ट्रेवल एजेंसी बिजनेस कैसे शुरू करें? How to Start Travel Agency in India.

विश्व से लाखों करोड़ों लोग हर वर्ष भारत भ्रमण पर आते हैं, इसलिए भारत में भी Travel Agency नामक यह व्यापार शुरू करना काफी फायदेमंद हो सकता है । टूर एंड टूरिज्म इंडस्ट्री विश्व में एक बहुत बड़ी इंडस्ट्री है जो सम्पूर्ण विश्व में कुल रोजगार का लगभग 6-7% रोजगार पैदा करती है ।  और भारत में ही नहीं अपितु वैश्विक स्तर पर 14% की वार्षिक ग्रोथ के साथ लगातार आगे बढ़ रही है। वैसे देखा जाय तो हम लगातार सुनते आ रहे हैं की ख़ुशी की कोई कीमत नहीं होती, और इसे कहीं से ख़रीदा नहीं जा सकता।

लेकिन वर्तमान परिदृश्य में ट्रेवल के माध्यम से मनुष्य अपनी खुशियाँ खरीदने की कोशिश करता है। यही कारण है की भारत में ही नहीं अपितु पूरे विश्व में आज टूर एंड टूरिज्म इंडस्ट्री अधिकतम ऊंचाई पर पहुँच चुकी है। और यात्रा करना हर किसी व्यक्ति के जीवन का प्रमुख हिस्सा बन गया है। आज सिर्फ लोग व्यक्तिगत कारणों जैसे मनबहलाव एवं खुशियों के लिए ही घूमना फिरना या यात्रा करना पसंद नहीं करते, अपितु अनेकों व्यवसायिक कारणों के चलते भी यात्रा करना एक मजबूरी भी बन गई है।

इसलिए इस परिदृश्य में किसी भी व्यक्ति के लिए खुद की Travel Agency खोलना बेहद लाभकारी हो सकता है। यदि आप भी ट्रेवल प्लान करना अच्छी तरह से जानते हैं और यह करने में आपको आनंद की अनुभूति होती है और जिन दोस्तों, पारिवारिक सदस्यों के लिए आपने ट्रेवल प्लान किया हो वे आपकी तारीफ़ करते हैं। तो फिर तो आपको बिना ज्यादा कुछ सोचते हुए खुद का Travel Agency Business शुरू करने के बारे में विचार करना चाहिए।

ट्रेवल एजेंसी क्या है ( What is Travel Agency in Hindi):

Travel Agency प्राइवेट पर्यटन क्षेत्र के सबसे महत्वपूर्ण संगठनों में से एक है। यह किसी भी देश में टूरिज्म को विकसित एवं बढ़ावा देने की प्रक्रिया में अहम् योगदान अदा करते हैं। इसलिए एक ट्रेवल एजेंसी वह है जो अपने ग्राहकों के लिए यात्रा की टिकटों जैसे हवाई, रेल, सड़क एवं समुद्र परिवहन इत्यादि का प्रबंध करती हैं। ये सिर्फ टिकटों का ही नहीं अपितु यात्रा करने में सहायक दस्तावेज जैसे पासपोर्ट, वीजा इत्यादि का प्रबंध कराने में भी सक्षम होती हैं।

और यात्रा में होने वाले जोखिमों से सुरक्षा के चलते बीमा इत्यादि से लेकर यात्रा के दौरान आवास, मनोरंजन इत्यादि की भी व्यवस्था करती हैं। इसलिए संक्षेप में एक ऐसी एजेंसी जो यात्रियों के लिए परिवहन, आवास, टूर, ट्रिप्स इत्यादि बेचने एवं प्रबंध करने में संलिप्त हो, ट्रेवल एजेंसी कहलाती है।

ट्रेवल एजेंसी कैसे शुरू करें ( How to start a Travel Agency in India)

जैसा की हम उपर्युक्त वाक्य में बात कर चुके हैं की Travel Agency बिजनेस शुरू करना उनके लिए बेहद लाभकारी एवं आनंद महसूस कराने वाला हो सकता है। जिन लोगों को दुसरे का ट्रेवल प्लान करने में खुशी मिलती हो, और वह यह काम प्रभावी ढंग से कर भी पाते हों। वे लोग इस तरह का व्यापार शुरू करके अपने शौक को अवसर में बदल सकते हैं। तो आइये जानते हैं की कैसे कोई व्यक्ति भारत में खुद की ट्रेवल एजेंसी का व्यापार शुरू कर सकता है ।

1. संचालित करने की जगह का निर्णय लें

Travel Agency नामक यह बिजनेस को उद्यमी दो तरीकों से शुरू कर सकता है, वैसे यदि उद्यमी को ट्रेवल इंडस्ट्री की बहुत अधिक जानकारी नहीं है और वह इस क्षेत्र में अनुभव प्राप्त करना चाहता है। तो उसे सर्वप्रथम कोई ऐसी ट्रेवल एजेंसी ढूंढनी होगी जिसके साथ वह बिजनेस शुरू करके न सिर्फ अपनी घर बैठे कमाई कर सकेगा बल्कि इस इंडस्ट्री की उचित जानकारी भी प्राप्त कर पायेगा। और चूँकि इस तरह के व्यवसाय को घर से भी आसानी से शुरू किया जा सकता है ।

इसलिए उद्यमी ऑफिस के किराये, बिजली बिल जैसे इत्यादि खर्चों से बच जायेगा और वह बेहद कम निवेश के साथ किसी और ट्रेवल एजेंसी के साथ इस तरह का बिजनेस शुरू करने में कामयाब हो पायेगा।

