CONSORTIUM
The consortium participants are as follows:
-
A couple of major travel agencies from each country:
The travel agencies are direct partners of business.
They have many SME partners with whom they supply travel tours. The portion
of the service they provide is organizing the connections between these
SMEs. Our firm will work with the agencies on a commission basis. The agencies
will be compensated by our firm for their services and thus no direct payments
are to be made by the customers for the use of facilities that are included
in the program packages.
The SMEs working with the agencies will provide alternative
tourism options such as historical, religious, cultural, ecological and
agricultural and outdoor tourism.
-
Ministries of Tourism of countries
The ministries should encourage the tours made in Mediterranean
countries by enacting appropriate legislation that eases the passes from
one country to another. This should be achieved through negotiations. They
should also make regulations that will enable the agencies serve with a
high degree of freedom and should have discounts on prices of state-hold
enterprises’ service and goods.
The university partner will undertake the technical
support that will make the project possible through effective computation
of optimal routes for travelling tourists and other logistics-related parameters.
Initial market researches about demand, places of
alternative tourism activities and/or opportunities, and suitable SMEs
as future partners will also be conducted by the university partner.
The bank partner will accommodate our firm with merchant
credit card account, which is currently the only way of making secure transactions
over the Internet.
Contribution of the IT Consultancy firm partner will
comprise the main functions of an efficacious Web presence such as the
hardware requirements of all kinds, firewall security (PC) and maintenance.
The web page, i.e. the end user interface, will also be designed by this
firm.
