Challenges and risks, related business on bus tours

1. The network has a lot of offers from private transport companies and agencies. Beautiful website does not always give an accurate idea of, as a technique will reveal itself in the course of work. The site description of the bus and the real situation may be different - for example,, presence / absence of the air conditioner. It is better, if a representative of your company will be able to check all the items on line, and then you need to let the rented bus in your sightseeing flight
2. drivers, employed under a contract of transport rent, I can ignore the ban on talking on the phone while driving. Also, the driver can smoke, that not everyone likes to passengers, especially with children.
3. Force majeure - chartered bus was not provided on time, in the terms stipulated in the contract.
4. Book in advance hotel rooms can be provided to customers at a higher price in the high season.
5. Hire an experienced guide, which is able to revive the story interesting facts and naturally communicate with excursionists rather difficult, sometimes there is a "turnover" frame.
6. With museums must be agreed in advance – not be allowed association of several groups - this is strongly reflected in the quality of services.
7. Takiom margins in a business can reach 20%, but the standard group can not reach 15 and more people. In this case, it is not necessary to cancel the trip - this will significantly reduce customer loyalty, and come up with a way to make the missing funds for the expense of another group or offer VAS for a fee. Canceling route should be a last resort - you can also try to propose another development trip or return to customers of the funds.

business Urgency

Business, based on the provision of services on the organization of a bus tour on comfortable buses is profitable and fun. Clients of all ages like to visit in new and interesting places, learn new things, make colorful photos and video, to share experiences with friends. Bus tour, which brings a steady income and the influx of new customers should be planned in such a way, to tourists for a short time were able to cover the largest number of attractions and places.

Pay attention to the new legislation. So, at 2013 It was adopted and signed the bill, imposing an obligation on tour operators to upgrade bus fleets. At the current business it has been several years in order, to renew fleets. New rules for the transport of children, and require updating the fleet once 10 years old. The bill will come into force in January c1 2018 year and will prohibit the transportation of children on buses, which more than 10 years old.

Many experts are inclined to believe, This measure is not a measure to increase security, and only make business to spend more or to close the tour, which has a negative impact on the volume of proposals and reducing the possibility to spend the school holidays and public holidays.

According to statistical data, Only in St. Petersburg, children's group serves about 1 000 buses. About a third of them over 10 years old, and falls within the scope of the ban. TO 2020 , the right to transport passengers only school age will have 50% existing bus fleet. In other regions, will lose the right of children's transport to 90% transport. The most affordable new bus will cost Chinese-made businessman in 9 000 000 rubles, from European and domestic manufacturers - 18 000 000 rubles. In this way, payback tourist industry in transportation will be equal to 15 years, Besides, obtain reasonable rates of interest at the bank for this kind of business today is very difficult. Loss of turnover is already forcing businessmen to raise prices for their services, So, comparing with the previous year, price increased by 20%, to 1 800 rubles per hour.

In this way, number of excursions may significantly reduce, and the amount of revenue in the low season fall significantly. A significant problem for business is also becoming tougher trip Harmonization. According to experts, older buses 10 years old, it is capable of serving a large passenger flow provided timely technical inspection, replacement of parts, Fuel and proper maintenance.

Wherein, Similar bills significantly support the domestic auto industry and the increase of healthy competition - the market will be forced to leave the small travel agencies, activity has been directed primarily to work with children's groups, the other travel agencies will be able to compensate for the costs due to transport groups of adults.

During the high winter season is expected to increase the number of clients to 10%. According to the statistics, that the number of orders for children organized group excursions in the northern capital fell twice. The school administration is afraid to take on increased responsibility, and transport companies are not willing to pay large fines.

recall, that the rules of transportation of children were also tightened the requirements of the Russian Interior Ministry order number 941 on the procedure for filing notice of an organized group transportation of children from buses 30 December 2016 of the year, entered into force 1 April. So, according to the order, organizer of transportation of children is required to notify the traffic police to conduct tours, specifying the number of children transported, route program, as well as complete information on the bus, водителе, owns a bus transportation company, as well as the organizer.

Earlier notice on the implementation of traffic directed tour operators in the traffic management, now it must be sent to the district at the starting point of the carriage units. At the same time supply the documentation by e-mail is not available in all regions. Traffic police departments can work at a very inconvenient schedule. After reviewing the notice of carriage, permission for it can not give. Also operates a system of fines for filing the notice is not modeled or late filing.

The bill also does not provide for force majeure: So, it is impossible to replace the diseased driver, since information about it is applied for 2 days prior to the trip. Under current law, for violation of traffic rules during the day the children there is a penalty for the driver in the amount of 3 000 p. rubles, for officials - 25 000 g., for legal entities - 100 000 p. Industry representatives say, that the cost of services will increase several times. Already parents of students now pay 20 000 p. 5-day tour.

2. Guide / tour guide / animator services for tours with children.

This type of business is very capital intensive and risky.. For, to attract profitable business partners or investors, a high-quality tourist bus business plan should be developed. The state often provides support to young entrepreneurs, however, grants are more likely to be awarded to production areas of economic activity or scientific / technical development. Therefore, buying a car fleet, its registration with the appropriate governing bodies, ensuring its repair and operation, as well as ensuring the safety of customers, will completely fall on the shoulders of the enterprise.

According to experts, most often, startups choose not to purchase their own bus fleet, and concluding a lease with a transport company, which provides cars for excursions for a certain period. In order to provide a decent service for citizens of Russia and guests of the country, choose a proven transport.

If the amount of initial investment allows, for the formation of a vehicle fleet, you can purchase the so-called. stock buses from Europe - local legislation obliges to update vehicle fleets 1 every five years. So for relatively little money you can get high-quality transport..

High season for this kind tourism business is the period from spring to early autumn. In winter, the car fleet can bring exactly the same amount of funds, that they will be enough to cover current expenses. It means, that the bulk of the income and the ability to pay interest on loans will be in the summer months. Full repayment of debts occurs in five years from the date of registration of the business.

The best option would be to prepare an excursion package a few months before starting a business - so you can start active work immediately after receiving all the necessary permits, and the car fleet will not be idle. During low season it is also possible to arrange winter excursions for students schools and universities. Greater profitability occurs during the period, when there are more people willing to visit the excursion, than originally planned by the business plan.