लेकिन ध्यान रहे घर से इस तरह का व्यवसाय शुरू करने के लिए उद्यमी के पास लैपटॉप, मोबाइल, इन्टरनेट कनेक्शन इत्यादि होना अति आवश्यक है। इस व्यवसायिक मॉडल में उद्यमी किसी अन्य Travel Agency के उत्पादों को बेचकर कमीशन के माध्यम से अपनी कमाई कर रहा होता है। इसलिए सर्वप्रथम उद्यमी को यही निर्णय लेना होगा की वह इस तरह के बिजनेस को किस जगह अर्थात घर से या फिर किसी किराये के ऑफिस से कहाँ से शुरू करना चाहता है।

2. इन्वेटमेंट के बारे में जानें (Investment to start Travel Agency)

किसी भी बिजनेस को शुरू करने से पहले उसकी Start up Cost के बारे में जानना अति आवश्यक होता है, ताकि उद्यमी इस बात का निर्णय ले पाए की समय या आर्थिक उपलब्धता के आधार पर उसे वह बिजनेस अभी शुरू करना चाहिए या नहीं। जहाँ तक Travel Agency Business का सवाल है इसमें आने वाली लागत इस बात पर निर्भर करती है की उद्यमी इसे अपने घर से शुरू करता है या फिर ऑफिस किराये पर लेकर।

जहाँ इस तरह का बिजनेस घर से शुरू करने के लिए उसे कंप्यूटर, इन्टरनेट कनेक्शन, मोबाइल फ़ोन इत्यादि की आवश्यकता होती है। और यदि किसी व्यक्ति के पास ये तीनों चीजें पहले से मौजूद हों तो उसके लिए इस व्यवसाय को शुरू करने में आने वाली लागत और भी कम हो सकती है। लेकिन यदि उद्यमी बाहर ऑफिस किराये पर लेकर इस तरह का व्यवसाय शुरू करना चाहता है तो उसे ऑफिस का किराया, बिजली, पानी, स्टेशनरी इत्यादि का बिल एवं कम से कम एक ऑफिस अटेंडेंट का वेतन देने की भी आवश्यकता हो सकती है।

इसलिए ध्यान रहे व्यवसाय को शुरू करने में आने वाली लागत एजेंसी के बिजनेस मॉडल, आकार इत्यादि पर निर्भर करती है। आने वाली लागत का अच्छे से एवं बारीकी से विश्लेषण कर लेना अति आवश्यक है क्योंकि उसके बाद ही उद्यमी इस बात का निर्णय ले पाने में सफल हो पायेगा की इस समय Travel Agency खोलना उसकी आर्थिक स्थिति के आधार पर उचित है या फिर नहीं।       

3. फ्रैंचाइज़ी या स्वयं की एजेंसी

उद्यमी के पास स्वयं का ट्रेवल एजेंसी का व्यापार घर से एवं बाहर ऑफिस किराये पर लेकर दोनों तरीके के विकल्प मौजूद तो है ही। लेकिन इसके अलावा यदि उद्यमी चाहता है की उसे किसी प्रसिद्ध Travel Agency द्वारा वर्षों की अथक मेहनत के बादबनाई गई उसकी शाख का फायदा मिले। अर्थात ग्राहकों की आधी शंकाएं प्रसिद्द ट्रेवल एजेंसी के नाम सुनते ही हल हो जाएँ, तो वह किसी प्रसिद्ध ट्रेवल एजेंसी की फ्रैंचाइज़ी के लिए भी आवेदन कर सकता है।

ध्यान रहे फ्रैंचाइज़ी लेने के कुछ फायदे होते हैं तो कुछ नुकसान भी होते हैं फ्रैंचाइज़ी लेने का जो सबसे बड़ा फायदा होता है वह यह होता है की उद्यमी किसी प्रसिद्ध कंपनी द्वारा बनाई गई उसकी शाख का फायदा ले सकता है। अर्थात वह किसी प्रसिद्ध कंपनी के ब्रांड नाम के तहत अपनी सर्विस एवं उत्पाद लोगों को बेच सकता है ।

चूँकि वह कंपनी प्रसिद्ध होती है और लोग उसे पहले से जानते हैं इसलिए उद्यमी को बहुत आक्रामक मार्केटिंग करने की भी आवश्यकता नहीं होती है। और प्रमुख नुकसान यह है की उद्यमी को फ्रेंचाइज़र के साथ प्रॉफिट का हिस्सा शेयर करना होता है। फ्रेंचाइज़र फ्रैंचाइज़ी को उत्पाद या सर्विस का प्रशिक्षण इत्यादि भी प्रदान करते हैं। इसलिए उद्यमी चाहे तो Travel Agency की फ्रैंचाइज़ी लेने के बारे में भी विचार कर सकता है ।       

4. ट्रेवल एजेंसी की जिम्मेदारी जानना (Know duties of Travel Agency)

जैसा की हम ट्रेवल एजेंसी की परिभाषा के दौरान भी इसके दायित्वों के बारे में संक्षेप में बात कर चुके हैं और सच्चाई भी यही है की Travel Agency भले ही कहीं से भी शुरू हो रही हो। लेकिन उद्यमी को इसमें  सफल होने के लिए अपने दायित्वों के बारे में अच्छी तरह से पता होना चाहिए। उद्यमी को सिर्फ हवाई यात्रा का ही नहीं अपितु जल, थल सभी प्रकार की यात्रा का अच्छी तरह से ज्ञान होना नितांत आवश्यक है।

उद्यमी को न सिर्फ अपने ग्राहकों को विभिन्न टिकट जैसे क्रूज, हवाई, रेल, बस, होटल बुकिंग करनी होती है बल्कि पासपोर्ट वीजा इत्यादि दिलाने में भी ग्राहकों की सहायता करनी होती है। इसलिए उद्यमी को इन सब प्रक्रियाओं के बारे में अच्छी तरह से जानकारी होना नितांत आवश्यक है। इतना ही नहीं उद्यमी को अपने ग्राहकों की ट्रेवल सम्बन्धी हर आवश्यकता जैसे एअरपोर्ट से होटल तक का परिवहन, ट्रेवल बीमा, इवेंट प्लानिंग, कांफ्रेंस, बिजनेस मीटिंग इत्यादि सभी गतिविधियों का उचित प्रबंध करने की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।    

5. टारगेट ग्राहकों को जानें

किसी भी बिजनेस की सफलता के लिए अपने टारगेट ग्राहकों अर्थात टारगेट मार्किट को पहचानना बेहद जरुरी है। क्योंकि जब तक उद्यमी को पता नहीं होगा की किस प्रकार के लोग उसके उत्पाद या सेवा को खरीदने वाले हैं और उसके द्वारा बेचे जाने वाली सर्विस या उत्पाद किस प्रकार के लोगों की मदद करने में सक्षम है।

तब तक वह उन्हें अपनी सर्विस या उत्पाद के प्रति आकर्षित करने के मार्ग ही नहीं तलाश पायेगा। जहाँ तक  Travel Agency की बात है इसमें उद्यमी विभिन्न श्रेणी के लोगों को टारगेट कर सकता है या फिर किसी एक श्रेणी के लोगों को ही अपनी सर्विस प्रदान करके उसमें विशिष्टता हासिल कर सकता है। इन श्रेणियों में पढाई के लिए विदेश जाने वाले छात्र, अपने व्यवसाय या नौकरी के दायित्वों को पूरा करने के लिए विदेश जाने वाले लोग, छुट्टियों में घुमने के लिए विदेश जाने वाले लोग इत्यादि शामिल हैं।

वैसे देखा जाय तो एक ट्रेवल एजेंसी को कॉर्पोरेट इकाइयों से भी बड़े पैमाने पर काम मिल सकता है जहाँ बड़ी कम्पनियों में उनके खुद के कर्मचारियों अधिकारियों की यात्रा का प्रबंध करने, उनके लिए होटल, हवाई जहाज इत्यादि टिकटें बुक करने के लिए एक अलग सा विभाग नियुक्त होता है। वहीँ छोटी कम्पनियां इस काम को बाहरी Travel Agency द्वारा ही कराती हैं। इसलिए उद्यमी इन्हें टारगेट करके भी अपनी सर्विस, प्रोडक्ट की तरफ आकर्षित कर सकता है।           

6. प्रभावी बिजनेस प्लान बनाइये

देखिये यदि उद्यमी ने स्वयं की Travel Agency शुरू की है तो इसके शुरू करने के पीछे कुछ न कुछ कारण अवश्य होंगे । वैसे देखा जाय तो किसी भी उद्यमी का एक बिजनेस को शुरू करने के पीछे मुख्य कारण लाभ प्राप्त करना, यानिकी अपने आपको आर्थिक तौर पर मजबूत बनाना होता है। ताकि वह इस दुनिया में उपलब्ध सभी प्रकार के सांसारिक सुखों का उपभोग कर सके।

इसलिए बिना बिजनेस प्लान के कोई भी बिजनेस उस भटकते हुए पथिक की तरह होता है जिसे खुद पता नहीं होता है की उसे जाना कहाँ है, जिस कारण उसकी यात्रा हमेशा ही अधूरी रहती है। चूँकि बिजनेस प्लान में बिजनेस से सम्बंधित सभी बातों का बारीकी से उल्लेखन होता है और उसमें व्यापार के लक्ष्य ही नहीं अपितु अनुमानित लागत, कमाई के स्रोत, एवं अनुमानित कमाई इत्यादि सभी बाते उल्लेखित होती हैं। इसलिए इसे बिजनेस का रोडमैप कहा जाय तो इसमें कोई अतिश्योक्ति नहीं होगी।     

7. बिजनेस को रजिस्टर करें (Register your Travel Agency)

उद्यमी भारत में अपनी Travel Agency को कम्पनीज अधिनियम के तहत विभिन्न बिजनेस एंटिटी में से किसी एक के तहत आसानी से रजिस्टर कर सकता है। शुरूआती दौर में उद्यमी चाहे तो लिमिटेड लायबिलिटी कंपनी या one पर्सन कंपनी के तौर पर अपने व्यापार को रजिस्टर कर सकता है। आम तौर पर देखा गया है की भारत में ट्रेवल एजेंसी का बिजनेस करने वाले उद्यमी अपने व्यापार को प्राइवेट लिमिटेड कंपनी के तौर पर रजिस्टर कराते हैं। कंपनी इनकारपोरेशन के अलावा उद्यमी को टैक्स रजिस्ट्रेशन, बिजनेस के नाम से पैन कार्ड, चालू बैंक खाता इत्यादि की भी आवश्यकता होती है।    

8. पंजीकृत IATA Agent बनें

वैसे देखा जाय तो जब एक बार उद्यमी द्वारा अपने Travel Agency Business को वैधानिक स्वरूप प्रदान कर दिया जाता है। तो उसके बाद टूर या टूरिज्म मंत्रालय में अपने बिजनेस को अलग से रजिस्टर या पंजीकृत कराने की अनिवार्यता तो नहीं होती है। लेकिन जिस ट्रेवल एजेंसी को भारत सरकार के समबन्धित विभाग द्वारा मान्यता प्रदान की जाती है उस एजेंसी की शाख ग्राहकों एवं निवेशकों, शेयर होल्डरों इत्यादि के बीच बढ़ जाती है।

क्योंकि वे अच्छी तरह जानते हैं की सम्बंधित विभाग उस एजेंसी की तभी अपनी मान्यता या स्वीकृति प्रदान करेगा, जब वह एजेंसी सरकार द्वारा निर्धारित अनेकों मानकों एवं मापदंडों को पूरा करेगी। इसलिए उद्यमी चाहे तो अपने बिजनेस को टूर एवं टूरिज्म से सम्बंधित मंत्रालय या विभाग में भी रजिस्टर करा सकता है। इसके अलावा उद्यमी The International Air Transport Association की सदस्यता ग्रहण करने के लिए भी अप्लाई कर सकता है। इससे उद्यमी के बिजनेस को वैश्विक स्तर पर पहचान मिलने की उम्मीद की जा सकती है।        

9. विज्ञापन करके अपनी सर्विस बेचें

हालांकि इसमें कोई दो राय नहीं की सिर्फ आकर्षक ऑफिस बना लेना और रजिस्टर करा देना ही Travel Agency को सफलतापूर्वक संचालित करने के लिए पर्याप्त नहीं है। यदि उद्यमी चाहता है की उसके पास अधिक से अधिक ग्राहक उसकी सेवाओं को ग्रहण करने के लिए आयें, तो इसके लिए उद्यमी को अपने टारगेट ग्राहकों तक मार्केटिंग के अनेकों तरीकों को अपनाकर पहुँच बनानी होगी।

वर्तमान में देश एवं विदेश की एक बहुत बड़ी आबादी इन्टरनेट के माध्यम से ही अपने ट्रेवल प्लान करती है। इसलिए उद्यमी को अपने बिजनेस की ऑनलाइन उपस्थिति बनाना एवं उसमें नियमित तौर पर कंटेंट पब्लिश करने की आवश्यकता हो सकती है। इसके अलावा उद्यमी सोशल मीडिया, यूट्यूब चैनल में विडियो पब्लिश करके भी ग्राहकों तक पहुँच बना सकता है। गूगल ऐड के माध्यम से अपने टारगेट ग्राहकों तक पहुँचना या ऐसे लोगों तक पहुँचना जो इस बारे में इन्टरनेट पर सर्च कर रहे हों एक बेहतरीन तरीका हो सकता है।

हाल ही में उत्तराखंड के प्रसिद्ध टूरिस्ट डेस्टिनेशन जिम कॉर्बेट नेशनल पार्क में शुरू हुई ट्रेवल एजेंसी Jai Bhumia Travels के मुताबिक गूगल एड चलाते समय यूजर को गूगल की पालिसी का विशेष ध्यान रखना होता है। अन्यथा आपकी एक गलती आपके गूगल एड अकाउंट को परमानेंट ससपेंड करा सकती है।

अपनी वेबसाइट में कॉपीराइट कंटेंट का इस्तेमाल न करें यहाँ तक की इन्टरनेट से कॉपी पेस्ट करके कोई भी टेक्स्ट कंटेंट भी न डालें। इसके अलावा एड कैंपेन बनाते समय इस बात को सुनिश्चित करें की वह गूगल एड्स की पालिसी को ब्रेक न कर रहा हो । तभी आप सही मायने में अपने Travel agency Business को एक नए मुकाम तक ले जाने में कामयाब हो पाएंगे।

A highly workforce-centric industry, tours and travel business require a lot of hard work as well as a passion for exploring and offering more. When the customers are in a relaxed state of mind, their expectations from the service provider are maximum.

A tour and travel business involves coordinating between local vendors and tour guides, booking for travel through land, water, or air, documentation processing as well as identifying and retaining a pleasant tour guide who will be the face of the company.

To start a tour and travel business in India , the business plan should have the following important components:

1- Target group of customers

The tours and travel business can cater to a niche group of customers like school and college students for educational tours or can have its tours business spread across to cater to the family for general vacation or religious tours. Tours and travel business plan starts with defining the target segment. After this is defined, a core team having interest and expertise in this travel business needs to be put together.

2- Area to be covered

Based on the core team's expertise and the defined target audience, the tour and travel business plan can proceed to the next step of defining their geographical area of operation.

3- Allied service providers required

All tour and travel business operators can't provide end-to-end service. They may be specialists in one part of the operations or may specialise in several components of the business spectrum. Accordingly, they might have to outsource allied services.

4- Scale of operation

This component is flexible depending upon the vision and mission of the tours and travel business. If the owner wants to look at it as a small-scale business idea, then he/she can start from a small geographical area initially and expand later on. On the other hand, if a well-established business is looking for new business ideas or unique business ideas to expand their conglomerate, then this tours and travel business offers both variety and different scales of operation.

Having decided on the above, the steps involved in starting a Tour And Travels Business In India is-

Prerequisites

Analyse the potential of your chosen area of operation in terms of profit-making opportunities, market growth potential, etc. The required business-related registrations must be put in place. One needs to explore the various schemes brought out by the government of India to facilitate the growth of small-scale businesses.

Have your marketing communication in place well ahead of the planned dates of the tour. Make a compelling offer for your target customers to join the tour. It could be the dynamic and energetic TV personality who is the host, the number of places that you offer to show, the star-studded hotels that you have in the itinerary. This USP of yours must be something that your target audience is hearing for the first time. This will allow you to get the first group of customers.

Finances/Capitals

Most of the tours and travels operate on the inflow of capital from customers, which is taken as advance. Most of the ancillary service providers also allow the tours and travel business operators to avail services on credit. Networking and relationship management with vendors go a long way in the tours and travels business to be successful. The initial capital investment required can be acquired as a loan from Government and Non-Government sources after due diligence.

Operational

Tours and travel offer excellent services to the first few groups and diligently follow up for good customer feedback. Use referral methods and offer repeat customers a discount or loyalty programs to generate your customer base. Keep exploring new add ons that you can offer to the tours that you are running, as well as explore options for new itineraries and tours that you can conceive.

