Our marketing strategy will be based mainly on making the right service(s) available to the right target customer. We will ensure that our services’ prices take into consideration organizations’ and peoples’ budgets, and that these people know that we exist, appreciate the value of our services, and how to contact us. The marketing will convey the sense of quality in every picture, every promotion, and every publication. Our intension will be to target those individuals and groups looking for leisure activities and places to visit. We realize the need to focus our marketing message and our service offerings. We need to develop our message, communicate it, and make good on it. The decision to establish strategic alliances with several hotels, lodges and travel agencies is aimed at tapping our target market effectively and efficiently.
We have identified competing companies, some firmly established, that fill the same needs as Sephats Tours. We intend to market ourselves in such a way that with time competitor customers will choose our service over competitors’ on the basis of our higher quality and informative excursions. A more thorough outline of our main competitors including their strengths and weaknesses follows:
Upon closer analysis of the above competitors it may be observed that the majority of these are offering safari excursions, and this represents an opportunity to be realized by us. According to the Central Statistics Office there are approximately 81 travel agents, tour operators and safari operators in Botswana at present, the majority of which have a South African background either in directorship or actual origin.
Our advantages are best described as our strengths:
The keys to Sephats Tours success will undoubtedly be effective market segmentation through identification of several niche markets and implementation strategies. Along these lines the company intends to implement advertising, personal selling and direct marketing strategies to the target markets. Our personal selling marketing strategies will rotate around keeping in touch with hotels and travel agencies for major customers, and advertising for more individual customers. Hence our key success factors will include the following:
Marketing plan.
One core element of our strategy will be that of differentiation from our competitors. In terms of marketing we intend to ensure that our name and services are marketed on an extensive basis so that customers are aware of our existence. We will have a Social Media Strategy. We will be in Twitter, on Facebook, and on LinkedIn. We will run promotions and sales and have our customers tell us their favorite vacations, and experiences and they will talk to each other. In price, we intend to offer reasonable and competitive prices in comparison to competition and we need to be able to sustain that. Our service marketing will strive to ensure that we establish long relationships with clients.
For the short term at least, the selling process will depend on personal selling/networking and advertising to lure and inform potential customers about the services we offer and the benefits of utilizing our services. Our marketing does not intend to affect the perception of need as much as knowledge and awareness of the service category.
At present the company offices are located at Plot Number 28338, Block 3, Belabela road opposite Gaborone Television Station, near Hill Crest Primary School. However, as time progresses the intention is to move into more accessible and attractive offices in a prime area. This regardless of the fact that our type of business is not too dependent on office location and size.
Sephats Tours will strive to ensure that it contains the latest, or extremely recent personal computer including relevant software so as to ensure that the company is continuously at the forefront in our market arena. The one certainty in our industry is that technology will continue to evolve and develop, changing what we market as well as how we market it. Our aim will be to be aware of the implications of this new technology and utilizing it in our existing framework where possible. However it should be noted that as we are new on the market it will take some time before we have in place our own website and other multimedia presentations. With time we also intend to have the latest and most efficient software in place to enable smooth operations.
Key metrics.
Our Key metrics are:
Sephats Tours is a Private Limited company incorporated at the Registrar of Companies through the foresight and vision of Mr. X and Mrs. Y. It is a 100% wholly owned Botswana firm.
The founders of Sephats Tours are passionate about the activities it will promote and offer on the market. Management style will reflect the participation of the directors/shareholders. The company intends to respect its community and treat all employees well. We will develop and nurture the company as community. However we realize that we are not fully conversant in tourism and as such intend to engage experienced staff as well as undergo a training course from a reputable institution.
The Managing Director’s experience in public commercial transportation and government will assist in the establishment of good networks. He also has attended a course in Auto Mechanics at X Centre that will assist in servicing the vehicles. However acknowledging the importance of continuous training and improvement the Managing Director intends to undergo a course in Travel and Tourism so as to be fully conversant in the field, as well as obtain knowledge of the latest developments in the industry.
Financial plan investor-ready personnel plan .">, key assumptions.
The financial plan depends on important assumptions. From the beginning, we recognize that payment terms and hence collection days are critical, but not a factor we can influence easily. At least we are planning on the problem, and dealing with it. Interest rates, tax rates, and personnel burden are based on conservative assumptions.
Some of the more important underlying assumptions are:
Expenses by month, net profit (or loss) by year, use of funds.
Thus far we have purchased a Mercedes Benz mini bus to run tours for our customers, for P167,00, which was purchased with P32,000 down and the rest on a 5-year 6% loan. Other start-up expenses covered include legal costs, business plan compilation, license costs and related expenses.

What Are Travel Professionals Success Secrets?
