Global Opportunity

Choose a workable model

Possibilities include guesthouses, tours, retreats, destination planning and visitor services. Each has different licensing, staffing, insurance and capital needs.

Test real demand

Study monthly occupancy, rates, booking commissions, competitor reviews and transportation access. Visitor totals alone do not establish demand for one location or concept.

Start with a pilot

A small tour, retreat or planning service can test pricing and customer interest before you purchase property. Verify foreign ownership, work visas, permits, taxes and emergency responsibilities before expanding.
