2. CONCEPT AND CLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS PERFORMANCE.

2.1. Concept.

Efficiency from the perspective of system theory is a category that reflects the need for time-saving laws. This law operates in many modes of social production, so this category also exists in many modes of social production. Wherever and whenever, people want to operate most effectively.

In economic analysis, economic efficiency is reflected through economic and technical indicators determined by the comparative ratio between output resources and input resources of the social production system, reflecting the level of resource use and creating benefits to achieve socio-economic goals. Economic efficiency is understood as the level of use of available resources to achieve the highest business results at the lowest costs.

Unlike other national economic sectors, when talking about tourism efficiency, we must consider both aspects: economic efficiency and social efficiency. Social efficiency demonstrates the will to contribute to protecting society and improving the health of working people.

thereby increasing the life expectancy and working capacity of the people. The social efficiency of tourism is also reflected in the level of social contribution, the working capacity of the residents in the tourist area, improving social awareness, and the level of environmental resource protection.

Economic efficiency: is reflected in the level of utilization of production factors and tourism resources within a certain period of time to create a volume of high quality goods and services to satisfy the needs of tourists at the lowest cost and to protect the environment.

In the normal production and business sector, economic efficiency represents the correlation between production results and production costs. As for tourism business activities, the standard of economic efficiency is achieved through the goal of ensuring the highest income (in both foreign and local currency) with the lowest cost of living labor and materialized labor (under economic conditions that are profitable for the industry and the national economy).

2.2. Classification of international tourism business efficiency.

Depending on different research contents and purposes, people divide international tourism efficiency into different types.

* Economic efficiency and social efficiency.

* Immediate and long term effects.

- Immediate effectiveness: evaluates the effectiveness of serving a certain number of tourists in a certain period of time (usually less than 1 year) and earning a certain amount of foreign currency (or hinge) greater than the cost. This indicator is often applied to businesses with low service capacity, quick capital recovery and unstable operations.

- Long-term effectiveness: Similar to immediate effectiveness, but determined over a longer period of time (usually over 1 year). This indicator applies to large-scale enterprises, stable operations and the ability to expand the market.

*Overall efficiency and part efficiency.

- Divisional efficiency: is the efficiency determined on each customer market that the company serves in the overall markets.

- Overall efficiency: is the sum of the partial efficiencies, is the efficiency calculated for the entire system.

- In the scope of this article, we are only interested in the first classification, that is, efficiency is divided into economic efficiency and social efficiency. All economic components participating in social production must pay attention to the above two criteria. Depending on each economic component, the proportion of these two criteria is different. For private enterprises, limited liability companies, and foreign companies, economic efficiency is more important than social efficiency, while for state-owned enterprises, social efficiency is more important.

Economic efficiency is determined through a comparison between business performance indicators (revenue) and the costs incurred to achieve those results.

The concept of business efficiency can be expressed as follows:

+ Relatively.

Business efficiency: H= DT

CF

In there :

H is business efficiency.

DT is the revenue of business activities (usually in 1 year). CF is the cost necessary to carry out business activities.

+ Relatively.

H = DT - CF

For state-owned enterprises, talking about business efficiency means talking about economic efficiency and social efficiency. Based on the business goals and strategies of that industry, even if there is little, no or loss in economic efficiency, but in return still achieves social efficiency, then it is still considered business efficiency.

Thus, the effectiveness of international tourism business in particular or business effectiveness in general is considered on the overall table of two economic and social aspects and calculated according to the formula.

H q = H kt + H xh

In which: H q is business performance

H kt is economic efficiency H xh is social efficiency.

2.3. The need to improve the efficiency of international tourism business.

Improving business efficiency is not the concern of any individual, any business or any economic sector, but the concern of all economic sectors in the national economy. Achieving business efficiency also marks a step forward in economic development.

In the context of our country's current economy, implementing the industrialization and modernization process, enhancing measures to improve business efficiency is even more important. The common development of all economic sectors will contribute to bringing Vietnam's economy closer to integration with the economies of countries in the region and the world. All innovations are truly meaningful when and only when they increase business results, thereby increasing business efficiency. Business efficiency also reflects the quality of the entire management work and ensures the highest results of business activities.

With international tourism activities, business efficiency reflects the level of organization, management, and development strategies of a country for tourism activities as well as the development of international tourism businesses.

We have known the role of international tourism in the national economy. Therefore, we understand more clearly the importance of improving the efficiency of international tourism business. Tourism development will stimulate the development of other economic sectors such as transportation, communications, hotels, service sectors including scenic spots, historical relics and traditional industries. Tourism development also contributes to improving the international balance of payments, increasing foreign currency revenue and creating jobs for workers. The efficiency of tourism business also plays an important role.

important in rebuilding the economy, improving machinery and equipment, and business means.

Achieving business efficiency in international tourism also means saving resources and raw materials for society, which is the basis for businesses to be able to expand production, increase customer service capacity, increase prestige and expand international relations.

For workers, labor efficiency (salary and social benefits) is a driving force that stimulates workers to work enthusiastically and confidently, and to pay more and more attention to work efficiency, their responsibilities to the company, and to contribute more and more to the company's development.

Thus, the effectiveness of international tourism business plays an important role for tourism enterprises and the country. To achieve high efficiency, the company must complete the goals and directions set out in each period that are suitable for the company and suitable for the country's context.

3. Indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of international tourism business.

The economic efficiency index of international tourism activities is built on the basis of basic production factors and is expressed as follows:

- Profitability indicators: show the level of cost (or capital) utilization in the process of serving customers, or in other words, profit is the percentage between profit and cost (or capital).

Profit is expressed by the following formula:

d = L x 100 C

d = L x100 V

In which: d - profit (%) calculated by cost or capital L - Profit

C - Cost V - Capital

This indicator shows us that revenue depends on 2 factors:

Net income per dollar and expenses (or capital).

How much profit does a 1% increase in cost (or capital) generate?

The index allows to accurately assess the source of the enterprise's profit, on that basis the enterprise can propose solutions to adjust costs (or capital) appropriately.

- Revenue profitability ratio

H = L

D

In which: L - Profit

D - Revenue

The indicator allows to determine how much profit the business will earn per 1 dong of revenue.

- Overall efficiency index


In there :

E = D

C

E - business efficiency of the enterprise calculated by cost D - revenue

C - Cost

This indicator evaluates the production and business capacity of an enterprise to see how much revenue each dong of cost the enterprise will earn.

If 0 < E < 1, the business is losing money, the revenue does not cover the expenses. The business needs to re-evaluate the expenses, possibly due to purchasing too much equipment, increased costs for tourism programs, skyrocketing prices on the world market while the company's costs do not increase... the business needs to adjust the business plan accordingly.

If E > 1, the business is profitable. Continue to maintain operations as before, if possible, expand customer service capabilities such as opening additional services, investing in equipment and means of tourism service.

In addition to the above indicators, businesses also use a number of other indicators.

other.

- Average revenue per tourist:

D bq = D

n

In which: D bq - Average revenue per tourist.

D - Revenue

n - total number of tourists

- Average productivity per worker

K = D

m

In there :

or K = L

m

K - average labor productivity calculated by revenue (or profit).

D - Revenue

m - Total number of employees

- To be able to evaluate the correlation between advertising costs and revenue in determining the effectiveness of international tourism business, we use the following linear regression function:

y = a + bx (in time).

According to this equation we have: x: advertising cost. y: revenue function

a: impact on revenue due to factors other than advertising. b: impact of advertising costs on revenue.

a, b are calculated as follows:


b =


x

2 = x 2 - x 2

xy xy

a = y - b . x

For example: There is a company with the following data table:
