Chapter 12 - Tourism components and supply. The purpose of this chapter is to look at just one segment of the tourism phenomenon by examining the physical supply side of tourism. It is important for a tourist area to identify and categorize its supply components and compare them with the competition because the quality and quantity of supply components are a critical factor in determining tourism’s success. | Tourism Components and Supply 12 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Know the four major supply components any tourist area must possess. Be able to use the mathematical formula to calculate number of guest rooms needed for estimated future demand. Develop ability to perform a task analysis to match supply components with anticipated demand. Discover methods of adjusting supply components in accordance with fluctuating demand levels.

The following steps are usually employed: Identification of present demand A quantitative and qualitative inventory of existing supply Adequacy of present supply with present demand Examination of present markets and socioeconomic trends Forecast of tourism demand Matching supply with anticipated demand Demand Overcrowding and loss potential business Low occupancies Months Supply Seasonality can be reduced through either price differentials or multiple use FLUCTUATING DEMAND LEVELS AND SUPPLY (SEASONALITY) | Tourism Components and Supply 12 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Know the four major supply components any tourist area must possess.
