Produktutveckling - från idé till genomförande

skillnader i arbetsprocess mellan små och stora resebyråer


Tourism has been an expanding market since the first travel agency started in the middle of the 18?Th century, and today it is a global industry, with intensified competition and high demands from the customers. Product development is therefore one of the most important aspects for successful companies, and scientists also agree that the first stages in product development are the most critical. This essay is focusing on those stages, regarding product development on travel agencies, and the research question is as follows: How are new tourism destinations developed and what is the difference in working process between small and big travel agencies? The empirical research consists of qualitative semi-structured interviews with two big and two small travel agencies. The results show that none of the travel agencies are working in a strategic way with product development, even though the theoretical research recommends a structured and planned process. The major differences between big and small travel agencies are within the areas target groups, research, product concept and decision making.
