MANAGEMENT OF TOURIST COMPANIES ON THE MODERN TOURIST MARKET

PhD. Slobodan CEROVIĆ

Faculty of Natural Sciences, Department for Geography, Catering and Hotel Management University of Novi Sad, Serbia

Substantial differences characterize modern trends on the tourist market in the period before and after 1990. There is almost no country in the world that does not reckon seriously with tourism in its economic development. The modern-day tourist is an increasingly "spoiled" consumer of tourist services and his/her requirements are specific and partial. The higher standard of living of the population and an ever greater amount of leisure time, as well as the development of transport technology and service technology in general accounted for important changes in the demand, bringing about considerable changes in the supply, primarily in the adaptation of the tourist product to the requirements of an increasingly sophisticated demand and the changes in the process of marketing management and application. This paper focuses on modern trends on the tourist market and the necessity to apply the knowledge of modern management and marketing. Key words: Tourism, management, strategy, marketing, globalism.

A recent obvious strategy for a big number of international hotels groups is to disinvest. This is a technique named "sale and lease back" or sale and management back , suggesting the sale of some hotel units, followed by francize or management contract, kipping the hotels under the same brand. If we add the francizing expansion, it result an important tendency for the biggest hotel companies to reduce the financial implication and immobilization. This tendency is present also in the Romanian hospitality industry, wich confront with an important francize and management contract expansion. The preference for one or other form of exploitation is based on the company general strategy and even on the trust given to the partner for hotel brand representation. The paper shows those tendencies with specific statistical dates and recent informations.  

 

UTILIZAREA TEHNOLOGIILOR INFORMAŢIEI ÎN FUNDAMENTAREA DECIZIILOR PRIVIND PROIECTELE COMPLEXE DIN DOMENIUL TURISMULUI ÎN CONDIŢII DE RISC.

Profesor univ. dr. Marian ZAHARIA

Universitatea Româno-Americană Bucureşti, România

Sometimes, managers have to make decision when they have little knowledge about the field consequences of their action. If we imagine a scale, at one of its ends one may say that a decision has been made under certainty conditions and at the other end decisions are made under uncertainty conditions. When the certainty conditions are not present, but we trust our intuition regarding the possibility of any condition to appear, one may say that decision-making is performed under risk condition. If we refer only to economic decisional processes, we actually come across risk conditions in all fields. Thus, we have: estimate operation risk, contractual operation risk, investment risk, insurance risk, making risk, assets risk and so on. Managerial situations involving a complex of interrelated activities can be modeled as networks. Of a special interest among the network models are the Program Evaluation Review Technique(PERT) and the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the recently Microsoft Project. The paper presents some aspects of decisional issues which appear within the tourist field, based on the above mentioned tools.

Lector univ.dr. Claudia-Elena ŢUCLEA

Academia de Studii Economice Bucureşti, România

The internal marketing represents a particular approach of marketing and human resources management, too. This is a „human" marketing; it consists in an ensemble of methods, and techniques, witch, applied in an established order, will increase the enterprise's efficiency, in the interest of both clients and employees. Internal marketing has a market to conquer: the ensemble of employees and its characteristics (experience, culture, knowledge, and skills). It has a product to sell (the organization and its image, the managers, the activities, work conditions, enterprise's products and services) and a commercial relationship between man and organization (social purposes – the enrichment of human capital).

All the countries recognized the social and economic importance of ecoturism, by declaring the year 2004 as the International Year of Ecoturism. At the same time, the UN general Assembly wished to draw the attention of governments and the international community in general about the potential of this tourism segment to generate impacts, both positive and negative, on the natural environment, the conservation of biodiversity, and social and cultural fabrics of host communities. Therefore, governments, the private sector, the communities and the tourists are invited to exert greater efforts in order for ecoturism to become a mayor contributor to sustainable development, instead of posing a new barrier to sustainability.