Sir Richard Branson & Tourism Tim Warren
Successful travel professionals know that development of your travel business and marketing skills, resources and staff’s knowledge is one of the best returns on investments you can make. Without professional development and a good actionable plan, your travel business can stagnate and your dreams turn into nightmares…
We work in partnership with you, and independently, to create profitable results, help you avoid costly mistakes, and keep you on the path to achieve your short and long-term travel business goals.

I believe in creating a concise “Action Plans” that are unique based on your current and near future needs, budget, and human resources and skills. An action plan that is simple, easy and prioritized to give you the step by step guidance to improve ALL aspects of your tourism business.

Business travel continues to rebound from the early stages of the pandemic as employees take more work trips.
A 2023 US Travel Association survey of 2,379 business travelers found that the average number of monthly trips the respondents expected to take was around three — a slight bump compared to two trips a month the previous year.
With professionals traveling more for work , Business Insider talked to three frequent business travelers about their successful habits and a few things they avoid when on the go.
1. practicing good hygiene.
While this might seem obvious, Donzella Burton , the owner of a center for assisted-living healthcare and training, said that if you're going to be taking frequent business trips, it's important to prioritize your health by practicing good hygiene.
"I travel for business once or twice a month, depending on the season," she said. "I wash my hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating or touching my face. If soap and water are not available, I try to make sure I have alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content."
While business travel can disrupt your routines, eating healthier meals and drinking plenty of water can help you feel more energized . Michael Murray, the CEO of the electronics manufacturer Kopin Corp., travels at least twice a month for business and said that eating healthy meals could be tough, especially when his flights arrive late at night.
"By the time I arrive, many hotels have shut down room service at 9 p.m.," he said. "If it's late, I tend to order from a food-delivery app while I'm en route to my hotel and focus on ordering from places with great ratings, natural food, and decent salads."
Carving out time to exercise on the road is also important because exercise has the potential to boost immune responses and keep energy levels high .
"I invested in some lightweight running/workout shoes which are easy to pack and some workout gear that is light and breathable so I can use it often," Murray said. "When I travel, I choose hotels for their gym equipment, access to walking paths, or access to a nearby fitness chain that offers day passes. I've also downloaded several fitness apps if I need to work out in my hotel room."
If you know you'll be flying often, look into signing up for an airline security program to save time before your flight.
"I recommend utilizing TSA PreCheck or Clear," Anneleah Williams-Bridges, a hospital executive and healthcare consultant who travels weekly for her job, said. "These are options to help fast-track your security-check-in process during high travel times and are a valuable time saver that will help you bypass the heavier foot traffic of all the other business travelers."
Both TSA PreCheck and Clear are often great for domestic flyers and can reduce time spent in airport security lines. TSA PreCheck users get access to a separate, shorter security line, and Clear users can jump to the front of the security line after verifying their ID and boarding pass.
While it might be tempting to use all your downtime to tackle more tasks on your to-do list and work late into the night, getting sleep is essential for a successful work trip.
"Don't be brave. You don't get a medal for 'burning through the day' without sleeping," Murray said. "I used to fly to the UK and Ireland and go straight to the office from the overnight flight, which from the East Coast is just enough time to sleep for an hour or two, maybe. In the long run, running on a few hours of sleep wasn't effective for me, my team, and the business."
1. overpacking.
Wanting to be prepared for anything is understandable, but don't go overboard with stuffing your suitcase . Overpacking can result in a cluttered hotel room — and you'll likely have to check a bag, which can slow down your commute.
"Packing light is a great way to make it through the airport quicker," Williams-Bridges said. "Only using carry-on luggage for business travel ensures that you can board the plane, exit the plane, and go directly to your destination without waiting for a checked bag. This can save you about an hour and a half of time during your commute."
Another successful habit is to avoid overplanning. Burton said that while it's important to have a general idea of what you want to accomplish on a business trip, you should leave room in your schedule for downtime and avoid scheduling back-to-back meetings or events.
"Overplanning every minute of a business trip can lead to unnecessary stress and can hinder the potential for spontaneous discoveries or relaxation," Burton said. "Scheduling downtime allows me to decompress and can offer valuable opportunities for self-care and personal reflection."
Burton said you should stick to one airline to take advantage of loyalty points if you travel at least once a month. The benefits of joining an airline loyalty program include upgraded seating, lounge access, and priority boarding.
To make things easier, business travelers should also try to book the best direct flights and not opt for the least expensive flight because "sometimes you get what you pay for," Williams-Bridges said, adding that cheaper flights could mean a travel experience riddled with complications like excessive delays.
"I also avoid traveling on holidays, which can be cost-effective," she said. "Lastly, I try to avoid connecting flights, which could add unnecessary flight time to your trip."
While many business meetings and client dinners can include a glass or two of wine, excessive drinking could result in impaired judgment or a hangover.
