SWOT ANALYSIS OF ATNT: (Slide is at the end of doc) STRENGTHS: * Geographically diverse business Geographically diverse business and revenue should help shield the business from shocks in any one part of their business.

Travellers often use criteria such as non-stop service, time of day and flight frequency when selecting an airline. We continuously strive to design a network that meets the needs of our guests and provides affordable air travel that stimulates demand. We continue to add non-stop routes to our network to increase the travel convenience for our guests. For markets without non-stop service and to supplement non-stop routes, we provide through flights or connection services for our guests. To maximize aircraft utilization, we look for opportunities to operate our fleet in off-peak times when the aircraft would otherwise be idle, to serve markets that may not be as time sensitive or may be better served by evening flights.

The entry mode I would recommend for the new line of clothing in the U.S. markets would be a joint venture. It’s the easiest method to begin with, since the clothing business is a new market for Travel Wise. A joint venture will allow Travel Wise to attain knowledge on the clothing business while working with a company already involved in that market. This would give Travel Wise a fallback if the expansion is a bust since the company would be sharing the risks and costs with its partner. As for foreign markets, I would suggest the method of licensing.
This means you can create a value chain for ACC buy looking at activities in each step of the value chain with or without a theme park and see how we can create value to ACC.
