Hi.

Sorry for the late reply. I am just looking for any presentation materials that you might have related to Travel and Tour Business that is informative especially to those that will just start the business. Maybe the contents of the pres. materials are related to top destination for the previous years and the projected tourist destinations in the succeeding years, number of foreign and local visitors, starting up tips related to travel and tours as well as list of registered/licensed/recommended tour providers/hotels/tour related services on such tourist destinations.

Thank you.

Dawis 02:54 PM, Jan 15, 2020

And also a list of requirements/costs of processing documents in starting and operating the business.
