Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hello all together,

I´ve got an idea in the travel sector when it comes ton advice from real travel experts about destinations, insider knowledge, best deals, great tours and so on. Why not build up a Q+A Online Service where you could answer travel relates questions an get answers from travel EXPERTS (with a license i.e.) you can trust on? Sure there has to be a small fee which is splitted by the expert and the platform.

It could be like justanswer.com for travel.What Do you think?

My advice is not to spill all your beans on a public forum like this.  You never know who is reading and will take your plan and implement it.

Sorry, but was that an anwer on my question? If I would need an advice how to do market research or founding companies I would come uo with that to you. If you are not able tell your opinion to business ideas stay ahead from this forum.

My suggestion would be to partner it with links to travel providers for a revenue stream.

If you could build a system that would match up their questions with suggested providers, it would not only answer a travel question, but give them the solution to booking the travel.

It would be an important revenue stream because it is tough to build a paid content site without significant capital upfront to cover operations until the membership base is built.

Hi Teresa,

thanks for your post, very helpful. Besides the additional revenue stream: What Do you think about the idea from the point of view as a potential customer? Would you pay for travel-relates answers or booking offers to your travel requests?

I know smarterleap, I am a paying customer... So paid conten should work...;-)

I would think that if you do a great job and make it different from what is already out there since there is a lot of free travel advice online that it could work.

Hi Anna,

what is already out there? In your opinion: what has to be different or better than the free advice possibilities?

If you planing a travel plan so some thing are important you know firstly know about the whole basic things about the place where you want to like resorts visiting places etc. And alert of cheater.....oK

Enjoy the trips.........

Looking for the cheap flights : cheap tickets online and last minute flights

you should be there at least 2hours early, make sure you check with the airline what you can and cannot pack and b ring on plance, as well as the size you lugguge you can bring. Keep your identfication and ticket on hand! Good luck

I'm not sure how well this would work as most people these days would use a search engine to ask any travel questions they have or visit a free site like trip advisor.  I know you say it would be from experts but a lot of the time good advice doesn't need to come from an expert just someone who has been to the destination and experienced it first-hand. It might work as a free tool but then I guess that would defeat the purpose.
