Changes in the light





In Catalonia the administration has provided matching the Bolkestein directive (Entered into force last December 28) for this fall, so anyone may act as agent and they lose marketing exclusivity for the travel, tickets, etc..
As significant data are increased barriers to entry to the obligation to deposit a guarantee or bail of 120,000 €, today for retail was 60,000 €. (Whether or private company).
addition to this measure is enacted by the government of the Generalitat, the new classification of tourist offices, with full power to sell, distribute, and provide tourism services and products.
This picture, taken by surprise to many travel agents have placed all confidence in the associations, such as in its "constitution" states that are to defend the sector.
These facts undoubtedly change the map of tourism distribution in this country dramatically, incapacitates regulated, and regulates "deregulating at a stroke" that until now were known as intruders.
Analyzing the business structure, it is true that from which regulates the sector, it has remained immovable (in process of distribution) to adapt to market needs, is still doing the same for 40/50 years, besides the sector has seen in five years came new operators as well concentrations of large distributors (Falcon, Orizonia, etc.) emerge purchasing groups, and online agencies, new professions (SEO's, CRM's, Community Managers, etc.) Linked to the use of new technologies.
The current result is of great confusion in the marketplace, missing the supremacy of the information professionalized, this distrust, and offers no credibility and bidding wars and price have led to the breakdown and abandonment of traditional ways of belonging to "His travel agency life" once lost these values \u200b\u200b(trust, security, safety) that made the profession a social group is recognized and valued.
Many have not understood and least understood step of an industrial society, the technology, much less the transition state of the knowledge society.
On the one hand the legislators who are forced to implement policies that emanate from the European Parliament, on the other, the profound changes that the market has experienced a few years, it is not surprising that railed sector circles fatigue, helplessness, uncertainty and inability to meet these challenges
This fall will be difficult, beyond the crisis in which we are all immersed, of no use protests and complaints, decisions are already taken, although many still unaware of them.
comes a difficult time for many opportunities for others.
probably witnessing the imminent fall of the associations that have failed to lead or lead their partners in the right time.
purchasing groups are not meaningful because it does not provide any value in the distribution chain, it is clear that consumers are not willing to support a parasitic network. Possibly
a group if you get this post, triggered the anger towards me, nothing will change the vision that generates its occupation in the area of \u200b\u200bdistribution.
will have to remain vigilant in the coming days, months and be prepared to sector to welcome this administration no longer complies with the taxes, I must admit that I was always prepared to compete in the market, I never thought that would compete with the administration of my country. Currently

Watch One Program Tape Another

The only freedom that money gives you is the freedom to say no. That drive is formatted



This is the key tourism sector (and many others) the continued failure of this economic engine lubricant. Watching this interesting debate
http://comunidad.hosteltur.com/post/2010-09-13-post-abierto-a-jos-manuel-bermdez-consejero-de-turismo-de-tenerife, neuronal excitation has provided me enough to stand in front of the computer and mess up my charts "Politically correct."
I apologize in advance if this frenzy just by stepping on some streets.
companies interact in free markets, then let them flow interactions and if they are breached the codes of ethics, or business must report them (internally and externally).
The tourism sector is composed of "entrepreneurs" with views very endogenous targets, their collective lack of vision makes the decisions to be egocentric when it comes before the industry is talking in third person.
politicians at different levels of government away from enforcing the laws they enact and regulate, limit themselves to meet almost the sole sectoral demand is to invest "more" in promotion (whether the product meets the optimal conditions to be presented in catalogs).
Since attending business meetings or boards, (lately I'm away from property given the unease about my presence and character) the issue was always the same, some ask, (employers) the other point that no resources (government ) but always just passing a special shed to celebrate a centennial anniversary, or the year of artichoke (all my respects to this vegetable as a diuretic) holds the final claim in any long meeting (not the content, if not for the lack of order) agreed unanimously that "Gentlemen, you have to do things," well, the translation of "doing things" is "spending money on promotion," and all satisfied , the meeting is adjourned, the comments in the cafeterias (employers, as I told you they'd get the pasta) in the other cafe (luckily we have trimmed their expectations).
stage in my business (even force) have always been involved and participated in a position involved with the sector and to approve budgets in many institutions, both public sector dedicated primarily to promoting destinations (public), and defend the sector (the sector) have ever received results, nor I nor anyone else has requested them and if I ever did, although I am waiting.
The permanent question is: will at some point in future history public figure capable of dealing with employers and just say NO?
From the business should do an internal analysis, critical and severe, leading the opportunity to demonstrate and prove that we also have ability to redirect our mistakes in defending employers immovable and inoperative. Make
debate whether companies and governments need to continue this "game" and redistribute public resources (If we continue to believe that the administration has to keep paying the invoice promotional in this country) is no longer time to "do things", it's time to be demanding in the internal management of global projects perfectly prepared to target specific objectives perfectly measurable, then ask for explanations of accountability. There
industry worldwide that support the cost management promotional
Spain is "still" different
The worst of the method is that the administration did not even check or control the quality of the offer, which invest huge sums .
not within my imagination that a company the Marketing department no dialogue or verify the quality of production, while the general direction plays golf.
must be negotiated in expenditure budgets, promotional items directly to the market with the travel costs of representatives of government, we all know, but all accept octopus as a pet, to the extent that we can traps to us alone.
Notice that each paragraph lies behind the word but does not mention "money."
tone of the article probably breathe "anger" at all, is a simple and plain description of a perspective based on years of experience invariable in time and in the process, many involved it may seem even grotesque, the goal is the reflection (not to step tripe), each reader can see reflected in it, the hope is that the complementéis with your comments, which will be the richness of the debate, I'm just an instigator.
The day we learn the value of the statement of this short post, probably will be directing a new direction for our beloved industry.

Epididymitis How Long Does It Last

iron cold summer




We are in the planning period for the next season, which in the argot of travel agents is called receptive period recruitment.
Typically in recruitment interviews analyzes the season is coming to an end and negotiated prices for next season, quotas and improvements between the analysis of surveys of perceived quality control and supply, looking for ways to adjust the customer demand and the supply of hotel borrowers.
this year (once again) has shown that pension historic rates divided by seasons, are becoming obsolete, have suffered the "virus cost" to the maximum exponent, every week should rectify the prices offered, because the market expects the last minute offer, regardless of the destination or lodging, you have to review marketing plans and customer loyalty.
Coinciding with all my suppliers, the prices received for the 2011 season and after analyzing the seasons from 2006 to 2010 we observe the exponential decay of customers willing to "subsidize the balance sheets" operations that increase their prices what we call high season (July and August) as increasingly seeing the client rejects this offer and diverts their attention to the months of June and September, saving almost 50% of holiday price.
far is experience the process and decisions should be adapted to demand, as anything, prices for 2011 remain fixed habits of thirty years ago for a future market immediately.
The customer is not the same, or holiday periods are focused in two months, and buying habits are the same as taught by the tour operators, and the client is no longer willing to pay a high price when this can get almost half of adapting their holidays according to the rates.
not learn anything if we fail to understand that the market is the one who decides, and who ultimately decide on a destination that is able to suit your needs, my problem is to convince the supplier that this behavior will affected and who will work to adapt their offerings to the demands.
This is still plagued by "deaf" and "blind" to hear and see perfectly still bent on doing things his "way" out of what customers request and we will, as in Turkey, Croatia, Italy, even Greece have already gotten the message, when we see the outcome, will voices calling on the government sector more investment in promotion, yes prices will continue making up for the high season remains of life, although this does not match the customer.
