Article Abstract:
The importance of marketing was raised at the first marketing leisure industry conference to be held in the UK in October 1998. The delegates were told organisations must focus attention on marketing because of the threat posed by the emergence of new technologies, such as the Internet, which provided online travel booking services. The conference was warned about the predicted economic downturn which would see more people spending time at home, rather than spending money on leisure activities.

Increased use of the Internet by the UK adult population presents an ideal opportunity for the leisure industry to market itself using the medium of websites and internet links. Immediate impact websites are essential if a company wishes to get itself noticed, making it necessary to employ skilled website designers. The development of leisure club loyalty cards and industry partnering schemes is an effective method of marketing the competitive leisure industry.
