RE: Journey to My Travel & Tours Startup - New Beginnings and Crowdfunding!
That sounds like the only kind of tour I'd ever be willing to undertake. I am an off the beaten trail kinda guy, and just can't mill about with the herd.
Kudos on what I believe is a superb business idea! I hope you can manage the various and overwhelming bits and pieces of your plan, without faltering. If I can be of any assistance, I'd be happy to oblige if I am able.
Edit: a thought: you offer 'at your own pace', which is a great boon to folks like me, prepared to change the itinerary when faced with a particular delight they want to take more time for. This can create cancellation fees for the tour operator, which you will need to ensure you don't have to absorb, or to have sufficient overage to absorb if it arises.
I'd feel it important to have a fee statement for such itinerary changes that might impact your bottom line that your customers would have to sign off on before beginning their travel.
Oh thanks! I see it all coming, I already have the terms and conditions, booking and cancellations and all the fees associated for suddenly cancelling my hard work.
I have dealt with this during my stint in the travel agency in Peru last year, and with people who wanted to be treated with royalty ha!
I might share the bits and pieces here, so you guys can help me draft the pages of my website.
... and half and half is for plebs! If I'm going, Imma need heavy whipping cream for my coffee =p
So, need concierge services?
Hahaha, this is for those who need some rustic, island living, marine life exposure. Ok, I'll look for heavy whipping cream for you. Just no strong wifi lol.
I probably need help in decision-making, problem-solving, dealing with demands, and more on interpersonal skills hahaha. Patience in this type of industry is the key.
Patience and a good poker face
