1. Start a self-employed travel agency
If you are an outsider, it is not recommended to start one first. The travel agency industry requires a certain amount of professional contacts. Generally, most people who run travel agencies have been in this circle for many years.
Not only experience in action, but also interpersonal relationships. For example, if you want to do mass shipping, you need to get a very low land price to make a profit.
For example, if you want to take a group to this city, you will need more connections, such as hotels, cars, tour guides, attractions, meals, etc. All of that is not to say go there, but you have to know the price. Otherwise, if no one cooperates with you or you lose money, you should think twice about starting a business in this industry. Of course, if you have money, you can be a pure investor and then find someone who knows how to run the business.

7. Travel agency business plan
Generally speaking, opening a shop in a tourist attraction requires the following:
Business license, health license and employee health certificate. If you are a laid-off employee, you can enjoy preferential policies for laid-off workers to start their own businesses, such as tax exemptions and exemptions, small loans, etc. In addition, you have to request a unified invoice from the tax authorities. Unless you are granted a uniform invoice exemption, you must apply.
Since a restaurant belongs to the food service industry, it must obtain approval from the health department before opening a store. Employees must have a Health Certificate issued by the health department.
In addition to applying for a business license, if you want the signboard of your store to be used exclusively by you and not be abused by others, you must also apply for a registered service mark with the Industry and Commerce Bureau. In addition to the name text or design, the signboard name hanging at the entrance of the store can also have its own special design. Trademark registration fees can be inquired from the relevant local authorities. Vacuum packaging materials and machinery can be purchased directly from the relevant manufacturers.
8. College students start a travel agency
Start a business in a tourist destination. It is recommended to do actual research on the destination first, and do not look at those so-called data, which are generally unreliable.
What are the elements of tourism? Food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment.
One, eat. Every tourist must have a meal after arriving at a place. There are two types of meals, one is to go to a restaurant and the other is to eat with dry food.
1. If you are very skilled, you can cook a good dish. If you have money, you can ask people to cook delicious food, but you can't fool people. You can consider opening a restaurant.
2. If you can eat nothing, you can open a tourist supermarket. The risks are also high.
Second, survive. Accommodation in tourist areas is definitely a must. If you have accommodation experience, you can consider folk accommodation, star hotel reception, or farmhouse. The cost of this investment is relatively high.
Three, okay. In tourist areas, tourists who want to relax, look around, and learn about interesting and delicious local places will use temporary vehicles after coming out. Then you can consider car rental, taxi services, or surrounding travel services. Without certain connections or marketing skills, it is not easy to succeed.
Fourth, swimming. Some tourists go to the destination in a group tour, while others go on a self-guided tour. They just book a hotel in the local area and are not very clear about the tour. If you have the strength, you can open a local travel company to help organize short-distance travel for individual travelers and provide travel services.
Fifth, buy. In recent years, the local tourism specialties have not been very good. The logistics is now very developed and the flow is very fast. Online shopping has severely impacted physical stores. Putting aside the quality of the products, there are too many genuine products in physical stores to sell.
Sixth, entertainment. After arriving at the destination, tourists can explore the natural scenery during the day and have nightlife at night. Some people like to drink and have meetings, some like karaoke, and some need foot or body massages when they are tired from sightseeing. Bars, KTV, and spas can all be scams
9. Create a travel agency
To be a travel agency for a university, the most important thing is that you are a college student, or you have strong university resources.
I have seen many travel agencies for college students, some do well and some fail. As a travel agency with many years of experience, here I will explain to you how to set up a college travel agency.
First of all, you are a college student. Because only when you are a college student can you clearly know what contemporary college students need, and you have to use college students as spokespersons. You can first use classmates as endorsements. Secondly, you have strong university resources, such as having a good relationship with school leaders or serving as the president of the student union.
Second, location. The location of the travel agency is very important. It must be in a university town, surrounded by five universities, mainly high-consumption schools. For example, three colleges and universities.
Third, find the correct positioning. What kind of travel agency do college students need? What kind of services can your travel agency provide to college students? Traditional travel agencies will definitely not work, such as focusing on class team building, outdoor travel, etc. This can only be explained clearly after research.
Four. market. After positioning your product, you have to start marketing and promote it through online and offline activities. And do activities from time to time and so on. In addition, you should go to the counselors who lead the college to run more and go on campus tours so that you won't go hungry.
