Welcome to
THM 484:
Cases in Applied Hospitality & Tourism Marketing
Today's marketing
isn't simply a business function. It is a philosophy, a way of thinking and a
way of structuring your business and your mind. Marketing is not a new ad
campaign or this month's promotion. Marketing is part of everyone's job, from
line employee to the board of directors. Marketing's task is to design a
product/service combination that provides real value to targeted customers,
motivates purchase, and fulfills genuine customer needs.
Whether you want to be a manager,
set up your own business, or any other career choice, marketing will directly
affect your personal and professional life. This marketing course will start
you on a journey that will cause your customers to embrace you and make
marketing your management philosophy.
Good Luck with the course and I hope
you will enjoy the journey !
