As we have mentioned previously the hospitality industry is global and one of the most profitable specialty segments is the international travel market.
我们之前探讨过酒店旅游业是一个全球性行业,而其中利润最高的专业领域就是国际旅游市场。
In many countries travel and tourism is one of the top exports and contributing billions of dollars in the local economies.
旅游与观光已成为许多国家的最大输出之一,为地方经济带来数十亿的利润贡献。
Several patterns such as point of origin, reasons for travel, destinations and length of stay are taken in consideration in order to attract this market segment.
为了吸引这一市场区间,对客户的出发地、旅游的原因、目的地、逗留时间等相关内容组成的模型进行考察很有必要。
In order to attract global markets, several common concerns of international travelers should be taken in consideration and services providing solution to these concerns must be in place.
想要吸引全球市场,就应考虑国际旅客所关注的常见问题,并为他们提供合适的服务以解决这些问题。

Major needs of international travelers        国际旅客的主要需求为:

Making reservations, language barriers, and transportation to the hotel, methods of payment and special appliances.
预订服务、语言障碍、酒店交通、付款方式以及特殊用具。

International hotels have developed many procedures, upgraded their facilities in order to answer these needs.
国际酒店开发了很多程序,并为设备升级,以此来满足旅客需求。

In today’s globally connected world, most international travelers heavily depend their travel plans on “online services” therefore a hospitality and tourism organization should optimize its online presence in an effective way to reach out the international audience.
在今天这个全球紧密联结的世界,绝大部分国际旅客制定出行计划时都非常依赖“线上服务”,因此酒店旅游业公司应当最大程度地优化在线业务,以这种有效的方式接触全球的目标受众。
For example having the company website available in several languages makes it easier for the international travelers to get information about the services, facilities and amenities of a property.
比如公司网站有几个不同的语言版本,能让国际旅客更容易查找有关酒店的服务、设施及环境等。
Using effectively all online social media, designing various sales promotions and adapting to cultural sensitivities are key to a successful selling to global audiences.
有效运用所有的线上社交媒体、策划不同的折扣促销、适应文化的敏感性都是赢得全球目标客户的成功关键。

We will discuss selling to special segments in the next section.
