Marketing is usually described as a set of tools used by businesses to promote the exchange of goods and services produced in order to fully meet the demand of the community of the territory in which they operate. Therefore, to apply marketing to the territory, one needs to identify a set of rules for programming, evaluation, and promotion, in order to attract producers and consumers to an area, in which there are both tangible and intangible factors. The ability to create a development process is not only related to the possession of these factors, but also and above all to the ability to make them cohesive so that the area as a whole has more value than its individual components.

文摘The process of the economic globalization that has increasingly made markets for goods and services, capital markets, and interdependent consumption patterns, is strongly linked to the current issue of the relationship between marketing and territory.
