accommodation services with swimming pools. This company is multi-owned which
means that it is managed with multiple owners.

natural settings through hotel, camping, and hiking services. We try to link people

environment. Our mission is to provide a safe and sustainable retreat for visitors to
reconnect with nature, renew their spirits, and create lasting memories.

Vision

or holding outdoor skills workshops.

Target market

and adventure love, but also adult people looking for a relaxing and calming place.
As we are a small company, we are managing a few groups of people to our
installation according to our structure and personal capacity.

originality in order to transport our clients to their comfort and relaxation zone.

Our marketing budget has $400.00 balboas as a fund to invest in advertising for our
clients, promotions, product development, for market research and other initiatives
that we can think of, also to pay whoever manages our social networks an extra his
salary for uploading our flyers and continuing to study and innovate our social
network pages since 50% of our clients come because of what they see on our
social networks.

On the other hand, there is also eternal contact, since as our clients have great
experiences, they advertise us and their comments reach others and that is how we
are obtaining more demands.

As a company, our first point is to look at the behavior of the client, who would be our
consumer, and for this, we would do a little research, for example, ask them what
they are looking for, what they want to buy to satisfy their needs, and what we can
offer them and that they leave satisfied with it. tourist service that we give them.

Competition Analysis
EcoDreams is located in Llano Grande de Antón where we have 2 competitions that
would be FINCA SANTA MONICA AND ROYAL DECAMERON GOLF BEACH
RESORT & VILLAS. There is little competition in this area, but of the aforementioned
competitions the strongest is ROYAL DECAMERON GOLF BEACH RESORT &
VILLAS.
ROYAL DECAMERON GOLF BEACH RESORT & VILLAS operates in the Farallon
sector, Rio Hato, Panama and in other Central American countries. Its consumers
are generally children, young people and adults because they have a wide service of
swimming pools, discos, restaurants and a fabulous view of the Pacific Ocean. As for
the elderly, they book very little in these companies due to the scandal, fun, behavior
of children and they do not tolerate these situations, therefore they seek more places
of tranquility, relaxation and peace; they have recognition in Central America; Its
social networks are well known and prestigious because it is one of the best hotels
for its excellent services, amenities, and attention. This company gets many visitors
through social networks and apart from providing a fun service where tourists and
local citizens decide to visit and see what they think and if they meet all their
expectations.

without prior notice and to the regulation of the rate rule of hotel and air plans.
However, the rate that is confirmed to you at the time of purchasing the plan does
NOT vary. Taxes, rates and contributions that affect airfares, hotel rates and other

day they give promotions of 10%, 15% and 20% discounts, they provide free
services and free admission for children under 6 years of age. They upload their
advertisements to all their social networks, websites, magazines and distribute
brochures.
Strengths weaknesses

Low prices on accommodation Bad customer service

All inclusive plan Not being able to make reservations at


the hotel

Variety of services Lack of trained personnel

It has its own water treatment plant Late delivery of the room by employees

Support from affiliated companies of the


Decameron to bring tourists to Panama

Marketing strategies

FINCA SANTA MONICA operates in the sector of the village of El Chirú, District of
Antón, Province of Coclé, between the towns of Rio Hato and Antón. It is a sector
where the consumers who visit it the most are young children and adults because it
contains an area where children and young people can live with animals and have
fun outdoors, while adults can visit and get to know the museum area, as well as
enjoy the day in the field. This place is not as visitable or recognized, therefore it is
not a competition that we have to worry about because they do not offer the same
services that we do. This company does nothing to get more consumers or make
themselves known to attract people.
Price Policies: Finca Santa Mónica has a single rate, therefore it does not demand
as much at the time of booking because you do not have days in advance to do so.
Your rate includes admission to the museum and visitation of the animals.
Objectives: to recognize the wealth of the Coclesan people and offer locals and
strangers the best tourist, cultural, gastronomic and commercial offer in Coclé
Marketing strategies: The Santa Mónica farm has held 2 fairs to promote tourism and
commerce. The funds raised from these 2 fairs will be used for social works in the
province of Coclé, especially initiatives focused on education and children, according
to organizers.
Promotion, advertising and merchandising campaigns: this place does not have
promotions, its rates are unique. Their advertisements are handled on billboards and
the distribution of brochures.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

Single and cheap rate It is not a visitable place

Good attention and designated guide They don't have social media

Little advertising of the place

Market study
First, it shows how sales in our market are evolving to carry out the sales study
based on the geographical area, that is why we have methods to develop a good
study:
Strategic market analysis:
Competition: Evaluate direct and indirect competitors in the market to identify their
strengths, weaknesses, marketing strategies, prices, market share, and value
proposition.
Market segmentation: make the segmentation shorter with similar characteristics and
needs. This will allow us to identify the most attractive target segments and adapt
strategies.
The Customer: Understand the needs, preferences, behaviors, and demographics of
your target customers.
Pricing and value: Evaluate the prices of your products or services in relation to
competitors and the value perceived by customers.
Keep in mind the analysis of the five forces of Porter:
1.Threat of entry of new competitors: another company that contains the same
services that we offer in our company, would put us at risk of loss.
2. Rivalry between existing competitors: it may seem impossible, but it can happen,
but with differences that we innovate new strategies and as an advantage we have
that the place is completely natural, a situation that our rivals do not have.
3. Threat of substitute products and services: at this point we arrive in any case that
our service is threatened, we would implement others but more updated and
improved.
4. Bargaining power of the provider: good communication, services and good offers
attract more providers who want to acquire and negotiate our tourist services.
5. Customer bargaining power: of course we are aware and ready to negotiate and
stay on good terms when they want to purchase our services.
Analysis of strategic groups: We try to identify similar and group competing
companies into categories or strategic groups based on characteristics, such as size,
market focus, designed technology or business strategy in this case it would be the
types of service, try to make a difference to them by offering a more detailed and
specific perspective on the competition within the industry.

Commercial study on the product


Compared to our competitors EcoDreams has a tourist product where we offer
different services such as camping, hiking and accommodation services with
swimming pools . Next below we give the products category where they are better
explained according to the commercial study:

● Camping Products: We offer a range of camping products such as tents,


sleeping bags, camping stoves, portable chairs, and outdoor cooking
equipment, carefully selected for their durability and functionality.
● Hiking Gear: Our hiking gear includes backpacks, hiking boots, trekking poles,
GPS devices, and other essentials that cater to the needs of hikers, ensuring
comfort and reliability on the trails.
● Accommodation Amenities: In our accommodations, we provide high-quality

facilities are equipped with safety measures and additional amenities to
enhance the overall experience.

We believe that our products are well accepted by our clients due its high quality and
service offered, even to impact them in long range with good experiences acquired
according to the study results.
Commercial study on prices
According to our products we have made a general study that can be adapted to our
customers needs. Mentioning that we focus on providing memorable experiences to
the needs of adventure enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful
retreat.
Our pricing strategy is based on the unique value proposition we provide to our
consumers, taking into account elements such as service quality, facilities, and
overall experience.

Something important is that we understand that the natural season is relevant, that is
why we seek to create a pricing system that takes into account higher and lower
demand periods, while still providing flexibility and appealing prices to match shifting
demand levels.

So we have made this study obtaining the following results:


1. Camping Services: Our camping services are priced based on factors such as
campsite amenities, location, duration of stay, and additional services offered
(e.g., guided tours, equipment rental).
2. Hiking Services: Hiking packages are priced according to the difficulty level,
duration, and scenic value of the trails, as well as any specialized equipment
or guide services required.
3. Accommodation with Swimming Pools: Accommodation pricing varies based
on room types, amenities, proximity to the swimming pool facilities, and any
additional services available.
Commercial study on the purchasing process
As EcoDreams offers services such as camping, hiking and accommodation services
with swimming pools we look forward to the best memorable moment for our clients.
In any given year, we look at each customer's average purchases, which gives us
insight into customer loyalty and value to our business. The customers often make
purchases of our tourism services, which helps us understand their consumption
patterns and their degree of commitment to our company.
Also We assess the total number of customers who have used our services over a
given period of time, which has been good and regular. It gives us an idea of the
customer base and its growth. We also identify opportunities to promote additional
services or improvements in the customer experience, leveraging captive buying and
fostering greater customer engagement and satisfaction.

Analysis of distribution channels

Our company uses different types of distribution channels, so that when our clients
arrive they can see what we offer in our accommodation and thus be able to provide
our tourist services, so that they have a rewarding experience.
Our distribution channels are implemented in our company based on our marketing
strategies and market reach.
-Reservations through social networks and technological applications: we make use
of these virtual platforms, so that it is much easier for our clients when it comes to
knowing more information about the place and the products and services we offer
and of course their reservations. cabins or other activities.
-Direct reservations at the establishment: our clients can make their reservations for
the activities they want to do or for the accommodation, and this can be through
telephone calls, emails or personal visits, this allows us to have direct
communication between the client and the company, also makes us know more
about the person who is requiring the tourist service.
-Travel agency: these agencies are our intermediaries between the client and the

Example 1 - Marketing cost control:

EcoDreams decided to launch a marketing campaign to promote their camping,


hiking, and accommodation services in LLano Grande and attract more customers.
They set a budget of $10,000 for the campaign, which includes online advertising,
brochure printing, and social media promotions. During the course of the campaign,
the marketing team monitors and maintains constant control over the expenses to
ensure they don't exceed the established budget. They track the costs of digital
advertising, brochure design and printing, and promotional content on social media.
If they detect that the expenses are exceeding the budget, corrective measures are
taken, such as adjusting the advertising strategy or seeking more cost-effective yet
effective alternatives.

Example 2 - Deviations from objectives:

EcoDreams sets a goal to accommodate 500 customers during the peak season in
LLano Grande. However, at the end of the season, they discover that they have only
accommodated 400 customers. This represents a negative deviation of 100
customers from the established goal. The marketing team analyzes possible reasons
for the deviation, such as lower accommodation demand, stronger competition, or an
insufficient promotional strategy. Based on the analysis, adjustments are made to the
marketing strategy, such as offering special promotional packages, improving online
communication, or expanding collaborations with local travel and tourism agencies to
attract more customers. These corrective measures aim to correct the deviation and
achieve the established accommodation goal.
Conclusion
In conclusion, creating a thorough tourism marketing plan is essential for any
destination or tourism company to be successful. In this final project, we have looked
at the different elements and tactics that go into making a successful marketing plan.
The target audience must first and foremost be understood. We can pinpoint
important demographics, tastes, and behaviors of potential tourists by conducting
detailed market research. We may design our marketing messages and experiences
to more deeply connect with customers by acquiring insights into their wants and
desires.
Our company EcoDreams is basically specialized for those people who want to get
distracted and be in a completely quiet place full of nature.
Maintaining a company of this type is constantly competitive, so in order not to be
affected it has to resort to new and updated strategies that our clients like, but for all
