Executive Summary The vibrant and exotic atmosphere of Delhi local markets can make shopping lots of fun. One of the biggest sectors is apparel sector. Local apparel markets in Delhi sell hundreds or thousands of products daily. It is not only famous in Delhi but people from all over India do their wedding shopping from Delhi shops which are cheap and of new fashion. People do planned as well as unplanned shopping from these local shops.

...it is said, is the king… each is a voter who uses his money as votes to get the things done that he wants done” [Samuelson in Oxford Dictionary of 20th Century Quotations, 2000:274]. There is no question about it – consumers are paramount to the economy. All marketing decisions are based on assumptions about consumer behaviour [Hawkins et al., 2001:8, Mulkern, 2001:126; and Labbe, 2000:38]. In order to create value for consumers and profits for organisations, marketers need to understand why consumers behave in certain ways to a variety of product and services offered. In order to determine the factors that influence the preferences of the Millennial Generation, an understanding of how consumers generally think and behave in buying situations is vital. This chapter starts off with a model of consumer behaviour, which will serve as the foundation of this chapter’s structure. The first part of the model takes an in-depth look at internal, external and other influences that are relevant for the purpose of this study, whilst the second part examines the consumer decision-making process in detail. 2.2 Model of consumer behaviour Understanding consumer behaviour and “knowing customers,” have and never will be simple. Consumers may say one thing but do another. They may not be in touch with their deeper motivations. They may respond to influences that change their mind at the last minute. These issues have lead to theories like that of the black box approach...

...Rodolfo Baggio Marianna Sigala Alessandro Inversini Juho Pesonen Editors Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2014 eProceedings of the ENTER 2014 PhD Workshop in Dublin, Ireland. January 21, 2014 Preface The advent of Information and communication technology (ICT) has had a paramount impact on tourism. The effects of this revolution continue to change the nature of contemporary tourism on a day-to-day base. The globalization of information, open innovation, better access, collaboration in a generation of information and technological convergence, have all contributed to the design of a new scientific paradigm. Thanks to our passion for research and to the continuous advancements in the technological ecosystem as well as the possibility of better understanding human activity and behavior we are on the threshold of a new era of the social science of tourism. This new social and technological paradigm affects tourism and human mobility in a way that gives the research process unheard-of possibilities. The current level of technological development allows for the construction of objects that are smaller, more intelligent and embedded in the environment and even wearable. These objects, which record and learn our habits are connected to the Internet and they have computing capabilities. They can also be interconnected and generate large quantities of information to benefit the environment in which they are located as well as the travellers that possess...
