Which aspect has been marketed by organising a mountaineering trek?

Options:

Experience

Events

Ideas

Information

Correct Answer:

Experience

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Experience.

By organising a mountaineering trek, the company is marketing Experience.

A mountaineering trek is an activity that provides participants with a unique experience. It involves engaging customers in an adventure that offers personal involvement, learning, and enjoyment. Therefore, experience is the aspect being marketed by organizing a mountaineering trek.

Let's look at why the other options are less likely:

  • Events: While the trek is an event, the core offering being marketed is the experience of participating in it, rather than just the event itself.
  • Ideas: Spreading information about family planning (option c in the initial list) would be marketing an idea. A mountaineering trek is a physical activity.
  • Information: While participants might receive some information related to the trek, the primary draw is the activity and the resulting experience, not the information itself.
