MARKET STRUCTURES AND PRICING

28

TOURISM SUPPLY AND MARKET STRUCTURE

• PERFECT COMPETITION

• MONOPOLY

• MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION

• OLIGOPOLY

29

OLIGOPOLY

• SMALL NUMBER OF PRODUCERS DOMINATE THE INDUSTRY

( e.g. INTERNATIONAL AIRLINE INDUSTRY).

• EACH FIRM HAS SOME CONTROL OVER ITS PRICE AND OUTPUT DECISIONS AND THERE ARE SOME BARRIERS TO ENTRY AND EXIT.

• THE KEY CHARACTERISTIC IS THE INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN PRODUCERS SO THAT EACH FIRM’S PRICE AND OUTPUT DECISIONS DEPEND, IN PART, ON THOSE OF ITS COMPETITORS.

• THE PREVAILING MARKET PRICE IS THE PROFIT-MAXIMIZING PRICE FOR THE FIRM

30

31

MARKET STRUCTURES AND ACCOMODATION

• GREAT DIVERSITY

– LARGE CHAIN HOTELS BUT HOLIDIDAY TOURISM IS MOSTLY FRAGMENTED

– WIDE RANGE IN QUALITY (CAMPING, TIMESHARE)

• FIXED CAPACITY:

– HIGH FIXED COSTS DRIVE OPERATORS TO ATTAIN HIGH OCCUPANCY RATES THROUGH SUCH DEVICES AS DIFFERENTIATION AND SEGMENTATION. THESE CHARACTERISTICS TEND TO INVOLVE ELEMENTS BOTH MONOPOLY AND OLIGOPOLY (e.g; LUXURY)

32

MARKET STRUCTURES AND TO

• IN USA AND IN EUROPE THERE ARE SOME LARGE PLAYERS; THEY CONTROL A LARGE SHARE OF THE MARKET

• LOW ENTRY COST

• FIERCE COMPETITION, LOW MARGINS

• ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND SCOPE

• THE DEGREE OF CONCENTRATION OF MARKET SHARE IN THE PACKAGE HOLIDAY SEGMENT SUGGESTS AN OLIGOPOLISTIC STUCTURE (REALITY IS MORE COMPLEX; NICHE PLAYERS)

33

MARKET STRUCTURES AND TA

• RELATIVE HIGH CONCENTRATION - FIRM WITH MULTIPLE OUTLETS ( IN UK 5 CONTROL A THIRD) SOME ARE INTEGRATED WITH TOS OR CARRIERS

• LOW ENTRY COSTS

• ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND SCOPE

• LOCATION IS IMPORTANT

• OLIGOPOLISTIC AND COMPETITIVE SITUATIONS

34

MARKET STRUCTURES AND AIRLINES • AIRLINES ARE HIGH FIXED COST ENTERPRISES WITH FIXED

CAPACITIES - HIGH PAYLOADS

• SHORT-HAUL FLIGHTS ARE RELATIVELY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN LONG-HAUL CARRIAGE ( FEWER HOURS IN THE AIR)

• TO MAXIMIZE THE PAYLOAD THE AIRLINES APPLY ‘YIELD MANAGEMENT’ (IS AKIN TO PERFECTLY DISCRIMINATING MONOPOLY PRICING)

• MORE CONCENTRATION IS LIKELY- HIGHER PRICES

• OLIGOPOLISTIC MARKET; SOMETIMES MONOPOLY POWERS

35

CONCENTRATION MOVEMENT

• AIR CARRIERS

– AIR FRANCE - KLM

– BRITISH AIRWAYS - IBERIA

– UNITED – CONTINENTAL

• AIRLINE ALLIANCES

– STAR ALLIANCE

– SKY TEAM

– ONEWORLD

• TOUR-OPERATING

• HOTEL SECTOR

36

TYPES OF ALLIANCES

• COMPLEMENTARY ALLIANCES

• PARALLEL ALLIANCES

37

ALLIANCES AND IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY AND SERVICES OF AIRLINES

• JOINT PROCUREMENT

• JOINT OPERATIONS

• JOINT BACK OFFICE

• CO-MARKETING

• CO-SERVICES

38

ALLIANCES AND COST-REDUCTION OPPORTUNITIES

• FINANCE AND UTILIZATION

• AIRLINE OPERATION

• EXTERNAL ( e.g. AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURERS)

• RISK-SHARING

39

ALLIANCES AND CONSUMERS

• ‘SEAMLESS’ TRAVEL (SERVING A LARGE NUMBER OF CITIES)

• ITINERARY AND ROUTING CHOICES

• FREQUENCY AND CONVENIENCE OF CONNECTING

• CONSUMERS CAN BENEFIT FROM LOWER FARES
