While planning and designing a product, customers’needs, tastes and satisfaction were considered. Growth of competition prompted organisations to frame marketing techniques.
Change in traveling trends also made it necessary to adopt new approach. The emergence of long haul traveler prompted the need for marketing research which studied market trends, consumer behavior and ascertained procedure to make products which satisfied the users of tourism products. Gradual social and economic development culminated in segmentation of mass market into specialized target markets. Tackling these markets needed an approach which was in tune with new times.
Selling and Marketing Selling and Marketing are different concepts. Selling focuses on the needs of the seller while marketing concentrates on buyers’ needs. A marketing oriented organisation focuses on customer needs and earns profits through customer satisfaction. Several organizations in tourism field are product oriented. They emphasise on the available services of products but ignore consumers’ requirements. A marketing oriented tourist organisation has a completely different approach. They offer services around the tourists’ needs.

State budget problems are so dire and rising health care costs so worrisome that some states are considering what may have been unthinkable just a year or two ago -- opting out of the federal Medicaid program. The New York Times reported last week that Texas (see below) and a handful of other states are considering doing exactly that, especially given that federal health care reform will expand (as of 2014) the number of residents who are eligible for the state-administered health care program. In South Carolina, state officials there are considering not paying Medicaid claims as of March 2011 unless they can secure permission to run at a deficit. Some state leaders concede dropping Medicaid could have a devastating effect on their local economies, making such a course unlikely. The fact that it's on the table, however, speaks volumes about the growing problem of runaway health care costs, and the need to develop systematic solutions in the way that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) addressed access issues. Easy To Insure ME has the answers
Health Care Reform Implementation For more detail about the ongoing implementation of the new health care reform law and its potential impact on you, read a new edition of our Eye on Implementation feature.
Federal
With Congress on recess last week, there is no Federal summary for this week.
States
ALASKA: A state health commission created by the legislature this year has begun reviewing rapidly rising medical costs and patterns of health care pricing among providers. Alaska's health care costs are rising faster than the national average. The commission held its first meeting in Anchorage October 14 and 15 after its members were appointed by Gov. Sean Parnell. Most members of the panel were on an earlier health care task force, but this panel has five new members, including two state legislators. In an effort to provide the Commission with relevant cost and quality data, Aetna has forwarded several relevant studies and documents produced by its Public Policy Department.
CALIFORNIA: The state is yet again facing a massive budget deficit -- $25.4 billion projected for 2011, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Office (LAO). Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will call a budget special session starting December 6 to resolve the current-year $6.1 billion deficit. Next year's budget process will be impacted by two propositions passed during the November election. Voters approved Proposition 22, which limits the state's ability to borrow money from local governments, and they also approved Proposition 26, which makes it harder to raise fees. It also rolls back fees that were passed by less than a two-thirds vote this year. The LAO estimates these two propositions will create a $1 billion hole in the budget. Democrat Governor-elect Jerry Brown, who campaigned on a pledge of no new taxes, will release his budget proposal in early January.
NEW JERSEY: Last week the Assembly Financial Institutions & Insurance Committee took up legislation that clarifies out-of-network payment responsibilities under health benefits plans, requires certain coverage and procedure disclosures to consumers, and revises procedures for changes to managed care plan contracts. After more than two hours of testimony, Chairman Schaer used his discretion to withhold formal action on the bill. In his comments the chairman noted, "The rising cost of health coverage is crowding out other socially important efforts for government and resulting in economic stress for employers." Led by the New Jersey Hospital Association and Medical Society, the provider community was virtually unified in its opposition to the legislation. The business community, NJ Association of Health Underwriters, and a large contingent of trade unions expressed their support for the bill. Aetna, along with other commercial plans, remains concerned about provisions in the bill concerning non-participating, hospital-based physicians and the ability of out-of-network providers to waive member copayment, coinsurance, or deductibles. Aetna will continue to closely monitor the legislation.
TENNESSEE: The Tennessee Insurance Exchange Planning Initiative has announced the members of two newly created Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs). Members of these groups will provide expertise on specific analytical questions to help in the state's insurance exchange planning process. The state is in the process of deciding whether it will operate a health insurance exchange. Mark Schmidt, Aetna Market President, Southeast, has been appointed to the Governor's TAG for State Insurance Exchange Planning. The members of the Actuarial/Underwriting TAG and the Agent/Broker TAGs will provide expertise on specific analytical questions to help in the state's insurance exchange planning process. The volunteer members of each TAG will meet in Nashville this fall and winter. Members of the Agent/Broker TAG will provide a detailed inventory of options for state decision-makers and then post any resulting discussion papers. Once additional information is received from the federal government, the state also intends to convene TAGs of health care providers, consumer representatives, and marketing and outreach experts.
