Competition in the tourism business does not subside, and in order to increase the chances of success, you can buy a ready-made business or use a franchise scheme. The minimum price level to enter this business is $ 10,000. It is clear that the finished profitable project costs significantly more.
Instructions
Step 1
Plan to open an agency between December and February because this business is seasonal. The main profit comes in the summer months, and by this time you will have time to gain experience and not miss out on potential customers.
Step 2
Call tel. (495) 545-36-78 to the Vell franchise network of agencies. Do not rush to cooperate immediately, because you need to consider several proposals and choose the best. The development director of this network, Roman Salikhov, will answer questions related to the creation and establishment of a new business. You will receive an independent project, but on the agreed terms, i.e. you will not be alone in the competition. It is easier to enter the market “on the shoulders” of an experienced company than to create an agency entirely on your own.
Step 3
Call tel. 8-800-700-10-40 to contact the specialists of the Geography company. They will also offer a franchise scheme, with no entrance and monthly fees, as is usually the case with this form of cooperation. The company has been working with the leading tour operators of the market for a long time, therefore it receives increased discounts from them. This is an opportunity for you to increase your profits.
Step 4
Contact other Moscow companies operating on the same principle. Compare offers, visit offices, study customer reviews on the Internet. Decide which firm to work with.
Step 5
To save on accounting services, consider the issue of accounting and reporting through specialized Internet services. It is cheaper than maintaining a highly qualified accountant. Compare this opportunity with the scheme of work offered by franchise firms. It might be worth talking about changing some of the conditions. As for other business issues - marketing, advertising, customer service, resolving controversial issues - you will receive full support and training from the head office. Perhaps the considered method of opening a travel agency should be considered less risky for a novice entrepreneur compared to buying a ready-made business or working independently from scratch.
