We got opportunity to arrange GOA Tour for college students. On that time we am not an travel agency or something, just got that opportunity to arrange.
So we decided to contact other tours and travels agents, After confirmation i finalized the trip from both side and they agree to do with me.
Unfortunately the trip was so awful because of worst service by that travel agent who arranged for college students, we both faced many problems like.. there is no pick up vehicle available when we reach GOA, then each time food was delayed and not good as much as we expect, also service commitment lagging, etc…
Finally trip was ended, Once we came back to our place i have earned very bad name in that college, they scold me very rudely, that’s the moment i decided to start my own travel business with proper services that no one will give.
I planned & Talked about this with my well wisher mr.imithoyaz Rizvi regarding this. At end of discussion we made ourselves as partners & to Kick-start a Travel Agency.
So very next day we moved into the tie up office that is we asked one person for a help that i need some space in your office for doing travel business also i said to give you rent share..
They agreed to give some space for us in their office.
So we decided to do only GOA tour service, because on that time only thought to do GOA tour services for getting enough money in each month. so we decided to name our travel business as GOATUBE.in and we created the logo for that.
Also we created a pamphlets, flyers, visiting cards etc..
We placed the banner in front of the CARNIVAL CINEMAS for a month. We got good response by that advertisement but no one is came to take our services.
That moment we thought how we going to make it, this travel business is stable or not, we are very upset in those days because we invest more money but we don’t get any returns in that.
Even though such things pull down us we keep promoting our business by neighbor’s, relatives, known persons from tea shop for getting the orders from them.
Several months later, we have earned some genuine guests from outside like unknown persons, Literally we earned enough money as what we expect for monthly personal / business use.
That time we mainly focused on branding like.. daily we used to post GOA tour related photos in Facebook market place, sharing the posts in several FB Buy & Sell groups & pages.
By keep doing this we understand one thing that people from outsides are showing more interested in GOA tour, almost we got 20 – 40 enquires daily from Facebook posts.
After getting some results in Facebook we decided to shift our office to Coimbatore.
Because Dindigul is a 2nd tier city, there is no scope for doing GOA tour service from here so we moved into Coimbatore.
In Coimbatore, we don’t open the office at first, we work together in home itself only because we don’t know how Coimbatore city will help us for doing this business, we don’t know about the places, we don’t know about the mindset of peoples so we decided to work in home.
We decided to buy TICK YOUR TOUR domain for website so i searched many platforms then we found the domain name called TICKYOURTOUR.COM spotly We purchased that domain from GoDaddy platform
