Description: 1.0Executive Summary The travel industry is a significant part of the world's economy and growing at a solid rate. A growing trend within the industry is for (especially younger) travelers to use web-based sites and tools to make their travel arrangements, including hiring tour guides to enhance their experience. Although resources already exist to support this application, none allow travelers to research travel guides as thoroughly as they would like. Providing visitors with a much more comprehensive description of tour guides' backgrounds, specialties, skills, etc. provides an improved service for the convenience of travelers. The ability to post and access trusted tour guide reviews adds yet another dimension for site visitors, and to help them make the right choice. The availability of other travel-related services (such as the ability to make reservations and purchase of transportation, lodging, and dining) further enhance visitors' experience and encourages visits. In addition to membership fees charged tour guides, the business will also generate revenue from airline, hotel and restaurant commissions and fees, and advertising on the site. Lonan founders possess a unique opportunity to address this market need – they possess the skills, experience and understanding of traveler needs that are necessary to successfully build and operate this exciting new business. 2.0 Elevator Pitch -Many more people are traveling than ever before for pleasure. -Unfortunately, a greater percentage of them are disappointed with their experience because of unforeseen circumstances. -We provide information, insight and guidance that enables them to have more pleasurable experiences. -We also provide recommendations and advice from trusted reviewers. -Further if they would like additional assistance at their destination, we can connect them with local guides to enhance their experience.
