II. EVOLUTION OF THE ACTIVITY AND OBJECTIVES
Until 2011, the company focused on the development of the luxury domestic tours with 4 to 5 stars hotels and on the commercialization of Europe tours.
Since 2011, Anh Viet Tourist decided to focus its development toward the European outbound tourism market with a middle/high positioning. The objective of the CEO ; Mr Khoa Luan, is to have the monopoly on Europe tours offer for Vietnamese, Cambodian and some Asian people willing to visit Europe with a high quality of services and at the best value. The company aims at reaching the best quality-price ratio, designing new marketing plan and reinforce its sales team.
In 2013, the goal fixed by Mr Luan is to reach a sum of 30 sells of pax per month, that means, around 1 or 2 group tours per month. This is a really ambitious expectation to reach and the team has to be highly motivated, trained and enhanced. Nowadays, there are many months without any group sale. Moreover the communication plan has to be developed if Anh Viet International Tourist wants to achieve its goal. This is why the realization of a diagnostic of the situation and a marketing plan is compulsory before everything.
It is also important to know that the activity has slowed down in 2012 compared with the 2010 and 2011 years. Moreover, in the beginning of 2012, ANH VIET TOURIST invested in the creation of a new office in Nha Trang but the activity wasn’t profitable so the CEO decided to close the office. For the moment, the office in Ho Chi Minh is not really profitable, with a loss of 353,788,673 dongs in 2012 (around 15602 dollars) with represents a decrease of 290% compared to 2011 (91,501,658 dongs). That is the reason why it is really important to develop the activity before considerate a diversification of locals.
For the moment, the sells realized are not enough to develop safety the company and invest in marketing. All the activity permitted the company to reach a turnover of 1,441,221,503 in 2012 (around 69 thousand of dollars), with a decrease of 50% compared to 2011 (3,015,673,520 dongs).
III. THE SEGMENTATION OF THE CLIENTS
Currently, the target of ANH VIET INTERNATIONAL TOURIST is divided into three segmentations :
- The individual clients ;
- The professional clients ; MICE ;
- The travel agencies to the company to create a tour for their clients.
The most important asking comes from the travel agencies which often ask tours for their own clients, in Asia and more and more in Europe, to several tour operators and keep the best quality price. For example, Phu Tho Tourist and Fiditour are two important clients, which bought few tours last years and which continue asking quotation.
Concerning the faithful professional clients for the asian inbound tourism, we can quote the HD Bank, Mobifone company, Vietfish, Ngan Hang Viet A, Open University in Ho Chi Minh City, the telecomunication group VNPT, the restaurant Nha Hang Hoa Vien Phong Lan, the vietnam rubber group, the Minh Long 1 company specialized in the ceramic, the De Le Hong Phong high school of Ho Chi Minh and the Quang Trung Software Park. So, one of the objective of the firm is to enhance the asking from professionals for the Asian and the European market. But the priority is to find personal and professional customers and retain them for the development of the European offer.
