How important is the domestic tourism market?
Contributes $12.4 Billion annually to NZ economy
57% of the contribution from tourism Yet almost all coordinated marketing
focuses on international travelers

Goal of our workUnderstand size and composition of
groups with in the marketProduce segments that are good
predictors of both travel type and frequency
Simple and easy to understand for:

Principal Components Analysis
Need to narrow down the 200 or so variables
While losing as little information as possible
Also means the segmentation inputs are not correlated

Segmentation Approach
Use K-means to identify similar groupsAvoid hierarchical clustering because we
need to keep it simple8 segments were used to balance
simplicity and detail

Many ways to skin a cat
SAS coding (very flexible, slower)Enterprise Guide (slightly less flexible,
faster, good for graphing results)JMP (slightly less flexible, faster run time)Enterprise Miner (fast development,
transforming and imputing is easy, easy to profile segments)
