative framework of developed and emerging markets * Develop a new research framework to excel in emerging markets A must have volume for higher level undergraduates, graduate students and practitioners in the fields of tourism, it is contextualised throughout with international case studies and examples to provide a real world perspective.

The marketing of a destination requires effective planning and organization to engage prospective visitors. However, adequately marketing a destination requires not only a knowledge of the marketing channels but also an in-depth understanding of the motives and facilitators of tourism. Strategic Perspectives in Destination Marketing is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of branding in the tourism, travel, and hospitality industry sectors. It explores the pedagogical applications of socio-economic, environmental, and technological impacts of tourism through various regional-focused empirical studies and contemporary discussions. While highlighting topics including destination authenticity, consumer behavior, online travel businesses, and tourism promotion, this book is ideally designed for managers, travel agents, tourism professionals, executives, marketing agencies, academicians, researchers, and graduate-level students seeking current research on the applications of branding strategies in the tourism sector.

Far removed from the markets they're meant to serve, insensitive to market needs, inflexible in how they do business, America's oliuopolistic corporations are terrorizing consumers. The result is that the American market system does not work as it should, and indeed, performs far below its potential. Samli argues that the system should not be treated as though it were sacrosanct. Indeed, it must be made to do more than it is doing to encourage competition and create consumer value--things it neglects, says Samli, because of a mistaken notion that laissez-fairism is working well, and that in today's free economy things are just fine. Not so, and corporations are actually suffering on their bottom lines. By creating true consumer value and by stopping their headlong rush to merge and thereby decrease competition, corporations can achieve their profit goals more easily, and even establish higher ones. The trick is to pay more attention to their customers, to be more responsive to their needs and wishes, and in Samli's words, to turn a kinder and gentler face to the world. His book is a challenging, provocative declaration for policy makers in the public and private sectors, and for academics, an important adjunct to their studies of how business, government, and society interact.

First, says Samli, merger mania must stop. Government must exercise its full power to protect, inform, and educate consumers--and take care that business, unchecked, does not prey upon them. He cites evidence that consumers are not equal, that many are frail and vulnerable, and that in many markets they are simply being ignored. Samli maintains that far from being hostile to business, he sees business as actually working against itself. If business thinks of, and works for, the benefit of the consumer, if it eschews strategies that simply cut costs and contribute to self-enlargement, consumers will become empowered. In fact, Samli calls for more regulation, not less, and for more competition. He also calls for consumers who are better educated, and for the nation to cultivate its resources--human and environmental--in ways that will enhance economic performance, not only for society that depends on corporations, but for corporations themselves that depend on society.

The goal of this book is to deal, in a provocative way, with a number of key issues involving the increased participation of the private sector within cultural tourism. My goal is not to write a complete overview of the field. Instead, this short book deals with a fairly circumscribed set of issues involving contemporary changes within cultural tourism. Since modern business largely focuses on serving customers, a major focus of this book concerns marketing thought and its implications in regard to cultural tourism. In large measure, this book seeks to help host communities and their advocates to become familiar with and comfortable within a private sector context as well as being able to interact in such an environment. The book starts with a two-chapter introduction that focuses upon the distinctive role of cultural tourism. As emphasized in chapter 1, a dilemma arises because cultural tourism must simultaneously serve multiple stakeholders and do so in equitable ways. This is much more complex than the more typical task of concentrating upon the needs, wants, and desires of customers. These ideas are refined in chapter 2 where the discussion centers primarily upon the importance of serving host communities, in addition to customers. Certainly, catering to customers continues to be an issue, but it should be envisioned as an ad hoc method of serving the host community.

This management book documents the remarkable transformation of DSM, first from a coal mining company to a commodity chemicals producer and then in the last two decades to the life sciences & materials sciences company it is today, with its strong focus on biotechnology. The book gives an inside view on the 'strategic learning cycles' that have driven this evolutionary transformation. It also discusses the company traits that have contributed to its ability to adapt, grow and prosper. Renowned business schools such as IMD and Babson have accompanied the second transformation of DSM through their executive education programs. The book documents this support and draws lessons for long-term collaboration between companies and the business school world.

In today's busy world, museums compete for visitors not only with other museums, but also with a worthy selection of cultural institutions from performing arts to libraries. Add to these magnets a slew of enticing leisure activities, from theme parks to jogging trails. Given a weekend afternoon with a little free time to spare, a prospective visitor has a tempting selection of destinations to choose from. Branding a museum helps it stand out from the crowd by giving it an image and personality with which visitors and supporters can identify, increasing their emotional attachment and encouraging them to return. In Museum Branding, Wallace offers clear, practical advice on how to brand a museum department by department, step by step. By highlighting case studies from museums of every type and size, she emphasizes that brains, not budget, create a successful branding effort. This new edition is heavily updated to reflect digital branding from start-to-finish and features three entirely new chapters: *Public Relations and Social Media *Theaters, Conservation Labs, and Visible Storage Spaces *Databases

With this book, organizations can develop effective marketing strategies for serving the older consumer market. Assistance is provided in the form of information and recommendations for marketing action. Existing knowledge is summarized and additional information from a large-scale study is presented to fill gaps in existing knowledge. Using the strategic framework familiar to marketers, information is organized and presented as it may apply to specific stages in the strategic marketing process; key issues are raised and information is presented to address them. Intended for the busy marketer who needs access to state-of-the art knowledge and its implications for marketing strategy development, the book includes information on the mature market, market segmentation and market targeting, as well as analysis of older consumers' behavior with respect to areas of the strategic marketing process.

The book begins with information relevant to the analysis of the mature market, such as size and wealth, and how this market differs from younger consumer groups. Next, it presents information useful in analyzing opportunities that exist within this market in the form of unfilled needs, as well as information related to segmentation and target marketing. Analysis of market behavior is presented next, focusing on financial and consumption lifestyles. The bulk of the information presented in this book is on consumers' orientations toward business offerings and strategies, focusing on analyses of older consumer responses in all areas of the marketing mix--i.e., new product development, pricing, distribution and promotion, and recommending specific courses of action. Finally, an effort is made to summarize the information, using a strategic marketing framework, and to make recommendations on how to market to older consumers.
