Tourism is one of the largest and most dynamic sectors of the economy. High
pace of development, large amount of foreign exchange earnings are actively
influencing the various sectors of the economy, which is promoting the formation of
their own tourist industry. Tourism industry contributes over 10% to global GDP and
accounts for 1 in 10 jobs on the planet [World Economic Forum, 2017].
Thus, today it is impossible not to notice the huge impact that the tourism
industry has on the world economy. Now it is important not only to produce high-
quality goods and services, but organize their sales. Therefore, great importance is
given to marketing.
What is the objective of the tourist company? One of the main tasks of the
company is to increase its profits. Obtaining and increasing the profits mean, first of
all the presence and increasing the number of regular customers. Customers can be
attracted and retained, if they are interested in receiving services from this company.
Marketing helps to retain customers.
Different sectors of the economy focus on one of the areas of marketing. So, in
the hotel industry there is a sign of equality between marketing and sales. In the
restaurant business, many people confuse marketing with advertising and promotion.
In fact,
advertising and marketing are just elements of the process of promotion of
goods, which in turn is an integral part of marketing. Other marketing elements include
product, price, distribution, research.
The role of marketing is increasing rapidly in the tourism industry since the
dynamic changes in tourism demand and supply. Consumers’ needs and wants are

to develop tourist products that will satisfy consumers’ needs and wants.
The paper discusses the importance and role of marketing in developing new
tourist products that will meet consumers’ expectations. In the literature review section

models designed for marketing in tourism. Then, in discussion section different
arguments related to the role of marketing in tourism will be provided followed by
conclusion.
It would be proper if we define the term “market” before defining “marketing”.
Usually we discuss retail markets, wholesale markets, domestic markets, national
markets, and planning to supply a product to a market. We can define tourism market
as customers that need trips and have enough money to do that.
Sometimes, this market is limited to a special zone. For example, a restaurant
that works in a region may cover near tourism occasionally. In another situation, a
market may include a country (a national chain hotel) or many countries (an
international airline) [Keegan, 1999].
Definitions of the term “marketing” share more or less the same points even if
they seem different: marketing concentrates on customer needs.
“Marketing is a

complete business system that is designed for planning, pricing, promotion, and
distribution of high quality products to meet needs of goal market to achieve
organizational goals”
[Stanton et al., 1994].
One of the definitions of marketing in tourism industry is as follows.

an organization by researches, anticipation, and selection of suitable goods and
