In 2012, around six-lakh (6 hundred thousand) tourists came Bangladesh to visit and enjoy its beauty. The total contribution of tourism to GDP was 4.4%, 3.8% to employment and 1.5% to investment in 2013. Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC) looks after the tourism sector in Bangladesh under the ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism. There are a lots of scope to improve or succeed in maximum businesses by doing it in tourist’s industry.

We will be operating as a stakeholder of tourism industry because any tourists coming to visit there will be our customer and this is our one of the biggest strength for our business. We have our own business plan for future operation for which we have given concentration in few or required side which includes:Introduction to products.Marketing plan.Management and organizational plan.Financial plan.Overall view/conclusion.Besides these we have been trying to make sure that we can ensure our business a whole new concept for our consumer and create a new era of business by providing these kind of products. On the contrary we have taken many initiatives to make our above identified planning turn into a successful one by using necessary strategies as we are planning for the best.

Introduction/ Background:Synopsis: This part of our business plan includes the idea of our business, description of the products which are famous food items from various district of our country, the kind of benefits it will carry for the customer as well as the possible competition of our business.The main idea of our business is to provide gastronomy products or famous food items from possible districts of Bangladesh to the tourist places all over the country.In addition, we will be making sure that customer from every corner of the world get to taste these foods which are only available in our country.

Product/Service: As we are talking about the famous items of food we mean foods that are known for its unique taste, feature and of course the place from it belongs to. These food items are: Pickle and nuts of Cox’s BazarRashmalai of ComillaDoi of BograChomchom of TangailKachagolla of NatoreSondesh of NaogaonRather than these food items we will provide basic food items that are usually needed for any kind of food venue which are: Water, drinks, fast food items and other necessary foods. But our main target is to attract customer with these gastronomy items which will provide value to our business.

Problem solving: Not exactly problem solving but our business focuses on to provide the customer with those famous food items that are not available in any places except the specific district from where it belongs to. It will make customer easier to collect those foods and they will get to know more about our country that will make them closer to those places. It will save them enough time and money by purchasing these foods from us without actually being in any of those districts. It may appear to be: Easier to get these foods.Time consuming as they don’t need to go to those districts.Money saving.

Taste different food with quality assurance.Getting these foods with best approaches.Possible competition: There will be hardly any competition from similar products because it will be a whole new idea for this kind of business.

On the other side, we have to make sure that customer get to know about our food items for which the business mainly stands for. The possible competition can come from the other shops which are available in tourist places with new and innovative food items that attracts customers. Besides we have to make sure that customer truly identifies our foods and they may not take it as clone food.Benefit of product: The strength of our business is that these food items will easily make our customer benefited from both sides and will make them purchase without any doubts or second thought. Anyone being a citizen of Bangladesh will definitely come to our shop and will purchase these foods because of its unique taste and quality and last but not least these are the foods that every Bengali person will surely taste as we are culturally fond of foods.Marketing Plan:Synopsis: Here in this part of our planning we will be discussing our entry forces, STP tactics, marketing mix and marketing implementation to ensure a perfect marketing execution.The heart of your business success lies in its marketing. Most aspects of your business depend on successful marketing.

The overall marketing umbrella covers advertising, public relations, promotions and sales. Marketing is a process by which a product or service is introduced and promoted to potential customers. So as we are entering into tourism market we must analyse the entry strategies by Michaele Porter’s five forces model: Supplier Power: Here you assess how easy it is for suppliers to drive up prices. This is driven by the number of suppliers of each key input, the uniqueness of their product or service.Buyer Power: Here you ask yourself how easy it is for buyers to drive prices down. As buyers can be a good source of benefit for us and that’s why we must choose as per our best interest.Competitive Rivalry: What is important here is the number and capability of your competitors. If you have many competitors, and they offer equally attractive products and services, then you’ll most likely have little power in the situation.

Threat of Substitution: This is affected by the ability of your customers to find a different way of doing what you do. Here we must analyse the possible similar products to avoid this type of threats.Threat of New Entry: Power is also affected by the ability of people to enter your market. If it costs little in time or money to enter your market and compete effectively, if there are few economies of scale in place, or if you have little protection for your key technologies, then new competitors can quickly enter your market and weaken your position.

Marketing Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning (STP):Market segmentation: There are several strategies for segmentation but we must choose that one which matches to our business. Among various segmentation we should use Geographic segmentation because we will be doing our business in selected places where there will be consumer from all over the world. Market targeting: Here our target customers will be everyone who has come to visit the tourist spots. Therefor we should pick undifferentiated or mass marketing strategy where we will target the whole market with one offering.Market positioning: Positioning mainly deals with the offering of products to the customer. In other way the products which attracts customer the most or customer chooses among the same products. That’s why we must offer our product with most advanced way and ensure the quality to our target customer.

Marketing Mix: Marketing mix is the set of tactical marketing tools- product, place, price and promotion that the firm blends to produce the response it wants in the target market.Product: As our main objective is to offer famous foods of Bangladesh to the target customer, we must offer our specific product in way that it must carry value in return. The product must contain it’s own unique value and should make it different from others by ensuring: VarietyQualityDesignServicesFeaturesPrice: Price is what derives customer to buy a product. That’s one of the ways to bring customer. So price should be in a reasonable range where customer can afford to purchase a product. As we are selling the gastronomy products we must consider the facts of ensuring those within the limit of the buyer’s perception.

Place: As discussed before our target customer and place is the tourist spots. So any kind of popular or historic spots should be our main target to start up business. Even in tourist places we must ensure that customer get to know about our shop and our offerings which will be done by the next segment.Promotion: Promotional strategy should be a weapon to attract customer and that’s why we must pick up promotional tools in the best way. Promotion will ensure the achievement of our business and will help us to attract target customer.

For our business from various promotional tools we should use advertising. For that we can use: Online advertising.Social sites.