TEXAS: Several Republican lawmakers are proposing an unprecedented solution to the state's estimated $25 billion budget shortfall: dropping out of the federal Medicaid program. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, estimates Texas could save $60 billion between 2013 and 2019 by opting out of Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, dropping coverage for acute care but continuing to fund long-term care services. With 3.6 million children, people with disabilities and impoverished Texans enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission will release its own study on the effect of ending the state's participation in the federal match program. Some lawmakers say not being able to reduce benefits or change eligibility to cut costs is "bankrupting our state." State Rep. John Zerwas, an anesthesiologist who authored the bill commissioning the Medicaid study, said early indications are that dropping out of the program would have a tremendous ripple effect monetarily, and he worries about who would carry the burden of care without Medicaid's "financial mechanism." Currently, the Texas program costs $40 billion per biennium, with the federal government footing 60 percent of the bill. As a result of federal health care reform, millions of additional Texans will become eligible for Medicaid. Lawmakers want to examine whether Medicaid enrollees could be served more cost efficiently with better outcomes in a state-run program.
WASHINGTON: Governor Chris Gregoire says she gets the message following the recent elections, and as a result has announced that she will seek supplemental budget cuts of $55 million before the end of the year. Voters signaled a strong aversion to additional tax hikes to balance the budget by recently passing initiative 1053, which restores the two-thirds vote requirement for the legislature to raise taxes, and initiative 1107, which repeals a tax on bottled water and carbonated beverages. Also, voters rejected initiative 1098, which would have instituted a state income tax. Among the programs Gregoire is considering for possible cuts is the state's Basic Health Plan. The Governor said she is open to the idea of a one-day special session if there is agreement with legislative leaders on quick action.

Check out package deals
Look into package deals with your hotel reservations and/or car rentals. Combined, it is possible to save hundreds of dollars when purchasing package deals. However, before you do purchase a package deal, check on your own to see what the prices would be to purchase each separately.

A new experience this year is taking a river barge cruise on Song Xanh and discovering floating market, enjoying exotic food and meeting friendly people. Tourists can travel upstream to Mekong River, cruise on a "rustic sampan" (a customised, luxury version) on the mighty Mekong River. It's a great escape from Saigon.
You can choose from one, two or three night packages for $265 to $427 per person. Experience an exclusive trip on the Mekong Delta with an unforgettable candlelight dinner and overnight stay on boat. The tour departs Ho Chi Minh City to Cai Be floating market, Vinh Long and Sa Dec, down beautiful canals through water jacinth plantations and past French style villas and Chinese temples.
During the cruise, fresh cotton towels, exotic seasonal fruits, hot green tea and two bottles of mineral water will be served daily free of charge. Tour prices include all private transportation and transfers, on-board English or French speaking guides, daily breakfast, full board meals as indicated in the itinerary, bicycle rental and rowing, admission fees and permits where applicable.
Sapa and Bac Ha Market.
Now tourists can book a helicopter tour from Hanoi to Bac Ha just to see the weekend market! If you have more time, you can take the overnight train to Lao Cai then travel onto Bac Ha and visit Can Cau market on Saturday then Bac Ha Market on Sunday.
Sapa is a must-see destination to bring home unique handicrafts, post card pictures and experiences and memories of a lifetime. It takes at least five days to make a perfect tour to the northern hill tribes and markets. In Vietnamese culture, the market place is an important meeting gathering point, not simply as a place for trading. This concept has always remained with Vietnamese culture. There is not one child who does not want his or her mother to take him or her to the market.
Why? Because many people live in remote areas and work hard in the fields or elsewhere to make a living. People have few opportunities to meet friends, relatives or neighbours. So a market is a great place to fulfil those needs. There is always a lot of excitement and joy associated with the market place environment. The trips will introduce the most colourful markets of hill tribes living in North Vietnam.
You will encounter many interesting people, and visit their villages that are located at the foot of Vietnam's highest mountain, Mount Fansipan. Tour costs from $70 to $938 per person, including all transportation and transfers, English or French speaking guide, accommodation shared in twin/double room with daily breakfast, all entrance fees, meals as stated in the tour programme, taxes and service charges.
Con Dao Island
As a former prison island, Con Dao was hell in the past, but now it's paradise for travellers.
The Six Senses Con Dao has just opened its doors for luxury travellers. Sun, sand, sea, sounds, seafood and sightseeing… all you need for a dream vacation you can find here.
Resting in the quiet waters of the Eastern Sea, the Con Dao archipelago remains a little-known gem, 180km off the coast of Southeast Vietnam.
Swathes of white sand form breeding grounds for turtles and visiting dugong herds, while the inland teems with bird life and the chatter of monkeys and squirrels.
Six Senses has chosen Con Son Island as the location of its next Hideaway resort for this unspoilt beauty and ecological opportunities. The island covers an area of 70sqkm with 5,000 inhabitants. The pristine Dat Doc beach lies 8km from Con Son Airport, in a national park encompassing both marine and terrestrial resources.
