Tourism Group Segments

Creating segments of groups for a tourism package involves dividing your target audience into smaller, more specific groups based on shared characteristics. This segmentation helps in tailoring packages to meet the unique needs and preferences of each group. Here’s how to do it:

1. Identify Segmentation Criteria

You can segment your audience based on various factors, such as:
