Abstract

Tourism, as a composite and personalised service oriented product, has manifold significance in the nature and configuration of services offered. The onsite experience of customers can create a niche in the market. Due to its intangible nature, designing a structured marketing strategy for tourism is subject to complexities. The configurations of the services offered and marketing strategy are equally important to materialize the objectives of the service providers. An ideal mix of marketing tools is an essential component of successful marketing. In this paper the researcher examines mainly the configuration of a heuristically developed service marketing mix applied in marketing of tourism programmes at Thekkady, a much sought after wildlife tourism destination in the southern peninsular India.
