Target Audience
The target audience for our website on tourism would have to be those seeking to travel.
And considering the location that we have selected it would be safe to say that our age demographic that we will be targeting would be between the ages of 18-65. As stated bedandbreakfast.comblog, among travelers around the the world most fall under the category of Gen Y (18-34), Gen X (35-45) Pre-Boomers (46-55),well as baby boomers (55-65).
This may seem like a very LARGE age demographic, but we're talking about tourism. Tourism's demographic is basically to anyone who is financially and physically able to travel.
Why 18-65?
During late teens, majority of people leave for college or gain more independence from their parents, and at this point in a person's life they are at their social peak as well as the peak of adventure and trying things out. Even in MMU, right before vacations there are many fliers and packages being passed around for beach trips. Beaches are ideal hot spots for young people, there for they are included in our target audience.
Because majority of people are only beginning to establish themselves in the respective careers during their early twenties while at their late twenties they would have established themselves in their workplace and acquire a stable job, and also be able to save money therefor enabling them to travel.
Also, according to Wikepedia the average age of marriage for a woman is about 27 while males about 29 years of age, so newly weds is also our demographic for Perhentian Island is an ideal location for honeymooners.
Our age demographic reaches up to 65 years of age because it is very common for people in their 30's and 40's to go on family vacations and also for couples ages 50-65 to travel alone after their nests have been emptied and they have retired.
