DESTINATION MARKETING
The term marketing is derived from the word market, it is a process dealing with the behavior of the market not only companies but also customers. It therefore focuses on market variables, supply and demand. From the beginnings of marketing development, it was mainly the supply side, where the main subject of interest was how much and what will be produced. Over time, however, the process has resolved on the demand side, ie customers, and therefore customers, have become the focus of every manufacturer who wanted to succeed in the market.
Time has only recently revealed that customers are much more important for the company, which is why management through marketing began to focus primarily on this part of the market. With practical experience, various marketing activities and tools used to this day have been developed, with which entrepreneurs are trying to gain as many customers as possible, resp. higher market share and thus outperform their competitors.
The creation of a marketing strategy and the choice of appropriate tools for its implementation should be carried out by experienced and qualified marketers, as this is a very demanding and extensive process.
The main goals include the use of the potential of human needs and arouse in the customer such desires that will convince him to visit the destination. Another goal of marketing is the care and respect for the customer to be convinced of the next visit to the destination.
Key elements of destination marketing
The strategy developed by the governing body defines what the organization would like to achieve, where it would like to move in the market and who it would like to address. The essence of a successful strategy is that its set goals will be met.
4P vs 8P
The original form of the marketing mix includes four basic components (4P), ie product, price, distribution and promotion. Later, four additional components are added to destination marketing, including service packing, people, programming, and partnerships. This creates so-called marketing 8P. All eight of these elements of the marketing mix form the perfect combination of destination management. However, the most important element is the product, which forms the essence of the whole process.
