Outgoing Tourists travelling away from home on a trip abroad
Incoming Other people coming to be tourists, from abroad
Domestic Tourists travelling somewhere else in their own country
Purposes Business, visiting friends and relatives (VFR) and leisure
Intangibility Can't be touched or tested before its been payed for. Therefore, operators must work hard to sell a holiday
Perishability Your travel and tourism service can't be stored up for sale later. After a certain date the booking will be gone
Inseprability Everything's done simultaneously
Risk A holiday is a big risk (money wise). Suspicions can rise from high costs, dangerous journeys and poor food/accomodation

Package Holidays Arranged by a tour operator and include at least two of the following: travel, accommodation and food
Independent Travel People making their own way and don't usually have a fixed schedule
The Private Sector Companies that trade for profit (e.g. British Airways and Thomson - some use integration, meaning they buy other parts of the chain
Multiples The larger companies which have multiple outlets (e.g. Tui - they've created tough competition)
Small Enterprises Tend to serve local needs such as B&B's (e.g. in Blackpool)
Medium-Sized Enterprises Can still trade globally if they have an internet site but prefer serving regional customers (e.g. Jet2 and holiday camps)
New technologies The internet, satellite and global transmissions, high speed and volume travel modes and mobile phones
Currency Flucuations Exchange rates effect the buying power of tourists abroad
Government Legislation If a government decides to increase business taxes, for example, tourists and operators would pay more
