We have selected wine tasting theme tour, because we both are

students from hospitality industry by our previous study

background, especially we have specialized in food and beverage

division. So this theme tour would be great experience to explore

our skills and knowledge about different wine types and its taste.

This is the main reason why we have chosen our future tour.

Moreover, Barossa is best place for business tourism, organizing

meeting, exhibition, conferences; the Barossa offers a wealth of

authentic and inspiring experiences for any business function.

Target Market Explanation

As per our knowledge in management, we would say that target market can

defined based on various types, may be it can be related to the particular

product selling of region or may be it can be targeted based on visitors age,

gender, job profile and main purpose of visit on that place. So we have

defined both here.

Basically we have selected two elements for target market in terms of

Business within the destination and Selling of popular and specified

products of Barossa.

1) BUSINESS WITHIN THE DESTINATION

Destination is mainly for Business traveler. They would be the first

prior Tourists in fulfillment of target market goal. Because Barossa is

best business tourism place and it can provide facilities for any size

of groups and people, but mostly Business travelers would be here

main objective for target market.

Our strategy in the Plan is based on having clearly defined that Business

traveler will visit the region given the likelihood that they will become repeat

visitors to the region and on the nature and level their expenditure ontourism related items along with completion of their main business purpose

and events in Barossa.

2) POPULAR PRODUCT SELLING

Generally, Barossa is world famous for its multiple types of wines,

but as we have specified earlier in destination detail that Shiraz is

main Wine type and a product which is main target market goal in

terms of bringing more wine traders and companies. The main

product must be specified for targeting customers or traders. Not

only it is only for wine traders but the tourists who are wine lovers

and professional wine taster will obvious our target towards specified

popular Shiraz.

DATE SELECTION AND EXPLANATION

Barossa is having very clear weather throughout the year; we can

recommend any time and any month for visiting this place.

But, as per our theme tour destination, autumn will be the best season for

tasting the wines. Because wines are taken out from fermentation process,

so we would taste distinct and freshest wine on tongue.

Another reason is selecting autumn would more comfortable for leisure

tourists and children as they would be enjoying crush festival vintage

festival in autumn.

Gift Suggestion

I would purchase Hand-made wooden- wine bottle

and bottle stopper for representing my tour

memory forever.

This is wooden wine contained bottle, but it is

specially made from oak wood it is been sold to the

tourists for just remembrances of wine-tasting

tour. Especially wood wine stopper will be my key-

chain. However gifts are not so much costly butthey will remember us the wine tour forever.

One more gourmet gift will be famous Australian

lollis and chocolates from Adelaide city.