Innovation and dynamism are the keywords to succeed in the tours and travel business. Hence unique business ideas survive and grow in this sector. As we talk of Innovation and dynamism, the role of social media in boosting your tours and travels business can never be undermined. Potential tourists extensively search on social media platforms before deciding on a particular tour operator. Hence monitoring your active and passive presence on the web is very important.

Over the last two decades, more and more people have started traveling for a specific purpose as well as the number of tours they undertake has increased. Hence tour and travel business is one of the best small-scale business ideas if you want to start small and test the waters. Another reason why this is one of the best business ideas is the number of fields available under the new business ideas in this category. This sector also offers unique business ideas since the customised offerings in a tour and travel business plan may be under the following segments -

1- Adventure tourism

Millennials are the main target customers driving this sector, but it can turn into a goldmine if the tour and travel operator approaches the business with creativity by offering unique adventure sports as well activities to the youngsters.

2- Religious tourism

India is a religious country and home to a lot of religious rituals and beliefs. Monumental pieces of worship along with the Indian belief in divine intervention have fuelled the growth in religious tourism. The tour and travel business specialising in these fields operates following local festivals like the Char Dham Yatra, Khumb Mela, etc.

3- Wellness tourism

Modern-day lifestyle calls for intermittent resting of body and mind, and this is where the unique business idea of wellness tourism fits in. From detox camps to rejuvenating centers, a whole array of offerings defines this landscape.

4- Rural tourism

This sector caters to travellers who want to be close to nature and experience the beauty of rural hinterlands. Rural tourism has created a niche in the tour and travel business. The local cuisine, farm and vineyard visits, and trying your hands on local crafts like pottery are some of the offerings from the stable of a rural tour and travel operator.

5- Heritage tourism

India is a land of abundance when it comes to historical monuments and buildings. Indian tourists, as well as foreign tourists, are keen to explore the same, and the tours and travel business catering to this need is seeing a boom, with UNESCO recognising many sites in India as World Heritage Sites.

There is a growing demand in the tours and travels business. People travel for work and pleasure. They also travel locally as well as globally. Hence a tours and travel operator can identify the requirements of his target audience and can use effective marketing communication through social media to grow his business.

Unfortunately, in the present COVID-19 scenario, traveling is not such a good idea. But, hopefully, by this time next year, things will have gotten back to normal. Nowadays, traveling is a part of everyone’s lifestyle as many people choose to visit a beach during the summer or even the hill stations. Many people do this to escape the suffocating city air. You might have realized the importance of travel and how the travel business impacts all of this. We can easily say that the travel business sector is one of the most demanding industries this time.

You might be thinking about how to start a travel business and how even to make it accessible.

The success of a travel business startup mostly depends on the location. For example, if you set up a travel business in a busy city where a lot of people work for more than seven hours, then it is one of the best places as people tend to get a vacation from time to time.

Now, let’s see the tip you need to follow to start a successful travel business startup.

Tips to start a travel business:

Step 1: prepare a solid plan for your travel business.

You might have heard the term ‘Business plans’ when you visit MNCs and other such huge companies.

A business plan is one of the crucial steps to start a travel business. If you do not wish to plan, you can always hire others to do so. Now, let’s see what type of business plan you require.

Types of business plans:

• The kind of project you need to start a travel business depends on the kind of funding you have or are looking for. If you don’t have much money, to begin with, you can always search for an investor, or even take loans from banks.
• If you have your savings, it is much safer than you don’t need to answer to the investors. Now, all you need to do is construct a solid and lean business plan and strategy to start your travel business.
• If you plan to pitch your business idea to an investor, you need to have a proper presentation strategy.
• Be patient and analyze the travel business market for a while before taking action.

Step 2: Advertise your travel business along with dealing with legal formalities.

After analyzing the market and getting to know the market works, it’s the perfect time to build your brand image. It is imperative to have a solid branding that attracts the customers to visit your sites and take a look. This depends on the type of advertisements you post.

• Make a catchy headline to attract all the customers to your pages and websites.
• Social Media Marketing is one of the most advantageous ways to attract customers.
• Offer and mention the travel destinations and other features of the tour travel business.

Travel business requires a set of licenses and registrations before starting its services. These registrations are given below.

• Registering a trademark
• Naming your business
• Filing a DBA
• Applying for a federal tax ID number, also known as your Employer Identification number
• Service Tax Registration

Step 3: Manage your funds effectively .

Starting a travel business needs you to manage funds and the cost of all the equipment and other expenses. Here are some of the tips you need to follow.

• Start with buying the less expensive equipment.
• Rent or buy your office according to the needs at that time and later increase the space according to the requirements then.
• Try to manage all the investment plans for marketing materials and even advertising. These marketing tools may include social media marketing, hosting a website, and many more. The offline part may consist of all the brochures, business cards, posters, and even hoardings.

Step 4: Pick an advantageous location and start hiring employees.

Deciding the location is vital in starting a travel business. The right place equals a lot of customers. Hence, picking an excellent site is crucial. After this is done, you can start hiring the employees. Your travel business team can include various employees like:

• Retail Buyer
• Travel Agent
• Sales Representative
• International Tour Guide
• Flight Attendant
• Event Coordinator
• Travel Nurse

Talking about your travel business location, it is always important to consider the competition in that location. After this, you can slowly start expanding your area. You have to pick a place that fulfills all your office demands and should even have the expected space demands. After the travel business startup kicks off, you can always choose or move to a much bigger office.

Step 5: Market and start your travel business service .

Marketing consists of four essential characteristics, that is, price, place, product, and promotion. If you are stable on these four characteristics, then surely your company will be successful.

