Play a direct production role. Based on the plan, organize and arrange tour guides for tourism programs. In addition, build, maintain and develop a team of tour guides and collaborators.

Closely coordinate with departments in the enterprise to carry out the work most effectively. Tour guides must fully perform the functions and tasks in accordance with the regulations of the enterprise. Tour guides are the ones who directly contact with customers, representing the Center as a bridge between the Center and tourists, connecting destinations and different cultures with tourists to increase the value of resources and services. Because tourists are people from far away, at first they always feel bewildered and strange. Tour guides are the ones who grasp the psychology and feelings of customers, must always care for and guide customers to create a comfortable and trustworthy feeling for customers. Therefore, the tour guide department in general and tour guides in particular play a very important role in the operation of the Center.

2.1.3. Business environment of the Center

The business environment of an enterprise includes all factors, favorable and unfavorable conditions that directly or indirectly affect the business activities of the enterprise. The business environment can be divided into external environment and internal environment.

External environment :

The external environment includes factors that are outside the scope of the business, but can have a major impact on the business's operations. Usually, businesses cannot control the environment.


This. Furthermore, changes and developments in the external environment are difficult to predict, including: economic factors, political factors, laws, natural factors and technology.

+ Economic factors : Hai Phong City is a national first-class urban area and has high economic growth. In general, the economic situation of the city is stable. Economic development means that people's lives are improved, thanks to high income, the demand for travel increases. This is a condition for travel companies in the city in general and Thanh Dat Travel Center in particular.

+ Political factors: This is a factor that greatly affects most travel companies. In general, the political situation of the city is stable. For Thanh Dat Travel Center, this is a favorable condition for organizing tours in the city, and for people, it is a condition for participating in tourism. In addition, state policies create conditions for people to have more demand for travel such as: increasing salaries, increasing days off (weekends, vacations, holidays...)

+ Natural factors: Natural factors not only create a business environment but are also the direct exploitation objects of the tourism industry. In particular, natural tourism resources are always valued by tourism businesses and exploited to serve tourists because this is the preferred choice of most domestic and international tourists. The general trend of Vietnam tourism as well as tourism in the world is to be close to nature.

Vietnam has many natural factors favorable for tourism development such as: hot and humid climate with high sunshine hours, large sea area with many beautiful beaches such as Nha Trang, Lang Co, Cat Ba... and many beautiful landscapes, especially Ha Long Bay and Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, Dong Van Stone Plateau have been recognized by UNESCO as World Natural Heritage.

Hai Phong city alone has many natural factors favorable for tourism development such as: Cat Ba Island, Do Son Beach, Thien Van Hill... natural factors


However, the above are favorable conditions for travel businesses in general and Thanh Dat Travel Center in particular to exploit and serve tourists.

There are also a number of factors that directly affect business operations such as: customers, competitors, suppliers...

+ Customers: Currently in Hai Phong, the composition of tourists is increasingly diverse. If in the past, tourists were mainly civil servants in the state administrative sector, schools, and medical centers, now the target group has been expanded to include workers in factories, enterprises, farmers' associations, women's associations, etc. The change in the current composition of customers has a great impact on the Center's operations, namely: The needs of tourists are increasingly diverse, the payment capacity of each customer group is not the same, so the Center has difficulty in forming different prices for each customer group. Difficulty in improving and innovating products, creating separate products to suit each customer group.

+ Competitors: Currently, there are over 100 companies and businesses in the city doing tourism business. Especially new competitors are pushing to exploit the market, have many promotional and discount policies to compete and attract customers. Therefore, the level of competition between travel agencies in the market is becoming more and more fierce. As a new business entering the tourism business, the Center is currently trying to expand the market, improve its products to further enhance its competitiveness compared to competitors in the area. This is a big difficulty and challenge for the development of the Center.

+ Suppliers: The Center has been building relationships with suppliers nationwide. However, the Center's current relationships with suppliers are still limited. This causes difficulties for the Center when suppliers force prices down. This reflects the Center's new maturity. Recognizing this problem, the Center is looking for ways to create relationships


Contact another supplier to avoid problems with the old supplier.

Internal environment

+ Substitute products: This is an issue that the Center is concerned about because substitute products are very effective competitive weapons compared to competitors. Therefore, in addition to traditional products, mainly tourism programs, the Center has built some new content such as promotional programs, improving the quality of old products...

These are the internal factors of the Center and the internal system of the enterprise. The internal environment of the enterprise includes functional areas such as: labor resources, capital, technical facilities, and organizational discipline of the Center.

+ Labor resources: Play a very important role in the success of the enterprise. Because people are the factor that provides input data to plan goals, implement and check the strategies of the enterprise... Currently, the Center has a team of employees who are basically trained through schools and have a fairly strict recruitment regime. In general, the departments in the enterprise have done their tasks well. However, some departments still show their weaknesses, especially the guidance department. This has a great impact on the overall operation of the enterprise. Therefore, the Center should pay attention to the training and development of its employees.

+ Capital: This is one of the important factors that determine the success of the business. With the current working capital of more than 2 billion VND, the Center is capable of implementing many investment plans. This is a favorable factor for the success of the Center.

+ Technical facilities: Currently, the Center has an advantage over other travel business centers in the city, which is that the center has a fleet of tourist vehicles: 24 seats, 2 29-seat vehicles, 2 38-seat vehicles, and 1 45-seat vehicle. Thanks to that, the Center can be proactive in organizing tours and has an advantage in making competitive policies. In addition, the center's representative branch at 35 My Hao -


Hung Yen has also done its job well. However, during peak season, the above facilities have not met the needs of tourists, so there are situations of tour postponement, car rental outside...

+ Policy mechanism of the Center: Any business has a policy mechanism to guide most of the work in the business. A good policy mechanism will be an advantage to promote activities and conversely it can be a disadvantage that hinders the planning and implementation of strategies. Thanh Dat Travel Center understands that and builds for itself a working mechanism to promote all members of the Center to perform their work well such as the regimes: insurance, salary increase, bonus, discipline, leave...

2.2. Current status of domestic tourism exploitation of the Center in recent times.

2.2.1. The Center's customer market.

Exploiting domestic tourists is the strength of the Center. The Center identifies Hai Phong as the main market because in recent years Hai Phong's economy has been constantly developing. People's lives have been improved. Therefore, traveling has become an essential need for everyone. Economic conditions have directly affected people's spending ability, especially the government has applied a 40-hour/week working policy for agencies and businesses... Therefore, the weekend break has been extended, encouraging people to travel more. In addition to the traditional market, the Center has also expanded the market, reaching out to neighboring provinces to attract more visitors to the Center, increase revenue, and move towards dominating the market.

The center identifies its main customer market as workers and civil servants. Because Hai Phong is a city with a developed economy, especially in recent years, the city's industry has developed strongly, attracting many workers not only in Hai Phong but also many workers from neighboring provinces, which makes the number of workers increase. They


have the ability to pay, have time off on weekends, holidays, vacations... that is the condition for them to travel. Understanding that, the Center focuses on exploiting mainly this customer market. Besides, civil servants are also the traditional customer market of the Center. This is clearly shown in the following data table:
