| Summary: | The hospitality businesses have increasingly adopted a marketing focus in order to thrive in a very competitive business environment. A key element of the marketing concept is that of market segmentation, primarily based on an understanding of the social, economic and psychological location of the consumer. Market segmentation can be considered as one of the cornerstones of marketing management. In the present day scenario of intense competition, organizations can prosper through the development of offers for specific market segments as a result of good market segmentation strategy.