"While it's OK to enjoy a drink or two with colleagues or clients, be mindful of alcohol consumption and its impact on your overall health and energy levels," Burton said. "Opt for lighter options like wine or spritzers, and alternate alcoholic beverages with water to stay hydrated."

Decades ago, your vacation most likely began with a visit to a travel agent, who relied on a combination of expertise and connections to find the best deals on plane tickets, hotels, tours and more. Since then, the internet has turned most of us into our own travel agents, and artificial intelligence software is making research and self-booking even easier. But for some trips, that special insider knowledge can still make a big difference.
So when should you hire a professional, and how does it all work? Here are some tips.
It’s easy for a traveler to do the research for a standard trip, said Chris Anderson, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “so they should look for a specialist for the type of tour they are looking for, say a bike trip in Ireland, who can really add value.”
The insider knowledge offered by a travel adviser can add the most value to trips that have multicity itineraries, involve a wide age range of travelers , are very significant (like an anniversary vacation) or are to destinations you are unfamiliar with, said Gary R. Johnson, who has run the travel agency Woodside Travel in Seattle for nearly 30 years. An adviser could help you decide, for instance, in which order to visit European cities based on local events and transportation options.
Travel advisers can help you research the best destinations, lodging, or activities for your particular group and travel goals, offering up specific advice that might be hard or time-consuming to find yourself. Those specializing in cruises might know which cabin to choose if you are prone to seasickness, while a safari planner could help you decide which park would be best for bird-watching or seeing specific animals, like rhinos.
Travel advisers typically have relationships with tour companies, hotels and cruise lines, sometimes through networks. Those connections can allow advisers to offer extra perks such as late checkout, free breakfast, airport transfers, a welcome basket or a credit to spend on a cruise ship.
“A good travel agent will be a better steward of your travel budget than you are,” said Guy Rubin, managing director of Imperial Tours , which arranges travel in China.
When bad weather or other circumstances disrupt your itinerary, travel advisers often have direct lines of communication with providers and can do the work of rebooking and changing plans, saving you time and stress.
Networks like the American Society of Travel Advisors and Travel Leaders have websites that can help you start your search for a travel adviser by answering a few questions about your desired trip. Once you have a handful to choose from, get on the phone with them to talk about what they might do for you, how they charge and the level of service you can expect. Special trips can cost thousands of dollars, so it’s worth investing time up front, Mr. Rubin said.
Make sure to read over the travel agent’s reviews and any user-generated social content that mentions them, Dr. Anderson said. “If there is no external validation, that’s a red flag.”
Advisers receive commission from suppliers, typically 10 to 15 percent of the price, when selling cruises, lodging and tours. They also sometimes charge travelers a planning fee, from a few hundred dollars, which may be credited to the final bill if the booking is completed, all the way up to tens of thousands of dollars annually for a luxury concierge travel planner they can call on all year. Mr. Johnson said that he charges a planning fee the first time he works with customers. If they return for other trips, he waives the fee.
Advisers may be tempted to sell you something that will earn them a higher commission, Dr. Anderson said. But, he points out, the same is true for the large online services, which promote hotels that pay them larger commissions. Travelers can ask advisers about specific commissions they receive or how they are affiliated with the products they are recommending, he said.
Sometimes a local tour company will package transportation, lodging and experiences for an adviser, who tacks on a percentage before passing it along to a client. But a bill that is not itemized can make it harder to make trade-offs — between a more expensive hotel and a special experience, for example. If pricing transparency is important to you, discuss it with the adviser up front.
While new technologies are allowing do-it-yourselfers to create their own itineraries online based on individual preferences, and to type questions directly into travel websites, advisers are also taking advantage of those technologies to improve their services. Joan Roca, chief executive of the upscale travel planning company Essentialist said his team “uses technology to enhance the human touch,” employing artificial intelligence to choose options from a database of travel offerings selected by a human team. If a couple wants to take an after-dinner stroll, for example, Essentialist’s app will offer up ideas of where to go, based on what part of the city the travelers are in and conversations they’ve had with their travel adviser.
Considering a trip, or just some armchair traveling here are some ideas..
Italy : Spend 36 hours in Florence , seeking out its lesser-known pockets.
Southern California : Skip the freeways to explore the back roads between Los Angeles and Los Olivos , a 100-mile route that meanders through mountains, canyons and star-studded enclaves.
Mongolia : Some young people, searching for less curated travel experiences, are flocking to the open spaces of this East Asian nation .
Romania : Timisoara may be the most noteworthy city you’ve probably never heard of , offering just enough for visitors to fill two or three days.
India: A writer fulfilled a lifelong dream of visiting Darjeeling, in the Himalayan foothills , taking in the tea gardens and riding a train through the hills.
