PUSH/PULL MODEL AS A TOOL FOR MARKETING RESEARCH OF THE DOMESTIC TOURISM MARKET

Keywords: tourism marketing, domestic tourism, tourist destination, push-pull model, motivation factors

Abstract

The article summarises and systemises the capabilities of the push/pull model and the use of this model for marketing research of the domestic tourism market in Ukraine. The main stages of formation of models of tourist motivation, allocation of push and pull factors in the tourism sector are considered. The achievements of foreign researchers in terms of tourist motivation are analysed, as well as the models used to analyse the factors and indicators of motivation, destination or country and type of tourism. The main advantages and disadvantages of using the push/pull model for marketing analysis of the domestic tourism market are allocated and formed. By analysing the effectiveness of push and pull strategies in the domestic tourism market, marketers can optimise their marketing mix to achieve better results. It is noted that the peculiarities of using this model are based on the perceptions of domestic consumers of tourism services on tourist destinations of the average country. Since the vision of international tourists is usually based on the "outside" view, the vision of domestic tourists usually comes from the "inside" of the destination. Sometimes these are fundamentally different visions, and therefore the motivation will be different. Therefore, when using this tool, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of destination sub-brands that exist in the context of the overall brand. It has been determined that taking into account the motivation of tourists and all the factors that influence their choice of destination can give a significant boost to the development of the tourism business. By collecting and analysing information about what attracts tourists to a particular destination, you can adapt services and develop marketing campaigns that better meet the needs and interests of each tourist. In addition, by tracking the tourist's journey and receiving feedback, you can improve the overall image of the destination and attract more tourists. Identifying the motivation for tourism is the first step in building customer loyalty. It should be borne in mind that each tourist is unique, so you need to approach them individually and offer personalised services that better meet their needs and desires.
