Room type

Market segmentation refers to dividing a market into distinct groups based on certain characteristics. In this case, room type is not a way to segment a market. Segmentation is typically done based on factors such as demographics (age, gender, income), geography (location, climate), and lifestyle (interests, behaviors). Room type, on the other hand, is a specific attribute or feature within a market segment, rather than a method of segmentation itself.Rate this question:
