Excerpt from the Workbook 7 Step Travel Agency Business Plan:

Gone are the days of the brick and mortar travel boutique. Your travel agency business plan will reflect your worldwide influence on the web AND your savvy in a particular field.  Once you "get" that, you are positioned to be part of a very lucrative industry.

KEY CONSIDERATION

There has been an amazing evolution in the travel industry over the past decade. As the internet made airline bookings and hotel bookings so much more user-friendly, the boutique travel agencies that used to be sprinkled throughout town are gone. People simply don't need those boutiques anymore.

But they do need sophisticated travel agents adept at particular niches in the travel arena, and this is a very important distinction. If you want a weekend in Reno, what do you do? You go online and book your flight. If you want a special honeymoon in Tahiti? Well ... that's a different story. You want the recommendation of someone who has truly been there and done that. And that's a whole different world in the travel business.

And that's where you can build a very profitable travel business.

STRONGEST ADVANTAGE IN YOUR TRAVEL AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN

Bankers are well aware of the demise of the small travel agencies, and the bigger ones for that matter.

Bankers are well aware, too, of the incredible power of the internet.  

When you can present a travel agency business plan that takes advantage of the internet's immense power, you've hit a home run. It's not easy, but it can indeed be done. 

STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE

The immediate assumption of your lender will be that a travel agency really hasn't got much of a chance. You will have to convince him/her otherwise. With a strong business plan focused on affiliating yourself with successful companies you will have a much better chance.

OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE WITH YOUR TRAVEL AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN

Know what the banker knows.

Study all the reports that you can get hold of. Thoroughly research your market and your industry. Go in armed with statistics backing up everything that you say.

Demonstrate your successes .

Knowing the travel business is important. But far more important is knowing how to market that business. This is where you will shine above all other candidates.

Present a strong marketing plan.

  • Outline exactly how you will reach your target market.
  • Quantify your target market as best you can.
  • Demonstrate multiple revenue streams in the business.
  • If you have had any prior success in any business, flaunt it.

OTHER PLUSSES IN YOUR TRAVEL AGENCY BUSINESS PLAN

Go as far as you can before you look for funding. For instance, having your website operational, and successful, will go a long way to proving that you know what you are doing.

Take a portable computer with you to demo your site, and show how easy it is for people to find you and your services.

YOUR LIKELY LENDER/INVESTOR

The SBA is probably your best bet.   The SBA is better equipped to provide you with a smaller loan, which is probably what you will need, and possibly even mentoring while you get your business up and running.

GOING ONLINE

My recommendation is a company that has a track record of serving the travel industry well.

There are dozens of ways to describe your new business because there are literally hundreds of thousands of searches every day on the web for services such as

  • Travel agencies
  • Corporate travel agency
  • Business travel agency
  • Travel agency website
  • Worldwide travel agency
  • Sports travel agency
  • Travel agents
  • Tour agency
  • Travel tour agent
  • Online travel agent
  • Online travel
  • Travel company
  • Travel packages
  • Cruise travel
  • Tour operators
  • Adventure travel
  • Vacations
  • Home travel agent
  • Cruise travel agent
  • Luxury travel
  • Tour travel
  • Vacation package
  • Exotic vacations

And lots more.  Your job is to get out there, and make your services available to as many people as possible.

Cindy Pelletier

What do you mean one website on trips to soccer games?  How about 15 websites -- soccer trips, baseball trips, basketball trips, ballet trips, opera trips, jazz trips.  Wow, the list is endless.  What a great idea!

I lost my travel business because of just what you say.  Nobody was coming any more.  I'm starting again, but this time I'm going on the web.  I don't know much about the web, but I can learn.  It's my livelihood at stake, so I guess I will have to learn.

Sandi from California

I live in one of those states that is regulated.  So I can't be a real "travel agent".  But I can provide travel information, and with my affiliate company I can provide all the travel arrangements and reservations that anyone else can.  And I do it in my own time.  At home.  With no boss breathing down my neck.  I feel like I'm on a tropical isle, basking in sunshine.
