Here are your 3 steps towards more travel & tourism sales, increased arrivals and reaching your goals with Travel Business Success Consultants.

Step # 1:  Comprehensive Business/Marketing Analysis with Action Plan

Our travel consulting services start off with a comprehensive business/marketing analysis of your business (or future business) followed by a written game plan/outline. You’ll receive a detailed action plan that’s reviewed personally with “Tourism Tim” Warren covering your areas of biggest opportunities, answers to your greatest challenges, as well as our guidance in how to achieve your goals.

In additions to the areas mentioned above, your personalized “action plan” will also include:

• Summary of what you need to focus on – Our deep analysis will uncover your key problems and concerns, create prioritized strategies to solve them and help keep you on track.
• Financial analysis & suggestions – Our analysis is unique and will give you the information you need to control your finances. Let us help you solve cash flow challenges, pricing, costs, under capitalization, as well as prepare your tourism business for expansion, acquisitions and diversification. Learn what makes you profits and how-to avoid that, which doesn’t.
• And much more! – If you are ready to create greater success and satisfaction in your tourism profession and want help, give us a call. Your investment with Adventure Business Consultants will be one of the best things you ever did to increase your profits and arrivals while lowering costs. Our goal is to increase the quality of your life through a more successful tourism business. 

Step # 2: Long-term Travel Business Consulting and Project Management

Once we have reviewed the analysis and marketing suggestions together, you have the option of taking the suggestions and implementing them yourself or hiring us to help implement them.

If you see value in what we have done for you and want assistance in creating a more profitable tourism operation, we then compare priorities and further develop action/cost and time-line plans that we can implement on your behalf.

Long-term project management and public relations is a commitment that will allow your tourism board or tourism business to make significant improvements in the key areas that effect tourism profits or arrivals. We will coach and be in partnership with you on a step by step process that achieves results. Like anything, more concentrated efforts over time, yields more results.

Step #3: Short Term Travel Marketing, Business and Management Coaching

Some people don’t need an action plan or long term help. They just want a regular professional guidance and assistance to start or grow their business. Short-term coaching is customized to your needs based on where you are at with your business and where you would like to go.

All correspondences and interviews, analysis of your travel business plan or concept, review of all marketing material and web site, analysis of your current needs, written recommendations plus my verbal feedback and advice range from US$6,000 – US$30,000 or more depending on size, status, and number of elements in your travel project. We’ll give you a quote with deliverables after an initial phone consultation/interview, online questionnaire and reviewing your website to determining your specific needs and the scope of your travel business consulting project.

Project Management  & Executive Coaching

We work on a project by project basis or can implement an entire plan over time. A written project management quote with priorities outline will be given as part of your travel marketing/business analysis and action plan. 1 on 1 Executive Coaching is available on a limited basis and requires a minimum of a three-month commitment. We are dedicated to helping you have profitable progress of your most pressing problem or most important goals. Call or email us today to see if you qualify and if we have coaching space available.

To insure maximum return on your investment, Travel Business Success Consultants and our associates limit the quantity of clients we will work with at one time. We also will not work with directly competing travel companies concurrently.

We hope that this information has helped answer your questions. We look forward to assisting you and your teams build a solid foundation for long-term tourism profit and fun.
