Pricing strategy refers to the systematic approach adopted by an organization to determine the amount it will charge customers for its products or services in order to achieve specific marketing and organizational objectives. In tourism marketing, pricing strategy is not merely about setting a monetary value on a hotel room, tour package, airline seat, or attraction ticket; it involves careful consideration of demand patterns, seasonality, competition, perceived value, cost structures, and target market characteristics. Because tourism products are intangible, perishable, and highly sensitive to external factors such as economic conditions and consumer trends, pricing becomes a complex and dynamic decision-making process. In the context of the marketing mix, price is one of the most flexible and powerful elements.

For example, airlines and hotels frequently revise prices based on occupancy levels, booking patterns, and seasonal demand. This flexibility allows tourism organizations to respond effectively to fluctuations in demand, competitor actions, and changes in consumer preferences. Pricing strategy in tourism must align with organizational objectives. If a company aims to penetrate a new market, it may adopt a penetration pricing strategy by setting lower prices to attract a large number of customers and gain market share. Conversely, a luxury resort may use premium pricing to position itself as an exclusive and high-quality destination. In both
