JAUNT MAKERS PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

Mission/ Vision To be a user friendly and transparent vendor of Travel Requirements for Thailand, with most updated and upfront information on the destination at the most preferred prices.Organization OverviewThailandwale is a dedicated resource for direct consumers booking Ground Arrangement (Hotel/ Transfers/ Local Sightseeing/ Ticket Bookings) in Thailand at Prices which are lower than available at most other Travel Companies in India. Problem Statement Currently a consumer whether he books as a GIT or FIT he has to face following issues i) Response from his travel agents are generally delayed largely because the Travel Agent is dependent on another agent based in Thailand and/or another B2B partner who in turn is waiting for ground handler ii) Price difference from Quotation to Confirmation, despite the Quote the Price is never confirmed, one generally needs to pay a higher price at the time of confirmation. iii) Incomplete Information from Travel Agent, invariably for any 5/6 night package the traveller does not get all the nights as promised, Travel agents in their attempt to capture market at a lower price would always try and book for red eye flights short-changing the traveller iv) In the attempt to create a bundle of services a traveller is never sure of what has he paid for and what are the exact inclusions. v) Inconsistent services & usage of substandard hotels to achieve a catchy price pointTraveling to Thailand today comes with it’s own set of problems specifically if one is not a repeat/ regular traveler to the Thai Kingdom.Fuzzy information, unclear rates and most importantly missing vital details Classic examples A - No SIC transfers are available from Swarnbhumi Airport until 8 AM each morning, but most people who land in the late evening/ early morning are quoted SIC prices and at the last minute they are forced to take either private transfer or wait until 8 AM B – During most Thai festivals, nightlife & Services across BKK, Pattaya & Phuket takes a hit, Indians traveling during this time are never advised of the same. What is Thailandwale trying to deliver/ why Thailandwale a) Dedicated to only one destination, hence great knowledge of Product and best pricing b) Prompt and accurate pricing with no hidden charges c) Overall Transparency in terms of Hotels booked and Services (restaurants/ attractions/ transfers) d) Helping with language issues faced by Indian travellers (deploying on ground Indian staff) e) Deploying destination experts to curate all elements of an Holiday , helping travellers to get the best value for their money f) Commitment to ensure a hassle-free holiday g) Easy customization as per the need of the clientThailandWale – Will provide “clear information” and most conducive pricing based on “direct & guaranteed based” contracting so even the first time travelers feel confident and comfortable to book online @ Thailandwale.com How would Thailandwale achieve this Establishing a support/ operations office in Thailand, we would direct contract with Hotels, Restaurants, Attractions and Transfer Services to directly get the best prices for the consumer, even at healthy margins. Some of the tactics to drive lower pricing are as under - Pre-purchase agreements with Hotels/ Restaurants/ Attractions - Partner with Airlines or a consolidator to purchase Air Inventory on subsidized pricing Price Impact - what can TW offer? TW would be able to offer 7-10% lower prices on ground arrangement going up to as high as 12%. This is purely based on eliminating the middle chain, if we were to go in a step further and Pre-purchase Hotels and Airline inventory this could go as high as 15-18% What numbers can TW achieve? TW should be able to achieve 6000 FIT/ GIT Travellers / quarter, this would however take a lead time of a quarter to set up team and negotiate prices with all the vendors. With these numbers TW is looking at an annual turnover of roughly 8-9 Cr for the first 12 months which should grow at 20-25% YoY at a margin of 10-12%.Market Size Validation In 2015 - 16, Thailand received 1.06 million Indian visitors, and a revenue of 9200 Crores (1.5 billion), Thailand is expected to grow 8% yoy in terms of revenue “Thailand recorded 1.06 million tourist arrivals from India last year, with India being the sixth largest international market in terms of tourist arrivals for the country.
