ENRIQUEZ, Stefani Gwen A. Degree : BS Tourism Management Adviser: : Prof. Mark Ren-Ren Apolinar 1. Background, History and Description of the Project/Business BACKGROUND HISTORY Byahe Ko!: Local Escape Travel was conceptualized in early 2021, during a time when local tourism in the Philippines began to rise. Many people preferred short and affordable trips instead of long-distance travel, leading to the popularity of “local escapes.” One of the places that gained attention was Quezon Province, known for its beautiful yet less crowded beaches and islands. Despite its natural beauty, many tourist spots in Quezon were not widely promoted and lacked organized travel services. Because of this, there was a growing demand for a travel agency that could provide easy access, proper planning, and safe travel experiences for visitors. Seeing this situation as an opportunity, the idea of Byahe Ko!: Local Escape Travel was formed. The goal was to create a business that would focus on promoting underrated destinations while helping tourists enjoy hassle-free trips. The founders aimed to combine affordability, convenience, and meaningful travel experiences. This background served as the foundation of the company,

Operation and Production 3.1. Operations Issues OPERATION ISSUES SOLUTIONS 1. Bad Weather Conditions – Island- hopping tours depend on good weather. Strong winds, heavy rain, or rough waves may cause cancellation of trips and inconvenience for tourists. Monitor weather updates regularly before the scheduled tour. Inform tourists in advance if there are weather changes. Prepare alternative schedules or offer rescheduling or refunds when necessary. 2. Transportation Problems – Boat engine failure or delays may occur during tours, which can affect the travel schedule and tourist experience. Work with reliable boat operators and ensure boats are regularly inspected and maintained. Prepare backup transportation or partner boats in case of emergency. 3. Lack of Tour Guides or Staff – During peak season, there may be a shortage of staff or tour guides to assist tourists. Train existing staff to perform multiple roles (multi-tasking), such as handling bookings, assisting tours, and managing customer service during peak season. This allows employees to support different tasks when needed and helps maintain smooth operations even with limited personnel. 4. Customer Complaints – Tourists may complain about delays, service quality, or tour arrangements if expectations are not met. Provide clear tour details before booking. Train staff to handle complaints politely and professionally. Offer solutions such as compensation, discounts, or improved service. 5. Safety and Health Concerns – Accidents, minor injuries, or health issues may occur during the tour activities. Prepare first aid kits and train staff in basic first aid and emergency response. Give safety reminders to tourists before starting the tour. Ensure life jackets are available for all guests. 6. Seasonal Demand of Tourists – There may be months when tourist bookings decrease, especially during rainy seasons or school periods. Offer special promos, discounted packages, or group tour packages during off-peak seasons to attract more customers. Partner with local resorts and hotels to create combined travel packages. 7. Increasing Operational Costs – Costs such as boat rental, fuel, food, and tour guide services may increase over time, which can affect the profit of the agency. Monitor expenses carefully and negotiate reasonable prices with suppliers and boat operators. Adjust tour package prices when necessary while still keeping them affordable for tourists.

Insurance and Tourist Safety Requirements – Accidents or emergencies during tours may create legal liability if tourists are not insured. Provide travel insurance options and safety briefings before tours. Ensure guides are trained in first aid and emergency response. 9. Payment and Booking Issues – Some customers may cancel their reservations at the last minute or fail to pay their booking fees. Implement a clear booking policy that requires a reservation fee or down payment before confirming the tour schedule. Provide clear refund and cancellation policies.

Based on the table, each of the six partners contributed the same amount, which is ₱167,133.00. This equal contribution means that all partners share the same level of responsibility, risk, and ownership in the business. It also shows fairness because no one is contributing more or less than the others, so profit and decision-making can also be equally shared. Aside from the partners’ contributions, there is also a working capital amounting to ₱200,000.00. This part is very important because it will be used for the daily operations of the business, especially during the early stage when the income is not yet stable. The working capital can cover expenses like salaries, utilities, and other operational needs while the business is still building its customer base. Overall, this table explains that the business is funded through both the owners’ investments and additional working capital. It shows that the group planned their finances properly by making sure there is enough money not only to start the business but also to sustain its operations in the beginning.

The process begins from January to March, where the group focuses on brainstorming ideas, conducting market research, creating the business name and logo, and preparing the financial plan. This stage is very important because it helps the owners understand their target market, identify possible competitors, and determine if the business is practical and sustainable before investing in resources. After initial planning, the business moves into the preparation stage from March to June. During this period, the group starts searching for a suitable business location that is accessible and convenient for customers. At the same time, they finalize their tour packages, which will serve as the main service of the business. Legal requirements are also completed during this stage, such as registering the business name and securing the necessary permits and licenses to operate. In addition, the business begins purchasing the equipment and materials needed for daily operations, such as computers, printers, and office supplies. This stage ensures that both the legal and physical requirements of the business are completed before opening. From April to July, the focus shifts to setting up the office and preparing the workforce. The office is arranged and improved to create comfortable and professional space for customers. The business also hires employees and provides training to make sure that they can handle bookings, assist clients, and deliver quality service. Coordination with boat operators and other partners is also done during this time, since they are important in providing island-hopping services. This stage prepares both the people and the place where the business will operate.
