Business Plan: Travelling and Adventures Company

Desirability and Demand

Most people especially celebrities and couples organize for adventures and travels locally and internationally but are always disappointed by their managers and agencies leading to last minute cancels. During holidays, individuals are always overwhelmed with planning for visits to various areas where they have to make arrangements in advance and sometimes forced to travel or send a representative to their planned destinations to arrange for logistics such as accommodation. The business will fill this gap by organizing for all logistics for the clients including travel arrangements, accommodation, guides, and transportation within their destination for an agreed period and back. Consequently, the clients will only be left to one task, which is enjoying their adventure or business. This will save them time and energy thus improving their convenience and adventure experience.

Industry feasibility and Target market

Most people visit various areas in the world as tourists where they arrange for their travel up to their destination where agencies pick them for touring a particular country or a local area. The tours and travel industry comes handy because it bridges the gap between dream and reality. There are few companies in the industry, some of which do not provide comprehensive services. For instance, some companies help customers with traveling services only and those that provide logistics such as accommodation only. This disintegration of services calls for a more comprehensive company to set the trend and satisfy the needs of the customers fully by providing comprehensive services. Industry customers include couples who are dating, engaged, or married, celebrities, company staff going for team building or conferences, families, retreat for government officials, and students’ adventures. The industry is attracting these individuals due to the convenience it offers thus saving them from the hustles involved in traveling and adventure logistics.
