Learning Objectives

1. Define value chain;


2. Identify tourism suppliers;
3. Identify the components of the tourism value chain;
4. Define linkage; and
5. Explain the importance of linkages in the tourism value chain.

II. Key Concepts


In the previous lesson, we learned the techniques in delivering
commentaries, the role of the tour guide as a communicator, the importance of
communication skills in tour guiding profession as well as the process of preparing
and using tour guide‟s logbook as one of the important communication tools for
internal clients. A tourism product is special. It is something experienced by a
tourist only through the help of many contributors. It is the sum of the values
rendered by the driver, hotel staff, waiter, tour guide, farmers, fishermen, and other
members of the community.

The Tourism Value Chain


What is a value chain? Value chain refers to the activities within and around
the organization that relate to its competitive position (Porter 1985). It is the story
of a product, from creation to consumption.

In the previous lesson, we encountered the word “analysis” that means


breaking down a complex topic into smaller, comprehensible parts. Hence, to
analyse the tourism value chain means to look at its smaller parts and
components, and follow the story of a tourism product from planning up to the
delivery of the experience to the tourist. Value chain analysis entails the
examination of each sub-system or organization represented by each box as shown
in illustration below to understand how the business can improve its operations,
competitive advantage, and profitability. For example, how can tourism

School/Station: Don Ruben E. Ecleo Sr. Memorial National High School
Division: Dinagat Islands
Email address: [email protected]
intermediaries like travel agencies improve its relationship with suppliers like
hotels? This can be done through establishing a credit line and priority in booking,
which hotels usually provide to good clients.

Tourists/Suppliers Intermediary Tourists/Consumers

Tourism suppliers, also called tourism “principals,” include hotels,


restaurants, museums, shops, and transport companies. The intermediaries
promote the tourist destinations and link the consumers to the suppliers by
providing means to convert inquiries to actual bookings, such as tour operators
(usually sells wholesale or in bulk and based in the destination) and travel agencies
(usually sells retail, or where you can buy a tour arrangements for one person). The
consumers refer to the tourists or the end-users.

The story of the tourism product could go this way: the tour operator puts
together a package that includes hotel accommodation, transportation, and city
tour; sells it directly to a group of tourists or through a travel agency; and then, the
tourists get to experience it through the services provided by the driver, the hotel
staff, and the tour guide.

The linkages in tourism go not only forward but backwards as well.


Backward linkages refer to the supply chain in tourism. Tourism is not just a
single industry but a mix of interrelated services (Edgell 2008). For instance, with
tourism, vegetable farmers and fishermen will have more buyers. Other products
and services will have to be sourced, too, either through local or foreign suppliers.

Modes of Transportation

Tourists need transportation services to move from one place to another.


This can be by land, water, or air. Each mode of transportation follows a route:
road system, rail tracks, air routes, or sea routes. Some are chartered and tailored
to fit the tour schedule, while some follow a fixed schedule of arrivals and
departures. Scheduled trips converge at some points called terminals, stations,
interchanges, or hubs, where tourist takes a connecting flight, or another mode of
transportation.

destinations; ideal for
smaller groups of tourists.

Metered Taxi Cabs Use of metered taxis to


move passengers from a
single point of origin to a
single point of destination.

Train Use of railways to move


passengers from point of
origin to destination; fast
but access is limited by the
network of railways.

Ferry or Local Water- Use of local ferries or small


Based Transport motorized boats (locally
known as „bancas‟) for short
inter-island trips or fiver
cruises; is particularly
important for the Philippine,
which is an archipelago.

Types of Accommodation
There are several types of accommodation facilities for tourists which provide
various services depending on the tourist‟s needs. Like transportation services and
infrastructure, the availability of accommodation facilities affect a country or city‟s
ability to attract tourists, as it is one of the factors that influence travel decisions.
Thus, it is important for regulatory agencies like the DOT to maintain certain
standards, such as through accreditation – a certification issued by an authority to
recognize tourism workers and establishments that meet minimum requirements
for guest safety and convenience. The Department of Tourism (DOT) classifies
lodging facilities into the following categories:

Table 2. Types of Accommodation in the Philippines

Type of Accommodation Definition

Hotel Provides lodging and incidental services to guests for a


fee; classified from five to one star.

Resort Provides lodging, food, recreational facilities, and a


relaxing environment to the public for a fee.

Tourist Inn Provides lodging to transients for a fee, and does not
meet the minimum requirements for an economy hotel.

Apartel Provides furnished or semi-furnished independent


apartment units and basic services akin to hotels for

long-term staying guests for fee.

Motorist Hotel (Motel) Provides lodging, and sometimes meals, for a fee,
usually located along the highway with parking spaces
for vehicles.

