Enterprise development plan
Executive Summary
The purpose of this report, using Drogheda town as the location, is to develop an idea for a new tourism enterprise/business and essentially create a proposal including a written business and marketing plan for the tourism enterprise. The authors have decided on the business plan of creating a Package Tour programme with an office situated in Dublin alongside a website where tourists can see full details what is on offer, including pricing and contact details.
There will also include an eye-catching mini brochure, which will briefly illustrate and explain what the company, “Drogheda Tours Ltd” has to offer on behalf of Drogheda.
The employers will buy rooms in the local hotels to accommodate tourists and package them with a guided tour from our expert history and culture loving Tour Guides. As well as the brochure and website for advertisement, we will use other Marketing Tools and PR (Public Relations) such as Social Media i.e. Facebook and Twitter.
In relation to the Dublin based office, the plan would be to expand and develop the company’s office facilities to Belfast and Athlone once we have proceeded to bring in revenue and make profits in the foreseeable future. It would be a great project to invest in so that Drogheda itself will in turn benefit and profit from increased tourist numbers. The main target market for the business will be on Northern Ireland and other parts of the United Kingdom (U.K), domestic tourists and those living in and around Dublin. The reason the company chose to focus on the U.K market segment is due to the fact that Drogheda is bursting with history of the battle of the Boyne and Cromwell, being a part of both Irish and English history.

Business Plan
Executive Summary

    Historically, conflict in Northern Ireland has prevented the growth of the Northern Irish tourism industry. In 1972, in the midst of “the troubles”, revenue generated by tourism was estimated to be around £8.64 million with just under 440000 trips being made to Belfast that year (See table 1). Fast forward thirty eight years to 2010, where 3.164 million tourists have paid a visit to Northern Ireland (NIbusinessinfo.co.uk), and it is clear to see that the reduction in conflict along with developments in transport and investments in tourist attractions have allowed tourism to grow dramatically over a relatively short period of time. This sector of the Northern Irish economy has continued to grow into 2013 and revenue generated annually is estimated to reach 1 billion by 2020 (NIbusinessinco.co.uk). With the UK economy struggling to recover from a severe recession, this is one of the few industries that have proven their strength during difficult times.…
