Writing a travel business plan? These documents can be complex if you need special software or infrastructure to run the business, but most travel agencies function on a simple business model. If your profit derives from charging people a fee for arranging travel packages and/or taking cash from airlines, hotels, etc. in exchange for placement, then your business plan's inputs will be straightforward. The financial pro forma should offer an assessment of projected sales and expenses over a period of at least three years. (It may need to show five, if you are seeking capital support from an investor.). Other important elements:
• Who do you compete with regionally?
• What strengths do you have?
• What are your staffing requirements?
• How will you market yourself?
• When do you anticipate break-even?
You should describe your different services and packages in detail and give all the information you can about the current state of the market and your unique marketing strategies. The travel business plan should also identify the core customer base and customer profile you will serve. If you need help with these things, call MasterPlans.