Pension House Provides board and lodging for a fee in several


independent guestrooms with commonly shared
facilities, such as toilets, living and dining room, and
kitchen; usually a family-operation with non-
professional workers.

Homestay Private households who have undergone training to


welcome tourists to stay with their family for cultural
exchange and additional income.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify factors affecting travel decisions;


2. Differentiate “pull factors” from “push factors”; and
3. Explain the importance of understanding tourists‟ travel motivators.

II. Key Concepts

In the previous lesson, we discussed supply components of tourism.


We discussed also on the previous quarter why people travel. People travel for a
purpose, often to get or do something that is not possible if they stayed home.
These reasons may be to search for knowledge, to earn, to be with loved ones, to
shop, to fulfil a dream, and to do many other things. We also learned that not all
forms of travel are considered as tourism. Can you still remember how tourism
differs from other forms of travel?

Travel History

Prehistoric humans travelled for survival, often in search of food. When the
last Ice Age ended about 10,000 BC, fertile soil appeared beneath the ice. Humans
began to raise plants and animals – shifting from hunting-gathering to agriculture.
As time went by, agricultural technologies began to improve and there came a point
when more food was produced then the farmers could consume. The excess food
freed some people from farm work and provided them with time to do other things,
such as specializing in other work, craft, or hobby. Moreover, the improvements in
transportation allowed trade, manufacturing, education, and politics to prosper
(Casson 1994).

Many researchers tried to analyse people‟s reasons for travelling. In the


preceding paragraph, it was mentioned that one of the reasons for travelling is
food. Modern day examples of this motivation include:

(a) Tourists going to Japan to try certain dishes like fugu, or blowfish, a
poisonous fish;

Developer: Ma. Lurina A. Longakit


School/Station: Don Ruben E. Ecleo Sr. Memorial National High School
Division: Dinagat Islands
Email address: [email protected]
(b) Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) going abroad to provide food for their
family back home.
The first example tells us of a motivator that is found in the destination,
Japan. The other example tells us of a motivator that is found at home, or at the
place of origin of the traveller. In the first example, the destination is specific to
Japan, one of the few places where skilled chefs can prepare fugu to provide a
unique gastronomic experience. However, in the second one, the destination could
be anywhere provided it could satisfy the motivation, which is to provide food for
the family back home.

Pull and Push Factors

Dann (Catibog-Sinha, 2012) proposed that a tourist‟s travel motivations


could be divided into two types, just like examples “a” and “b” above. They refer to
them as the “push and pull” travel motivators. A push factor is a reason “at
home,” like boredom, desire to travel with loved ones, and/or personal desire to
fulfil a fantasy. A pull factor is a reason “out there” or what could be found in the
destination. In other words, a push factor is internal to the person, while a pull
factor is external to the person, such as an attribute of a destination.
Table 3. Push and Pull Travel Motivators

Push (Reasons at Home) Pull (Reasons Out There)

Examples: Examples:

1. Rest and relaxation 1. A tourist attraction, such as


2. To travel with loved ones Ifugao Rice Terraces
3. To fulfil a dream 2. A festival

When tourists travel to a destination, they are motivated by one factor or a


combination of factors. It is important for destination managers to understand
travel motivators in order to satisfy the tourists. For instance, imagine how
disappointed tourists would be if they went to Japan to try the blowfish but were
unable to do so. Tourist wanting rest and relaxation would also be disappointed if
they were dragged into a hectic tour program.

By understanding travel motivators, tourism professionals can adjust
products and promotions to satisfy tourist‟ needs. Tourist‟s needs include:

3. Attractions – interesting places to visit;


4. Accommodation – a place where a tourist can rest, spend the night, and
have a meal;
5. Access – a convenient way to get to a tourist destination, move around, and
go back to the tourist‟s place of origin;
6. Amenities – other things that make the stay convenient and enjoyable, such
as ease of communication, health, safety and security; and
7. Amount – cost of the trip that fits the tourist‟s budget.
These factors influence travel decisions.

CASE STUDY: John’s Vacation


After working hard on a project, John has decided that he needs a vacation and
some fresh air. He starts preparing his travel plans. He is choosing between going
to Tagaytay or Baguio. The climate is cool in both cities and there is plenty of
information about them on the Internet. The hotel cost and amenities in both cities
are reasonable. However, Tagaytay is closer to where John lives. If he is going to
drive, it will be more expensive and time-consuming to go to Baguio. He therefore
decided to go to Tagaytay.

Factors:
a) Need for vacation and fresh air
b) Cool climate
c) Cost
d) Amenities
e) Distance
