13The Project
- 3.3 MARKET OVERVIEW
- Until now in Europe, leisure and tourism, though
complementary, have developed separately - Why? the single-day visit hurdle
- Leisure no lodging (outings)
- Tourism lodging (tourism)
- Now, the two sectors are converging
- tourism is enhancing its offering by including
leisure activities to become more attractive, - leisure activities are creating tourism
gateways by including lodging in the product
mix - contract, shareholding, integration
14The Project3.3 Market Overview
- Vacations including more leisure activities
- Brisk growth (6 to 15 annually)
- 2nd and 3rd annual vacations (winter sports)
- Short breaks through specific catalog offerings
- Vacations with a sports or cultural focus
- all-included vacations (including leisure
activities) 15 to 20 of customers - Moderate growth (3 to 5 annually)
- Main vacations (85 in the summer)
- Basic packages transportation lodging
- Source HSBC European travel agents
15The Project3.3 Market Overview
- Some leisure operators team up with lodging
providers to build - A complete product
- Distributable through conventional outlets
(travel agencies, Internet) - Including next-day return visits
- Creating a customer relationship (return trip)
- Some leisure operators perform their own tour
operator functions - Disney, Futuroscope destination
- Exemple leisure products becoming
tourismproducts - Price for a two-day park pass 1 night including
transportation for 2 adults and 1 child - Disney 661
- Futuroscope 307
- source lEcho touristique
16 The Project3.3 Market Overview
- In the leisure business, fragmentation of
operators is the rule - 95 of ski areas are independent
- 85 of leisure parks are independent
- In tourism, concentration is nearly completed
- Package operators 6 leaders in Europe hold 75
of package holidays - (Sales Euro 42 billion)
- Hotel-Leisure the ten leading hotel chains own
over 50 of all rooms - (Sales 22 billion euros)
- The major players in the tourism trade, now
specialized in vacation reservations, and
logistics have the financial means to consolidate
the leisure industry. -
- THIS IS WHY IT IS ESSENTIAL TO REACH EUROPEAN
SCALE QUICKLY
17The Project
- SUCCESS IN THE LEISURE INDUSTRY MEANS GROWING AND
FEDERATING - TWO COMPLEMENARY LINES OF LEISURE ACTIVITIES,
- BRINGING TOGETHER
- An operator in sporting holidays, particularly
winter resorts - and
- An operator in family leisure activities, usually
located on the periphery of urban areas, and
generally open in the summer
