INTRODUCTION The global economy has many options for the growth and development. The travel industry is becoming important for generating employment and earning wealth. In today s travel industry, the customer is global and is king or queen. The travel industry is the world s largest industry and is the most international in nature. (OCLC).The purpose of the business is to create and maintain satisfied,profitable customers (Levitt)So tourist satisfaction is important to create a brand value for the destination and make a strategic base with good tourist facilities. The aim of the strategist is to know and understand customers so well that product or service fits them and sells itself. (Drucker) The beginning of the organized travel marketing required the cooperation of cruise lines. Airlines, auto rental firms, and passenger railways cooperatively developed packages with cruise lines. This requires coordination in pricing, promotion and delivery of those packages. The government agencies play an important role through legislation aimed at enhancing the industry and through promotion of regions, states and nations. (Cruise Forum)The tourist satisfaction is based on past buying experiences, the opinions of friends and market information. The tourism industry is growing in Rajasthan and the State reflects its success by the colorful development of Jaipur and the heritage tourism of Jodhpur. Jodhpur is an important destination for growth of cultural and heritage tourism. Jodhpur stands on sandstone hills, surrounded by a strong wall nearly 10 km in length, with seven gates. The city is dominated and surmounted by a massive fortress. Within the walls are royal palaces with priceless jewels and a striking collection of arms. Sightseeing of Jodhpur includes visit to the Fort, Palaces, Armory and Jaswant Thada. Mehrangarh Fort is situated at an altitude of about 125 meters. The Fort is spread over an area of 5 sq km in the heart of the city of Jodhpur. The fort has seven gates of which the noted ones are the Jayapol, built by Maharaja Man Singh in Jaswant Thada in Jodhpur is a white marble memorial built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant II in 1899 A story goes that Maharaja Jaswant succumbed to injuries in this place while fighting the Mughal king Jahangir.

Destination marketing is an integral part of developing and retaining a particular location s popularity. Too often, however tourism planners focus only on destination developments without paying attention to retaining an preserving the attributes that attracted travelled to the destination in the first place (Jim Bergstorm)Tourism planners need to do the planning of the destination in such a there is demand for tourism in the future also. Destination must choose their events to fit the needs of the locality, since each event draws on its own type of crowd. (Juergren) It is important for all tourism businesses and agencies to work together to promote the destination and to ensure that visitor s expectations are met. State tourism organizations should work with national organizations and local organizations. Hotels and airlines and the local business managers should promote the destination with sense of pride and ethics.