The caress of a warm sea breeze, an exotic fruit cocktail by your side and the lulling sound of waves on the shoreline: barefoot tourism has brought new demands for impeccable standards in exotic, far flung destinations, standards that Evason Hideaway resorts can deliver.
Con Dao will be the sixth Evason Hideaway resort, the boutique category of the luxury Evason brand. Each Hideaway combines the intrinsic values of the destination with the height of luxurious, contemporary lifestyle.
Con Dao will take the usual Evason eco-friendly philosophy a few footsteps further, and lead a new style of environmentally sustainable resort, from construction materials to energy-saving wizardry.
Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park
If you'd like to discover caves, a beautiful national park, and stay on the beach, you can take a tour to Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park and stay at the stunning Sun Spa Resort in Quang Binh province.
Vietnam Airlines offers flights from Hanoi and Saigon. This destination is easily accessed from Hue, Danang or even Hanoi by car. The best time to come is in the summer time but book in advance as that is also peak season for Vietnamese holiday makers.
Phu Yen
Vietnam Airlines offers daily flights from Saigon and Hanoi to Phu Yen, making this beach destination much more accessible. Hideaway Bai Tram is the perfect resort for relaxing and unwinding with seven unique private pool villas, nestled on a 90 hectare plot in an isolated and secluded bay with a 900m-long private white sand beach.
Located on the coast just south of Qui Nhon by a 45 minutes drive from Qui Nhon airport and is reached by a scenic drive from Nha Trang, Phu Yen is highlighted with almost-untouched natural beauties and attractions. Especially, Phu Yen is celebrating the National Tourism Year 2011 so there are many activities. Come and experience for yourself!

Internet Eases Travel Tourism Industry Communication
Imagine having numerous travel consultants and agent all over the world and one can talk and communicate with them so easily. This is amazing. Indeed the Internet is one of the most fascinating innovations of the century. You can access any information or transmit messages across the world in a flash. To get on the Internet populary known as
the Net you simply connect your computer to the International net work via an Internet service or access . Once you are on line connected to the Net your computer can talk to any other computer on the Internet.
Before the internet came around the table the fax and telephone was looked as the major and best way to communicate. As I talk am inUganda a third world country where internet started around 1998. By this time I was already in the tourism sector but confirming safari was not as easy as it is today. It was not easy to deal with your customer/clients directly. It was a must to use an agent in different parts of the world in order to realize sales. We had to travel globally to have that physical contact and establish that trust between the ground tour operatorand the agent. As if that was not enough, the Travel Agent also had to fly to make sure that he is dealing with real operator. Though Internet also has its short comings, but for those who understand it can easily locate the country, city, location by latitudes and longitudes using the IPS address. Thus this eliminates the doubt where one is located. There those who use satellite addresses but still one can tell.
By mid 1998 there were about 14 million Internet users world wide. Today more than 800 million have access to the Internet. This innovation favors most the travel and tourism sector very much and of the 800 million users tourism may account for 45%.The Net has become a fast growing tool for communication .The Internet demands a completely new way of doing business. It is now possible to send large amounts of information to a practically unlimited number of addressees recipients round the world. People can communicate and work with others in a rapid and simple way.
Fast data transfer automatically results in higher levels of quality and increases the speed of transactions connected with any given project. Today many people exploit the opportunities for business. For example some people transact their entire deals on line.
When it comes to Travel industry, internet has become the most needed tool today. Talk of airlines booking air tickets on line, hotel and lodge reservation on line, and above all the process of payments done on line using credit cards has made this industry very enjoyable.
People can have access via Internet the products/goods/services they wish to ordered, explains engineer Fred Okullo a communications specialist. In terms of tourism services , safaris are being confirmed every the other time. Holiday and vacation makers do not have to worry much as services are just away from a mouse click of computer. We continue to confirm many Uganda tours of gorilla trackinggame viewing and many more using this facility. on the Every stage of the of the value chain can be Internet based. Information on product development the manufacture of goods and services and the entire logistics chain associated with supply and delivery can be accessed through the Net.
The Internet was commercially introduced in Uganda at about the same time as cellular telephony services. Like in other countries the demand for Internet Services in Uganda has increased. Twelve years ago there were only two Internet Services Providers ISPs. Currently there 17 ISPs and 13 infrastructure provider lincensees with a mandate to provide voice and data services according to the Uganda Communications Commission UCC The Commission regulates Internet services among others
There is an Internet Point of presence POP at all district headquarters and there has been an increase in the deployment of wireless access infrastructure based on WIFI wimMAX hostspots .
All this has made the Uganda tourism and the world over a global village where one can communicate so easily and achieve his targets within shortest possible time.
