If you are deciding to visit somewhere you interest on, how can you make sure about those destination?
Study the
case from Thailand destination example according to Thailand Development and
Research Institute (TDRI) showed that “About 31 percent of international
tourists obtained information about Thailand from their friends. Only 15 percent
got the information from tour operators whereas about 12 percent got
information from both sources. To attract those who have not yet decided their
holiday destination, it is necessary to impress the tourist already in
Thailand. However a survey in 1990-1991 by the Intrama World Destination
Monitor put Thailand second only to Hong Kong as a place where 1,450 tour
operator around the world said tourists were likely to be cheated or
overcharged in Asia. India came in third. Italy was considered to be the number
one country in the world where tourists were most likely to be cheated.”
Obviously from the example case, the most influential
source of information for tourists’ decision-making about their vacation is the
information that obtain from their friend and tour operators. The information
could be the most impact for the tourist who are making their plans for the destinations,
if they absorb a good detail of the information then those information could be
a earned the money to the country, but if they absorb a bad detail information then
those information will be also much effect to the country because the tourism business
is one main economy of each country even in Thailand. How much tourist and how
worth each country is, it’s depending on how good spreading out on that country
do. So the tourism organization should promote all good things the country have
and also do service and whatever as good as the advertising.
As the example case above, From the survey in 1990 –
1991 by the INTRAMA world destination
Monitor put Thailand second as a place where the tourist were likely to be
cheated or overcharged , it is the effect to the tourism in Thailand be course when the tourist obtain this information they will have
a hard time to make decision to come to and visited Thailand
To solving the problem of the information spreading in
bad way should start from the country’s action in term of human behaviors and
ethic in each to do what is right to do for the foreigner tourist, the
information get from the fact, if people who get involve in the tourism industry
or business realize of this, a good way in formation will be obtained and we
will become the one interested destination for the foreigner tourist to making
decision to come so far.
