In partnership with Alberta Culture and Tourism, our team developed a Tourism Business Startup Workbook that has since been used to assist tourism entrepreneurs assess and plan for their new tourism-related business ventures. The Workbook was used to deliver a full-day business plan workshop, but also acts as a stand-alone, self-directed tool that facilitates exploration through all aspects of business plan development. To view a copy of the Tourism Business Startup Workbook, please visit the following link:
The Workbook was used in the delivery of multiple entrepreneurship seminars throughout the Province through the Tourism Entrepreneurship Startup Seminar Program.
The Workbook contains numerous resources and tools to help tourism entrepreneurs develop their business ideas into a viable business. Examples of these tools include an Entrepreneur Self-Assessment Checklist, Conducting Market Research Guide, Financial Analysis Tools, and many more!
The workbook included tourism success stories and important lessons from existing tourism entrepreneurs.
