How to Select Holiday Spots and Experience?

Posted on September 7, 2010 by admin

The main objective of this study was to discover and compare choice behaviors of different types of customers for particular local and foreign destinations providing a specific set of vacation experiences.

The main objectives are as follows:

1. To compare how different parts of Australian tourism customers from three metropolitan areas such as Sydney Perth and Melbourne, respond to foreign and domestic holiday tour experiences.

2. To find out how such responses varies s a function of the way in which their existing destination image (i.e., Sydney Perth and Melbourne) or particular tour experiences are presented.

If the tourist spots would lose or gain choice share, they promote specific experiences.  And also test about how the perceived value of particular vacations offers, and anticipated travel behaviors while selecting choosing these offers, differ between destinations.

3. The last objective is to find out how these methods differ across broad segments in the population of Australian tourism customers based on travel experience and behavioral variables.

Methodology

In order to achieve these goals, there was need of an online survey. About 4000 people respond to this survey. The survey had an experimental task in which the people (respondents) were presented with a holiday option scenario in which they obtained a hypothetical voucher for a vacation to be chosen from a limited set of choices.

After reading the voucher conditions most of the people indicated their holiday destination preferences  which is given the scenario conditions. Nearly half of the people could at first only select between named holiday destinations whereas other half select only between holiday experience types. Having firstly chosen a preferred tourism experience or a preferred holiday destination, subsequent stages in the controlled option experiment provided extra information about every choice alternative in a way that allowed studying how information and holiday attributes shaped decisions through the option process.

2010 Dining Trends

Posted on September 6, 2010 by admin

Joseph Baum and Michael Whiteman Company create high class restaurants all over the world for restaurant companies, hotels, consumer destinations and major museums. Some of their two dining trends predictions for 2010 are as follows:

Latest Priorities for the Beaten-Up Customers

Most of the hotels and restaurants are finding new ways in order to attract the beaten up customers and they are connecting to communities and building good rapport.

Putting focus on the left side of the menu

As is mentioned above, you have to look for more creative things, more portion options, more small plate, things prepared for single or two or more. One of the important things is sharing. Sharing is the main thing which responds to customer’s requirements for safety and comfort, for friendship and intimacy. This has to be put in the right side of the menu.

Upscaling the Downscale

Steakhouse sales dropped 25 percent 30 percent since preceding year, and hundred dollars bottles of drinks gather dust. As expected there is increase in the sales of steakhouse products not because they are cheap.

Fresh-Local-Handmade-Safer-Better

Farmers markets are becoming more and more popular even though the price is high the customers prefer farmer products since they are fresh – local-handmade-safer –better products.

Fried Chicken is the New Pork Belly

Highly fiend crispy chicken is now becoming more and more popular all over the US market. Several restaurant and hotels started making chicken more fried and crispy which provides great taste.

Putting in Good Additives Instead of Taking out Nasty Ones

Now most of the food companies adding good and natural additives to their food products, which are more beautiful and healthier.

They Laughed When We Said ‘Tongue’

Last year of the bloggers said that we had gone crazy by predicting that tongue- veal and beef-would be hot in 2009.  The fact is that some of the restaurants and savvy chefs are making dishes from tongue, oxtail, chicken gizzards, pork cheeks, tripe and from other odd items.

The French national passion for good food means that eating out in Paris is always going to be a pleasure. Most restaurants serve French cuisine but there is also a range of other national foods which are represented in the city such as Chinese, Vietnamese, North African, Italian and Greek. Although there are restaurants and cafes all over the city, some areas have a more plentiful supply than others.

The area around the Champs-Elysees and Madeleine has lots of fast food outlets and over-priced cafes along with some very good, expensive restaurants. Montparnasse is good for 1920s style cafes and smaller bistros whilst the Left Bank contains lots of restaurants of all types, particularly in the tourist areas around St Germain des Pres and the Latin Quarter.

Around the Opera you will find some good brasseries and if you are looking for trendy, small bistros and tea salons then head for the fashionable Marais and Bastille areas.

For more ethnic cuisine there is a high concentration of Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants in the area south of Place dItalie and in Belleville. Belleville, to the east of Paris, is also packed with small North African restaurants.
