Instructions
Step 1
Research the market and demand. Study the needs of the local population well. You need to know exactly what groups of people your future business will target. Find out how much these people get, which countries they prefer to travel to, how often they take vacations, what time of year, etc. Collect as much information as possible on all potential customers. To do this, you will need the help of a professional sociologist or marketer. Also use the internet for this purpose.
Step 2
Determine which countries and types of travel packages you will provide to your clients. After analyzing the market, think and decide which types of tours will prevail in your organization: local (area), joint tours or overseas. The costs of organizing a business will largely depend on this.
Step 3
Create a smart business plan. This is the most important part of preparing for the opening of a tourism business. Write down a list of expenses that you will need to incur in the first phase of opening and the first few months of operation. Calculate well how much money is needed to open an office, attract staff, draw up documentation and permits, buy furniture, computers and other important supplies.
Step 4
Count on about one million. Also, make a daily plan for how you will come from the current position to the final, i.e. to open your own travel company. This is especially useful for those who have never been involved in entrepreneurial activity at all.
Step 5
Contact your local authority for information and documentation. Find out exactly what documents you need to get to open such a case. You will need permission from the housing office, tax office, fire department and other authorities. Of course, if your office is at home, then this process can be completed much earlier.
Step 6
Find start-up capital for starting a business. Even if you have managed to save a little money to start a tourism activity, consider getting additional funding. You shouldn't risk all your capital. Attract partners or investors who may be interested in continually making a profit from your business.
