Intangibility of Tourism industry
Travel products cannot be touched as they include flight experience on an airplane, cruise on an ocean liner, a night’s rest in a hotel, view of the mountains, a visit to a museum, a good time in a night club and much more. These products are experiences. Once they have taken place they can only be recalled and relished. The tangible products on an airplane, a bed in a hotel, food in a restaurant are used to create the experience but these are not what the customer is seeking. The customer wants intangible experience like pleasure, excitement, relaxation, etc. The tangible products that are purchased provide the access to intangibles.
