On social media you see pictures and videos of others having fun and cashing out as Tourism Entrepreneurs. But the truth is, when it comes to starting and building a sustainable business in the Travel and Tourism space, there is a lot of work happening behind the scene - both online and offline.

There are two major elements that successful Tourism Entrepreneurs consistently apply to stand out and draw their ideal clients:
(1) Building their “Know, Like and Trust” (KLT) factor and
(2) Mastering the Art of Story-telling and Marketing

The Tourism Business Workshop would focus on teaching participants practical skills on how to turn social media audiences into real-life customers.

This workshop is for those who want to:
• Turn their travel and tourism passion into a business
• Find a niche they can grow with in the tourism space
• Learn how to build a brand for their tourism business
• Know how to market their tourism services and products effectively
• Build a sustainable tourism business and not a 'get rich quick' business
