TOURISM MARKETS
• Buyers and Travelers from around the planet consume products around the globe!
• We have to be aware that Tourism is the only industry in which the consumer needs to be transported to the product!
![Page 3: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARKET WE ARE FOCUSED AT
TO MEET THEIR NEEDS
Products Development
The (Natural) Resources become products featuring special characteristics to meet the
market needs
![Page 4: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
EXAMPLE OF TRASFORMATION FROM A RESOURCE TO A PRODUCT
The following example has as a goal to see the difference between a resource and a
final product.

NATURAL RESOURCESCacao…
Not ready yet to meet the Market needs
It needs to go through a transformation
process or “added value”
![Page 6: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PRODUCTSChocolate… it has been transformed to meet the market needs!

NATURAL ATTRACTIONSAs it happens with the commercial products, in tourism, the natural attractions need special features to become a tourism product so they can meet the market needs!
![Page 8: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EXAMPLE OF TRASFORMATION OF A RESOURCE INTO A TOURISM PRODUCT
The next one is an example to explain how a Tourism Product can be created, it does not
necessary mean that it has to be done this way, but it aims to picture in a clear way the adding
value process.

NATURAL ATTRACTIONGuayaquil, EcuadorNot a Tourism product yet; it still needs:Infrastructure & facilities + Activities
![Page 10: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM PRODUCTS
Once we have decided we will work in EcoTourism we have to be aware that we need
to transform our natural resources into sustainable tourism products;
we need to add Value:
Infrastructure & facilities + Activities
… and here is the moment when everybody panics!
![Page 12: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THE 1’ MILLION DOLLARS QUESTIONHow to add value to a place without affecting it…
![Page 13: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
When thinking about Tourism infrastructure, facilities & services we have toconsider that they will be created to improve the visitor’s experience; but alsobuilt and operated according to the characteristics of the place andsustainable principles.
![Page 14: Presentation for ESTC15 Great Experience](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/58a978c31a28ab0a0a8b5889/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TOURISM AND CONSERVATION
The Essence of “EcoTourism”
The delicate balance between tourism activities; education, research and
conservation

TOURISM AND CONSERVATION ARE MORE POWERFUL WHEN WORKING TOGETHER
1 + 1 = 3
The results of the Team Work are a lot Greater than the work done by each part individually

the Marketing and Promotion actions…
