How to open a tour desk
Video: My NEW Office Tour! *desk + stationery organization* 2024, July
Even small towns have their own beautiful and interesting places. If your hobby is the history of your native land, you can turn it into a business by opening a small tour desk. This business is unlikely to bring big profits, but it will hardly require investments.
Instruction manual
1
Buy a guide to your city, look on the Internet, what interesting places it has. You may find some beautiful legends. All this can be used for future excursions. A small summary should be made for each place, including the most interesting points. If you plan to conduct excursions for children, then think about entertaining scenarios.
2
You can conduct excursions both personally and by hiring those who want to be guides. At first, you will most likely handle it yourself. At first, you do not need an office: it will be your own apartment (in which you are entitled to register as an individual entrepreneur). Orders for excursions you can take both by phone and on the Internet.
3
To know about your business, you will need to give an advertisement about it. Advertising in the press and on the Internet is appropriate (the formation of interest groups on social networks). After the first excursions, word of mouth will work: people who are interested in culture and history will tell their friends about you. It will also be good to make the site of the tour desk and post the schedule of upcoming excursions on it.
4
To determine the price for each excursion per person, find out how much your excursions cost, if any, for your competitors. Since you are just getting started, your prices should be lower, but not by much. If you do not have competitors, think about how much the average resident of your city would pay for the tour, ask friends about it. Excursions should be available, but this does not mean the need to establish extremely low prices.
5
A tour desk can only be the beginning of an interesting business in the field of culture and history. If your city has a more or less large intellectual audience, you can also engage in teaching and educational activities, for example, give lectures.
