Hi friends
Never thought a post which I wrote more than 2 years back over here (thanks to Asha for motivating me to do the same) would help me to start my dream project, A Travel Cafe for travel lovers. That’s the power of this amazing community. I got a partner who is ready to provide a big space to start a Travel Lounge.
Concept is we want to create a Travel Cafe (A Place like 91springborad.com or Bombay Connect for travel enthusiasts) where folks from the traveler community can come for coffee, read real travel stories, exchange their experiences, post their pictures, enjoy events & meet people from different countries who all love travelling.
We want that any tourist who is coming to Mumbai, must visit our cafe. So it’s a must visit travel place for them else they will miss something in Mumbai.
Now we got a space of 2000 sq ft area in western suburbs. We need you valuable suggestions. What all can we do over there which can help us to follow our passion for travel and at the same time generate revenue to sustain it?
We thought of below options and are looking forward for your suggestions. At the end of the day, we need to justify the value of 2000 sq ft area we are going to use and need revenues to take this project forward.
1. We have 3 cabins which we can provide as a co-working space to Travel Startups.
2. We can do small & big events at our place.
3. We may sell travel souvenirs or travel photography.
4. Various ways of advertisement can be done once we get good traffic.
5. Selling of travel related products like tents, trekking equipment, etc. [Still in dilemma whether is a good idea or not].
6. Promoting Tourism for different states of India & International countries.
Also we are looking for unique ideas which can create buzz about this cafe. May not give revenue but can help to make it viral.
Any small or big suggestions are welcome to make this project a super success as I waited for more than 2.5 years to start the same.
Thanks in advance. Looking forward for as usual valuable inputs from all of you.
Regards
