How to start a travel agency affiliated with another company

First of all, go to the local tourism bureau to go through the relevant procedures after being approved by the affiliated travel agency. You will pay the affiliated fee for one year. The amount of the affiliated fee depends on the reputation of the affiliated travel agency in the local area. The fee for a good travel agency is More, general travel agencies have less. However, a good travel agency will never allow you to open one very close to it, because it will hinder its business volume. Although it is affiliated, the business is operated independently.

Affiliation does not require registered capital. Generally, the registered capital to open a travel agency is at least 100,000 yuan. There is no need to pay registered capital for affiliation!

Affiliation and self-registration have their own pros and cons:

1. Advantages of affiliation:

1. The initial investment is much smaller, but it is also divided into two types: sales department and branch:

1. Sales department Qualified to accept the company's entrustment and handle business in accordance with the law. (That is, if you are qualified to accept tourists, you can collect individual tourists, sign contracts, book rooms, cars, and tour guides, but you do not have the qualifications to organize independent groups.

The advantage of the sales department is that the investment is small. If the affiliated party does not If they charge you rent or a deposit, the annual operating expenses will be almost zero (as for rent, this varies from person to person. It depends on how you negotiate. Some agencies require you to accept customers from them, so that’s fine. Let’s talk about rent exemption).

2. The branch is qualified to carry out business legally and has its own tax agency. It needs to pay a 5W quality deposit to the tourism bureau.

The branch. The advantage is: all qualifications are complete, and you don’t have to be secretive to form your own group. Compared with registering your own brand, the capital cost is much lower and the risk is much lower.

2. Disadvantages of affiliation:

1. In terms of brand promotion, your external promotion is someone else’s brand. No matter how successful you are, it will only be profitable, but you will not achieve long-term development if you cannot achieve both fame and fortune.

2 In terms of cooperation, for example, if you want to join forces with a local website to do some activities, you must obtain the approval of the headquarters. It may also involve profit distribution, which is more troublesome now. The tourism industry is between a trend and an inflection point. It has lost its original huge profits, is facing fierce competition from Internet companies, and is also facing the test of market standardization. It should be a critical moment when challenges and opportunities coexist.
