Many countries are now dependent on this sector for foreign currency earnings. Every destination country is trying to achieve more gain by developing this industry. The expansion of the tourism through out the world has increased competition among the tourist destinations, trying to attract more tourists by adopting appropriate marketing techniques and strategies.

...CUTTING EDGE: OUR WEEKLY ANALYSIS OF MARKETING NEWS 12 March 2014 Welcome to our weekly analysis of the most useful marketing news for CIM, CAM and Sales Leadership Alliance members. Quick links to sections Marketing trends and issues Advertising Consumer perceptions of expense This study examines whether consumers make judgments about brands not just on the basis of what is communicated in advertising but on how the message is communicated. In particular it investigates the effect of perceived advertising expense and effort of the advertiser. An analysis of 4,000 consumers reveals that ads with higher-thanaverage perceived expense and effort have a positive effect on brand attitude, brand interest and word-of-mouth. In contrast ads with lower perceived expense have negative effects. International Journal of Advertising.

Their data indicates that digital revenues grew at their fastest rate since 2008; this has been attributed to the rise of mobile, since advertising on smartphones rose by 60% in the last quarter of 2013.

...P1 – Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of two contrasting businesses The first Business I have chosen is British Airways, because of my interest in travelling. Also, I thought it’d be a very interesting and different company to choose and base my research on. British Airways, often shortened to BA, is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom and it is the largest airline in the United Kingdom based on fleet size. When measured by passengers carried, it is second-largest in United Kingdom, behind EasyJet. The airline is based in Waterside near its main hub at London Heathrow Airport. A British Airways Board was established by the United Kingdom government in 1972 to manage the two nationalized airline corporations, British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways, and two smaller, regional airlines, Cambrian Airways, from Cardiff, and Northeast Airlines, from Newcastle upon Tyne. On 31 March 1974, all four companies were merged to form British Airways. After almost 13 years as a state company, British Airways was privatized in February 1987 as part of a wider privatization plan by the Conservative government. The carrier soon expanded with the acquisition of British Caledonian in 1987, followed by Dan-Air in 1992 and British Midland International in 2012. British Airways is a founding member of the Oneworld airline alliance, along with American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas, and the now defunct Canadian Airlines. The alliance has...

...CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW ON HOTEL INDUSTRY This chapter outlines the concept of hotel industry. It presents the overview of hotel industry, its history and it also discusses about the growth and trend of the hotel industry nowadays.

...FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHIES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND ALBERT EINSTEIN, THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE BIOGRAPHY OF STEVE JOBS. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing offlimits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and...

The last generation to be unaugmented. The last generation to be intellectually alone. The last generation to be limited by our bodies. We are the first. The first generation to be augmented. The first generation to be intellectually together. The first generation to be limited only by our imaginations. We stand both before and after, balancing on the razor edge of the Event Horizon of the Singularity. That this sublime juxtapositional tautology has gone unnoticed until now is itself remarkable. We're so exquisitely privileged to be living in this time, to be born right on the precipice of the greatest paradigm shift in human history, the only thing that approaches the importance of that reality is finding like minds that realize the same, and being able to make some connection with them.