Your marketing points should have all the points given below:

• Know your business
• Determine the target market
• Set a budget
• Analyze competitors
• Outline strategies
• Get to work

When all of these points are fulfilled, then you are ready to launch the business.

What is a Travel Agency Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your travel agency as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategy for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan for a Travel Agency

If you’re looking to start a travel agency or grow your existing travel agency you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your travel agency in order to improve your chances of success. Your travel agency business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Source of Funding for Travel Agencies

With regards to funding, the main sources of funding for a travel agency are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans and angel investors. With regards to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to confirm that your financials are reasonable. But they will want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business.

The second most common form of funding for a travel agency is angel investors. Angel investors are wealthy individuals who will write you a check. They will either take equity in return for their funding, or, like a bank, they will give you a loan.

Finish Your Business Plan Today!

Your travel agency business plan should include 10 sections as follows:

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your Executive Summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the type of travel agency business you are operating and the status; for example, are you a startup, do you have a travel agency that you would like to grow, or are you operating a chain of travel agencies.

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan. For example, give a brief overview of the travel agency industry. Discuss the type of travel agency you are operating. Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. Provide a snapshot of your marketing plan. Identify the key members of your team. And offer an overview of your financial plan.

Company Analysis

In your company analysis, you will detail the type of travel agency you are operating.

For example, you might operate one of the following types:

• Commercial Travel Agencies : this type of travel agency caters to business travelers. These agencies specialize in tracking down deals for business travelers to help companies manage travel costs.
• Online Travel Agencies : this type of travel agency exists only in cyberspace. They provide clients with the convenience of online booking and discounts that are available only to professional travel agencies.
• Niche Travel Agencies : this type of travel agency provides clients with specialized knowledge of a region.
• Membership Associations : Memberships associations give travelers access to the organization’s travel planning services for the cost of an annual membership rather than charging per transaction. This type of agency offers the most benefit to frequent travelers.

In addition to explaining the type of travel agency you operate, the Company Analysis section of your business plan needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to question such as:

• When and why did you start the business?
• What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include sales goals you’ve reached, new location openings, etc.
• Your legal structure. Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry analysis, you need to provide an overview of the travel agency business.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the travel agency industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your strategy particularly if your research identifies market trends. For example, if there was a trend towards glamping, it would be helpful to ensure your plan calls for plenty of luxury camping packages.

The third reason for market research is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your travel agency business plan:

• How big is the travel agency business (in dollars)?
• Is the market declining or increasing?
• Who are the key competitors in the market?
• Who are the key suppliers in the market?
• What trends are affecting the industry?
• What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
• What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential market for your travel agency. You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your travel agency business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: sports enthusiasts, soccer moms, baby boomers, businesses, etc.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of travel agency you operate. Clearly baby boomers would want a different atmosphere, pricing and product options, and would respond to different marketing promotions than businesses.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, include a discussion of the ages, genders, locations and income levels of the customers you seek to serve. Because most travel agencies primarily serve customers living in their same city or town, such demographic information is easy to find on government websites.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can understand and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other travel agencies.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t direct competitors. This includes customers making travel arrangements themselves at home. You need to mention such competition to show you understand that not everyone who travels uses travel agency services.

With regards to direct competition, you want to detail the other travel agencies with which you compete. Most likely, your direct competitors will be travel agencies located very close to your location.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their businesses and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as:

• What types of customers do they serve?
• What products do they offer?
• What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
• What are they good at?
• What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

• Will you provide better travel packages?
• Will you provide products or services that your competitors don’t offer?
• Will you make it easier or faster for customers to book your offerings?
• Will you provide better customer service?
• Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a travel agency business plan, your marketing plan should include the following:

Product : in the product section you should reiterate the type of travel agency that you documented in your Company Analysis. Then, detail the specific products you will be offering. For example, in addition to regular accommodation and transportation booking, will you offer items such as tour packages and excursions?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your marketing plan, you are presenting the packages you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the location of your travel agency. Document your location and mention how the location will impact your success. For example, is your travel agency located next to a heavily populated office building, or highly trafficked retail area, etc. Discuss how your location might provide a steady stream of customers.

Promotions : the final part of your travel agency marketing plan is the promotions section. Here you will document how you will drive customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

• Making your travel agency’s storefront extra appealing to attract passing customers
• Distributing travel brochures outside the travel agency
• Advertising in local papers and magazines
• Reaching out to local bloggers and websites
• Social media advertising
• Local radio advertising
• Banner ads at local venues

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your travel agency such as serving customers, procuring supplies, keeping the office clean, etc.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to serve your 1,000th customer, or when you hope to reach $X in sales. It could also be when you expect to hire your Xth employee or launch a new location.

Management Team

To demonstrate your travel agency’s ability to succeed as a business, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally you and/or your team members have direct experience in the travel agency business. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act like mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in travel agencies and/or successfully running retail and small businesses.

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements.

Income Statement : an income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenues and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you serve 50 customers per week or 100? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets : While balance sheets include much information, to simplify them to the key items you need to know about, balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. For instance, if you spend $100,000 on building out your travel agency, that will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a bank writes you a check for $100.000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement : Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and make sure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

In developing your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a travel agency:

• Location build-out including design fees, construction, etc.
• Cost of equipment like computers, website/platform, and software
• Cost of marketing materials and maintaining an adequate amount of supplies
• Payroll or salaries paid to staff
• Business insurance
• Taxes and permits
• Legal expenses

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your store design blueprint or location lease.

Travel Agency Business Plan Summary

Putting together a business plan for your travel agency is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will really understand the travel agency business, your competition and your customers. You will have developed a marketing plan and will really understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful travel agency.

