Targeting the Mature Traveler - Developing Strategies for an Emerging Market (Paperback)

This book provides a profile of the mature travel market based on recent research by review sites such as Silver Travel Advisor, tour operators and agents, and national press. It identifies recent trends and potential growth areas in destinations/ types of holiday and what criteria holidaymakers use when planning a holiday. It also considers how the final choice is made by the customer, the range of options available for researching and comparing what is available, and ways they make their final booking. Different approaches to collecting and collating customer data are considered alongside demographic profiles globally, leading to a range of strategic marketing options for those in the tourism and travel industry. It includes discussion of different types of holiday - such as city breaks/ cruises (a growing market)/ solo travel/ special interest breaks - and examples or case studies from tour operators about what they offer to target this "mature travel" sector. Travel trends are identified for 2020 and beyond, based on statistical analysis from various sources. Note that there are significant changes taking place globally as the coronavirus becomes a pandemic, but the strategic approach identified here still forms a sound basis for taking the industry forward. Whether you are a student on a university course covering Travel and Tourism, part of the global Travel Agency network, a Tour Operator, or provider of other products and services, this book covers the underpinning profile of what is on offer, who the potential customer is within the mature age group of 50+, what they are looking for and, ultimately, strategies to inform and encourage them to buy. The reference section at the end provides information on those who have contributed to this study, and where more detailed examples of successful strategies and methods of targeting the mature travel market can be followed up.
