ABSTRACT Objective: Study the tourist product focused on the hotels, the restaurants, and the tourist transportation industries, as important components of the tourist offer in Tabasco, from the tourist perspective in order to disclose the status of their attributes regarding the service, the price and the promotion. Materials and methods: A Quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive research of the tourist product in Tabasco was done. Data were collected from the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics, and the Ministry of Tourism, including important contributions from tourist economy authors. 271 questionnaires were applied to tourists, based on the sample population with a confidence level of 90%. In this manner, data on the service provided by the hoteliers, the restaurateurs, and the tourist transport sectors were gathered. Three major variables were studied: product, price and promotion Results: In all three sectors, services are perceived as «good ones» by tourists where the highest percentages (those above 60%) were observed in the hotel rooms and food and beverage in restaurants. Prices show a behavior perceived as a «good one» in the 3 tourist sectors, clarifying that only in the hotel rooms there is a percentage above 60%. Nevertheles, in promotions, even the three sectors are perceived as «good ones», only the restaurants exceed 60%. Conclusion: The three sectors are well perceived by the tourist consumer in regard to service, price, and promotion. However, it is necessary to pay attention on the tourist transportation, because even though it was perceived as a «good one» by the tourist, its percentages are below the average compared to the other studied variables. Therefore, service providers must make innovations especially in the tourist transportation area, in order to be consistent with the changing tourist market that is evolving day by day.Downloads