Travel Tour Agency Business Plan

Start your own travel tour agency business plan

Sephats Tours

Executive summary executive summary is a brief introduction to your business plan. it describes your business, the problem that it solves, your target market, and financial highlights.">, opportunity.

The tourism industry has undergone rapid growth of unsurpassed nature over the last several decades. This has mainly been due to the advent of a ‘borderless’ world and increased information dissemination about the majestic sceneries throughout the world, with the southern African region being no exception.

Sephats Tours intends to provide individual and group travel to leisure clients. Services and products provided by Sephats will initially include pre-arranged tours, custom packages according to clients specifications, travel consultation, and as time progresses making reservations for lodging amongst other related services. Sephats Tours seeks to differentiate itself as the premier adventure travel company in the greater Gaborone (Botswana) area.

We will be focusing on those foreign tourists seeking leisure travel and excursions whilst on vacation in Botswana, with the intention of letting them see and appreciate the numerous attractions in our country. Though we realize that the majority of our tourists come from South Africa we shall be mainly targeting those from Europe and the Americas who often do not have transport or adequate knowledge about the country, unlike their South African counterparts who often do. Hence we shall be mainly targeting those who are not that mobile but wanting to see as many sites as possible. These people often do not want to waste their money on hiring vehicles to move about by themselves, but instead want to be escorted around places of interest by a reliable source. Hence the need to professionally market ourselves and the services we provide, offering a service of uncompromised nature.

Competition

We have identified competing companies, some firmly established, that fill the same needs as Sephats Tours. We intend to market ourselves in such a way that with time competitor customers will choose our service over competitors’ on the basis of our higher quality and informative excursions. 

Sephats Tours is poised to take advantage of this growth and moderate competition in the city travel portion of the industry, with a dedicated and experienced staff, excellent networking, and effective management and marketing. Sephats Tours intends to provide travel and adventure packages to tourists primarily in the Southern region, but also the whole of Botswana. Services and products provided by Sephats will initially include pre-arranged tours, custom packages according to clients specifications, travel consultation, and as time progresses making reservations for lodging amongst other related services. Sephats Tours seeks to differentiate itself as the premier adventure mobile operator in the greater Gaborone area.

Expectations

We foresee a slow initial growth in sales, as we strive to ensure we are known on the market, though operating expenses will be relatively high, and a bump in our sales and revenue generation as we spread our services during expansion.

Collection days are very important. We do not want to let our average collection days get above the client’s actual subscription period under any circumstances. This could cause a serious problem with cash flow, because our working capital situation is chronically tight. However, we recognize that we cannot control this factor easily, because of the relationship we wish to create with our clients.

Financial Highlights by Year

Financing needed.

We wil have 2 investors that will contribute: 

investor 1 – P100,000

investor 2 – P102.000

This will cover all our necessary expenses until we are able to start making a net profit 

Problem & Solution

Problem worth solving.

The tourism industry has undergone rapid growth of unsurpassed nature over the last several decades. This has mainly been due to the advent of a ‘borderless’ world and increased information dissemination about the majestic sceneries throughout the world, with the southern African region being no exception. Customers want to travel, to see the world. They are in need of a company where they can enjoy the sites and the luxuries without having to pay a huge price. 

Our Solution

Sephats Tours intends to provide individual and group travel to leisure clients. Services and products provided by Sephats will initially include pre-arranged tours, custom packages according to clients specifications, travel consultation, and as time progresses making reservations for lodging amongst other related services. Sephats Tours seeks to differentiate itself as the premier adventure travel company in the greater Gaborone area. Customers will think we are well worth the expense 

As it grows it will take on people and expand into related markets and services. It will also look for additional leverage by establishing relationships and representations with appropriate strategic allies.

Target Market

Market size & segments.

We will be focusing on those foreign tourists seeking leisure travel and excursions whilst on vacation in Botswana, with the intention of letting them see and appreciate the numerous attractions in our country. Though we realize that the majority of our tourists come from South Africa we shall be mainly targeting those from Europe and the Americas who often do not have transport or adequate knowledge about the country, unlike their South African counterparts who often do. Hence we shall be mainly targeting those who are not that mobile but wanting to see as many sites as possible. These people often do not want to waste their money on hiring vehicles to move about by themselves, but instead want to be escorted around places of interest by a reliable source. Hence the need to professionally market ourselves and the services we provide, offering a service of uncompromised nature. />Our marketing strategy will be based mainly on making the right service(s) available to the right target customer. We will ensure that our services’ prices take into consideration organizations’ and peoples’ budgets, and that these people know that we exist, appreciate the value of our services, and how to contact us. The marketing will convey the sense of quality in every picture, every promotion, and every publication. Our intension will be to target those individuals and groups looking for leisure activities and places to visit. We realize the need to focus our marketing message and our service offerings. We need to develop our message, communicate it, and make good on it. The decision to establish strategic alliances with several hotels, lodges and travel agencies is aimed at tapping our target market effectively and efficiently.

Current Alternatives

We have identified competing companies, some firmly established, that fill the same needs as Sephats Tours. We intend to market ourselves in such a way that with time competitor customers will choose our service over competitors’ on the basis of our higher quality and informative excursions. A more thorough outline of our main competitors including their strengths and weaknesses follows:

• XXX:  Located on the first floor of the G Hotel, Gear Adventures specializes in tailor-made safaris throughout Botswana and her neighboring countries. Gear Adventures offers Mobile Wilderness Safaris, Weekend Adventures, One-day explorations and safari operators. Of particular concern to us are the day tours around Gaborone that it offers to G Hotel guests. Research indicated that Gear Adventures is the only operator that offers day trips in and around Gaborone. Several of its services include: [details omitted].
• YYY:  Arguably one of the most reputable companies in our intended line of business. It has a fleet of nineteen buses comprising two semi-luxury B7 Volvo train-buses, six semi-luxury B7 Volvo, five M/Benz, four Nissan and two DAF buses. All the Volvo buses have radio facilities, and one of the train-buses has toilet facilities. With close to twenty years of experience Mr. K supported by his wife, Mrs. K, are achieving most of what they envisioned when they started their business-to provide a nation-wide road transport service renowned for its efficiency and reliability. The recent launch of a new imported South American double-decker luxury bus serves as testimony of their continued dedication towards providing a good service to their clients.

