基于长尾理论的在线旅游市场发展研究

Research on the Development of Online Tourism Market based on the Long Tail Theory

随着我国在线旅游基本布局的稳定,主要细分市场竞争日趋激烈,在线旅游市场面临着更深层次细分。本文将在互联网环境下诞生的长尾理论引入在线旅游市场分析之中,对在线旅游产业链中的各关键要素进行剖析,对在线旅游产品标准化与定制化的演变进行分析。研究结果显示:虽然在线旅游市场是一个长尾化的市场,但并不意味着是无限细分的市场,必须从无限的旅游产品中根据有限的消费需求选择最适合消费者需求的产品;网络媒介与旅游媒介加速了在线旅游市场细分,旅游供应商面临销售渠道抉择,传统与在线代理商都亟待转型,标准化产品与定制化产品共存符合在线旅游市场发展的基本要求。
