Commnication
New technologies permit the supply
of information with great dynamics, quality and
economy. The number of publications,
announcements and media companies is growing and
influencing commercialization models, while
interfering in the relationship and in the
distance between the company and customer,
besides altering traditional tourist
commercialization. Electronic media, Internet,
radio and television possess low cost
distribution all of which embrace the most
distant places. The media provide
information about attractions, activities,
guides, communities, transportation, agents,
local operators, and other necessary information
so that a tourist can organize his own trip.
We attach the Internet and the tools
of Direct Marketing, with all the communication
possibilities and the information traffic in two
directions: company--> customer and
customer--> company. These mechanisms approach
the company customer and future customers,
reducing agents' support; they facilitate
the direct sale, with dynamism and efficiency.
Direct Marketing and the Internet
facilitate research and organization of a
trip for the independent tourist, multiplying
destinies and possibilities while at the same
time decreasing the sale cost of transport
companies and local operators.
The Internet propitiates economic
communication at all times. It facilitates
tourist expression; openly criticizing or
eulogizing companies and services, through the
e-mail, discussion groups, murals or
announcements.
To develop communication and to turn
it free doesn't mean to exclude travel
agencies; tourists that prefer to have trips
organized by agencies exist, in function of the
comfort, time, economy or need to travel in
groups. Even so, to differ, to improve and to
increase services is a great challenge for all
agents; that is necessary to act in this market
in transformation.
Tour operators, located close to the
attractions need to adapt to this new
communication reality. The lack of information
distances its possible customer, that for not to
know them or not to discover them, they can
decide on other destinations where the
information is better assembled.