• ZZZ:  Similar to YYY, Z is well respected in the market with a large fleet of buses. As well as providing daily transport to Selebi Phikwe and several towns it also provides local and international trips by hire. However they lack the marketing edge and foreign tourist focus we intend to have.

Upon closer analysis of the above competitors it may be observed that the majority of these are offering safari excursions, and this represents an opportunity to be realized by us. According to the Central Statistics Office there are approximately 81 travel agents, tour operators and safari operators in Botswana at present, the majority of which have a South African background either in directorship or actual origin.

Our Advantages

Our advantages are best described as our strengths: 

• Diversified client base:  This will reduce our dependency on one particular market.
• Combination of skills in employees:  The directors intend to engage well-qualified and experienced employees to jointly develop business strategy and long-term plans, so as to attain company objectives.
• Extensive advertising and marketing:  The company will undertake extensive advertising and marketing, promoting both its name as well as service/product awareness. Hence an aggressive and focused marketing campaign with clear goals and strategies shall be one of our mainstays.

Keys to Success

The keys to Sephats Tours success will undoubtedly be effective market segmentation through identification of several niche markets and implementation strategies. Along these lines the company intends to implement advertising, personal selling and direct marketing strategies to the target markets. Our personal selling marketing strategies will rotate around keeping in touch with hotels and travel agencies for major customers, and advertising for more individual customers. Hence our key success factors will include the following:

• Excellence in fulfilling the promise:  We intend to offer completely enjoyable, comfortable and informative travel excursions that will ensure that travelers are thoroughly satisfied and appreciative at the end of their trip.
• Timely response to customers’ requests:  We cannot afford to delay our clients for whatever reason, as this will have a negative bearing on our image and reputation, including future business. Hence we need to be continually communicating with the client, including hotels and lodges so as to ensure that we are constantly available to the client meeting their expectations.
• Solid and fruitful strategic alliances:  Considering the nature of our services and our relative infancy on the market, we realize the importance of establishing and maintaining fruitful strategic alliances with various stakeholders, including hotels, lodges, and travel agencies, amongst others, so as be assured of a constant flow of customers, fulfilling their needs at every opportunity.
• Marketing know-how:  As a relatively new company on the market there will be a need to aggressively market our business and the services we provide so as to be continuously at the top of our prospective clients minds. This will also act as a temporary deterrent for companies contemplating entering our market. Advertising shall be undertaken on a regular basis.

Marketing & Sales

Marketing plan.

One core element of our strategy will be that of differentiation from our competitors. In terms of marketing we intend to ensure that our name and services are marketed on an extensive basis so that customers are aware of our existence. We will have a Social Media Strategy. We will be in Twitter, on Facebook, and on LinkedIn. We will run promotions and sales and have our customers tell us their favorite vacations, and experiences and they will talk to each other. In price, we intend to offer reasonable and competitive prices in comparison to competition and we need to be able to sustain that. Our service marketing will strive to ensure that we establish long relationships with clients.

For the short term at least, the selling process will depend on personal selling/networking and advertising to lure and inform potential customers about the services we offer and the benefits of utilizing our services. Our marketing does not intend to affect the perception of need as much as knowledge and awareness of the service category.

Locations & Facilities

At present the company offices are located at Plot Number 28338, Block 3, Belabela road opposite Gaborone Television Station, near Hill Crest Primary School. However, as time progresses the intention is to move into more accessible and attractive offices in a prime area. This regardless of the fact that our type of business is not too dependent on office location and size.

Sephats Tours will strive to ensure that it contains the latest, or extremely recent personal computer including relevant software so as to ensure that the company is continuously at the forefront in our market arena. The one certainty in our industry is that technology will continue to evolve and develop, changing what we market as well as how we market it. Our aim will be to be aware of the implications of this new technology and utilizing it in our existing framework where possible. However it should be noted that as we are new on the market it will take some time before we have in place our own website and other multimedia presentations. With time we also intend to have the latest and most efficient software in place to enable smooth operations.

Milestones & Metrics

Key metrics.

Our Key metrics are:

• Tours sold (units, growth from month to month and year to year)
• Tourists per tour (average, and changes over time)
• Revenue per tour
• Revenue per tourist
• Total tourist prospects (estimates)
• Facebook likes
• Twitter follows

Ownership & Structure

Sephats Tours is a Private Limited company incorporated at the Registrar of Companies through the foresight and vision of Mr. X and Mrs. Y. It is a 100% wholly owned Botswana firm.

Management Team

The founders of Sephats Tours are passionate about the activities it will promote and offer on the market. Management style will reflect the participation of the directors/shareholders. The company intends to respect its community and treat all employees well. We will develop and nurture the company as community. However we realize that we are not fully conversant in tourism and as such intend to engage experienced staff as well as undergo a training course from a reputable institution.

The Managing Director’s experience in public commercial transportation and government will assist in the establishment of good networks. He also has attended a course in Auto Mechanics at X Centre that will assist in servicing the vehicles. However acknowledging the importance of continuous training and improvement the Managing Director intends to undergo a course in Travel and Tourism so as to be fully conversant in the field, as well as obtain knowledge of the latest developments in the industry.
