SWOT Analysis
Target Audience
Young people and families (25-34, 35-49) who travel for fun
Germans—traveling for adventure and culture
Brazilians—traveling for luxury and skiing
Why Target German Tourists?
Germany is culturally diverse, modern, and cosmopolitan. Germans enjoy celebrating carnival, wine and beer festivals, and music festivals.
Disposable income: The GfK purchasing power for Germany in 2011 will total EUR 1,610.2 billion, which is 2.6% more than in 2010. The average German can therefore expect purchasing power of EUR 19,864 in the coming year, to spend on consumption, rent and the costs of living, for example.
Germany has the 4th largest economy in the world and the largest population in Europe.
Why Target Brazilian Tourists?
Brazilians could experience a "stay-cation" and enjoy new scenery and shopping while still staying in South America and close to home.
A new middle class is emerging in Brazil. The percentage of households with an annual disposable income over USD 7,500 has grown from 42.7% in 2005 to 57.1% in 2007. This new middle class has an appetite for consumption, and as in the case of all income levels in Brazil, they too attempt to reach products generally available only to higher income groups, as a way of demonstrating status.
The highest-earning 10% of households earned an average disposable income of USD 72,932 in 2007, an increase of 124% since 2002. There were 390,100 households with a disposable income of more than USD 150,000 in 2007. 45.8% of disposable income is concentrated among the richest 10% of households.
Brazil does not have snow so Brazilians would be interested in staying at skiing resorts in Argentina.

Consumer Insights
“The wine tasting itself took place in an enchanting ambiance. The tour definitely performed its task to show different tastes of wines that are growing in different areas and conditions. In the terms of tasting the wines it fulfilled all my expectations perfectly.”
–Karla, Berlin, GermanyVisited Mendoza in 2011
Consumer Insights
“We have seen glaciers at Gray Lake at Torres del Paine, Spegazzini and Moreno itself by boat, but the Moreno tour walking by the brand new catwalks is breathtaking. When you get to it by the lower and closer levels you start to hear and see the roar and thunder of the falling ice in the water and it turns out to be a unique rush, very unexpected.”
– Sergio, São Paulo, BrazilVisited El Calafate in 2009
