8. TARGETING MARKET SEGMENTS
Niche segment - targeting
independent travelers, eco-tourists,
wellness and spiritually inclined
tourists.
Jamboree Creek cannot afford to
target too many segments as it is in a
nascent stage.
For example, large families would
attract more revenue but this
segment does not mesh with the
company’s objectives.
11. POSITIONING STRATEGY
PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION
Physical Attributes: Jamboree Creek offers the consumer with eco-friendly
accommodation consisting of bamboo huts, open air rain showers, colorful interiors,
access to a private beach, yoga studio, etc
Location: The resort has access to a private beach and hence offers a lot of privacy to
its guests.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Jamboree Creek’s USP is that they grow their own herbs and most of the fruits and
vegetables for consumption on property. All produce is grown organically.
Differences are Distinctive and Preemptive.
No competitor grows it produce organically on the property itself.
All competition hotels are located on the beach which do not offer privacy.

It is now generally agreed by academics, government and the tourism industry that ecotourism can be identified by three core criteria: nature, learning, and sustainability (Beaumont, 1998; Blamey, 1995; Weaver, 2008). The marketers (group 1) have decided to segment according to psychographic & behavioural segmentation.
An important parameter of ecotourist market segmentation is the concept of a hard-to-soft spectrum that takes into account associated motivations and behaviour (Weaver and Lawton, 2002).
