The tourist’s memorable experience An important dimension of the tourist experience is memory, that tourism practices are the resources of experience, which are accessibled only in the form of representations through memory. Another definition of memory is filtering mechanism which make a link between the experience, emotional, and perceptual outcomes or a tourist event . (Carù,a & Cova,b, 2016; Pine & Gilmore, 1999)
There is an impact of memories on the evaluation of the tourist’s experience. Cognitive and affective readiness of relevant information is based on memories involve consciously and unconsciously.

(2011) reiterates this argument, stating that “there are differences between actual experiences and the later representation of experiences in narrative”. In taking a cognitive approach to the study of tourist experience one must consider the mental memory processes as this memory will be all that remains after the experience has ended. In 2016 Carù,a and Cova,b, argued that memory is the most influential aspect of tourist experiences. Different form factors or increase the memorability of events, such as affective feelings, cognitive evaluations, and novel events. According to the research results, 7 constructs – knowledge,local culture, hedonism, refreshment , meaningfulness, involvement, and novelty- are all important components of the tourist experience and these all are likely to affect a person’s …show more content…
Prahalad and Ramaswamy in 2004 called for a strategic approach based on shared values in which they were allowing customers to co-create their own experience for search of their personal growth.as a result emphasis just shifted from narrow conceptions of staging or production to broader notions of experience creation, involving a wider range of processes and agencies.
Caru and Cova (2007) published their work on “Consumer Experience” in wich authors carried out a systematic view on both experience and value creation between the company and the customer and made a model called the “continuum of consuming experiences”. At one end of the model there was an experience created along with the consumer, while at the other extreme there were experiences of which creation a company had a major effect, and at the middle there are co-created experiences.
The three cases in which role and marketing approach of the company differs are;
- In the first case where individual experience creation is involved the company or service provider probably applies product oriented r traditional marketing
When an experience “fosters a sense of social connection…makes a memorable story…for years to come…links to your sense of who you are or want to be…[and] provides a unique opportunity, eluding easy comparison,” (Dunn and Norton, 2013, p. 20), it creates a memory that is cherished far more than a material good. The generation of a lasting impression offers a happiness that increases with time. Businesses, such as restaurants and tourism industries, apply this concept by advertising the experience their company delivers. For example, a restaurant must create a market to entice people into choosing it over all the other existing food options while for tourism to have success, it must market a once in a lifetime opportunity to give value to experience. People are more willing to forgo the cheap alternative as long as they find that the value, both monetary and happiness, overshadows the increased expense.
“Mass customization” and “mass personalization” (or “build-to-order marketing” and “one-to-one marketing”) in delivering either products or services when properly implemented, bring about across-the-board improvements in all dimensions of a business. This includes, price, responsiveness, quality, and a positive experience. Competitiveness and operational effectiveness of a company also

Most attempts at defining cultural tourism agree that it consists of the consumption of culture by tourists (Richards, 1996). However, this approach also produces new problems because it includes a wide range of cultural elements. For example, what kinds of cultural experiences should be included within the scope of
Desire for more novel, adventurous, and authentic forms of tourism experience, social content and the humanization of tourism activities.
Tourism industry has developed a lot in the last few decades (Cooper & Hall, 2008). In order to maintain and increase this development, the industry has to identify and understand tourists’ needs and motivations factors that force them to travel. Tourists had basic needs, which were continuously increasing and also changing form throughout the years. According to Maslow’s theory (1970) while basic needs are satisfied, motivations are created and determined by the following level. Motivation factors (motivators) are the factors, which are pushing or pulling a traveller to take a trip/holiday and those that make the tourist’s purchase desirable. There are factors that stimulate, motivate and ‘influence’ the traveller to take that particular kind

However, the key difference between the traditional marketing mix and the value approach is the focus on the customer, and the notion of creating value for the customer. It can be asserted that firms today are working harder than ever to create value for customers. Firms are now operating in the ‘value era’: “a time when companies emphasize creating value for customers” (Tanner, & Raymond, 2011, p.7), or even in the ‘one to one era’: “building relationships with customers one at a time and seeking to serve each customer’s needs individually” (Tanner, & Raymond, 2011, p.7). A firm using the value approach to marketing is likely to be market orientated, meaning that they follow the marketing concept of meeting (and exceeding) customers’ wants and needs. This contrast with a firm which may undertake the traditional marketing approach (4ps), and is likely to be more product orientated, meaning that the focus is more on product innovation rather than customer needs and
After 1990s, technology has become an essential tool for marketing; therefore, successful business adopts the new ways of marketing. Regis McKenna emphasizes the knowledge and experience marketing strategy, which result in the success of overall marketing organization. Mckenna argues that knowledge and experience based marketing is the new marketing paradigm, and the knowledge marketing focus on using the new technology to introduce and sell the products. On the other side, the experience marketing creates the relationship with customers through “interactivity, connectivity, and creativity”. He uses many examples to support his arguments throughout the article.
When people travel to a destination, they sure have some motivation to motivate them to make the decision. ‘Motivation’ is the key term that will make the tourist to consider the reason to travel around. During the decision making process, people will consider some of the reasons before they confirm travel to a destination. The research that has conducted in The Netherland found out a remarkably high propensity to travel, 70% of the populations are taking one holiday per year and 24% was taking two holidays per year for holiday. Some of the people will affect their decision making by looking at destination image or some of the impact advertising. On the internet, business people will use image and advertising to attract tourist to travel to the destination by using image that they edit before. This is part of the marketing to promote their country to tourist. For family traveler, they will consider the distance and transportation travel to the destination. When go for travel, tourist will bring the whole family to travel. Then, they will consider old people who travel long journey are very hard for them. If one of the family members are senior citizen, they need to consider their healthy. Some of the senior citizen cannot take long journey, such as they have sickness. Bring children go for holiday also need to be consider. Some of the children will afraid of the highest in the plane, so they will feel uncomfortable. There is plenty of reason need to consider before making any decision to travel. For understanding tourist motivation and decision making is for two main reason, planning consideration and economic consideration. (Page & Connell, 2009) Before the tourist travel to a destination, they need to think about culture, climat...

The consumption of goods by tourists while being on holiday is an essential subject in the tourism industry. Souvenirs are seen as universal elements of traveling (Swanson, 2012) and are looked upon as objects tourists can bring back home to remind them of their activities during their holiday, trying to make an intangible experience tangible through the purchasing of these artifacts (Litrell, 1993). Furthermore, souvenirs represent the notion of trying to prolong the travel experience (Swanson, 2004). The phenomena of collecting souvenirs while being away from home is rather nothing new. In fact, according to Swanson (2012), there are records going back to the time of ancient Egyptians, Romans, and later explorer-travelers who would bring mementos back from their journeys. Nowadays, the most typical souvenirs that tourists will collect can be categorized into groups. According to Gordon (1986), five groups of souvenir types exist: pictorial souvenirs (e.g. postcards), piece-of-the-rock souvenirs (natural elements collected), iconic souvenirs (items that evoke a message about the place they come from), markers (e.g. t-shirts with the name of the destination) and local product souvenirs (items indigenous to the area).
