Doing City Tours With Buses | Business Ideas
This type of business can be made in big cities or in cities that are very nice. Also it could be made in cities that you have many things to see or that have many landmarks. I was thinking of buses that are double decked without roof.
Tourists can make pictures from the bus while the bus is moving and could admire the view. While the bus is moving tourists could be presented with a description of each tourist objective or landmark.
This type of business has a couple of inconvenience. The city that you will want to make this business in should have a light car traffic so the busses could drive easily and tourists would not wait in traffic jams. And a second problem would be suspended phone wires, if they are too low, they could bother your clients. And finally the third problem could be the gas price, but as we saw lately the gas price degreased significantly
You could start the business with a single bus, then buying others if the business is growing nicely. I would suggest that you sign different partnerships with travel agencies so the customers will buy the city tour, provided by your company.
The cost of single bus starts from 150.000 $ and could go up to 500.000 $ for an used one. For a new one, the cost could reach up to 1.000.000 $, but I suggest buying a new bus if you are going to start this business in a very big city.
To advertise for your new business you could put flyers in hotels and travel agencies, building up a web site and buy outdoor advertising.
You could also make promotions like: “For groups bigger than 25 people, you get 10 % discount”
