Bass Diffusion Model (1968):
 Represents an S curve – Just like the Product- or DestinationLife Cycle
 Can be used for forecasting the slope of the S curve, on the
basis of the market potential and the degree of imitation and
innovation
© Alexis Papathanassis
Source: Nee & Papathanassis (2011)
Assumptions:
 Market Potential in Germany approx. 5 million
─
─

Travellers spending more than €1700 on a vacation
Demographic structure remains the same
Innovation and imitation coefficients are calculated from the
historical data (currently demand is determined by imitators –
cruise market has left the introduction phase)
The only form of
continuous growth is
taxation… but not for
cruises!

Perhaps the ‘evil eye’ is not a superstition…
… But a metaphor for the inevitability of
systemic laws in the age of a technological
diffusion and digital democracy!
