2.  You have several options to choose
from when it comes to developing a
business in tourism:
 Transportation services. This sector
involves transporting tourists to, from
and around the tourist destination.
 Travel agencies. Travel agencies are
the 1 stop shop for everything involved
with visiting a place, including
transportation, accommodations and
attractions.
 Accommodations. These include hotels,
motels, bed and breakfasts, hostels,
rental houses, condos and any other
place tourists may stay while travelling.
 Guided tours and tour guides. A guided
tour service or professional tour guide is
a tourism business that specializes in
providing informative and entertaining
tours through an area's local attractions.
 Hospitality. A hospitality business
pertains to any food or beverage
establishment that tourists may
frequent.

3.  Your local tourist attractions are
good indicators of what would
and would not make a successful
tourism business venture.
 For example, if your area is
secluded from the populace and
dense with wineries, then
guided winery tours, local bed
and breakfasts, and airport
transportation services are all
viable business options

4.  Thoroughly research the
tourism businesses in your area
before you decide which
business in tourism is right for
you.
 You will want to choose a
tourism sector that is not overly
congested, and one that you can
contribute something unique to.
