Description: Unfortunately, our specific business category is not listed. This business is a Retail storefront Travel Agency and we are NOT a start-up company. We have 9 outside sales agents (home-based). We have one full-time employee in the office with two outside agents working in the office on alternating days. We are consistenly recruiting new home-based agents strictly on commission basis only to grow our network of outside agents. The agency sells leisure travel vacations to the public. While we cover the globe with Destination Weddings & Honeymoons, All Inclusive Resorts, Cruises, Land Tours, and International Air as our main products among many; we offer a wide variety of suppliers, products & destinations for all age groups. We focus on hiring agents with a specialty in a specific destination, or product brand such as cruise specialists, destination weddings & honeymoons specialist(a prime product offering), youth travel specialist, disney specialists, & so on. We have developed our very own unique proprietary product for travellers, unavailable with any other travel agency. This product is 100% profit when sold. Unlike other travel products where only a percentage of the total fare is earned as commissionable revenue. This product, if properly promoted and marketed will put this agency in a profitable state in a relatively short amount of time. As we look to the future we see a trend amongst travellers. Sustainable travel is the big buz word these days. Many travellers want to contribute to the solution of a better environment and therefore we support the suppliers who have taken action to provide sustainable travel. We are now looking to direct our marketing also towards "Voluntourism" - another trend that will soon become very popular. The average traveller is getting bored with the same old vacation and those who want to give back to the communities they visit are booking volunteer vacations where they have an opportunity to contribute their talents and time where needed in impoverished parts of the world while gaining a "reality" type experience. With Virgin Galactic having made head line news lately with its ongoing space travel preparations and preparing its passengers for their first ride into outer space, we are investigating in becoming space agent certified. There are only 2 such agents in Canada so far. At minimum $200,000 cost per passenger to start, commissions will be very lucrative. We will produce a viable business plan to market to this specific clientelle starting with one of our very own agent's very high end clientelle. We will even work with and cross market with banks to provide credit for such an experience. There are many great ideas in future trends to take advantage of now but ideas require actions and implementing actions requires funding. Will you allow me the opportunity of turning your investment into a profit with a little assistance? Note of interest: For private investors I will offer a 10% return on investment after the 1st year every year; an annual all expenses paid vacation of choice at retail value of up to $5,000 CAD; and wholesale pricing for all other personal/business related travel until principal investment is repaid. In addition, I will be very pleased to provide complimentary travel consulting and tips to all members of this network who are within our gateway range of All of Canada and Michigan state. Sorry, that wasn't so brief.
