You love seeing others do well and will often collaborate with them to fuel that success.

You’re likely to know everyone in the community on a first-name basis. More importantly, you know all the gossip around town – or at least have the sources for it.

Other tour operators

To create packages including tours & activities from each of you, that collectively deliver a better, more holistic experience to the guest. For example, in the Hunter Valley (Australia), multiple wineries have partnered up to offer a package that brings guests to each of their wineries as a day or multi-day tour.

You could also resell each other’s tours and activities. At the end of your tour or activity, you can recommend that your guests go to your partner’s tour or activity and vice-versa. This way, you’ll both make some commission and more bookings.

PS. You can set all of this up within Rezdy.

Accommodations like hotels and holiday or vacation rentals

You probably already know the owners and managers. Why not partner up with them and have them resell your tours and activities to their guests in exchange for commission? This way they make some extra revenue, you get more bookings and the accommodations get to deliver a better experience to their guests.

You could easily set up this partnership by sending them affiliate QR codes. These QR codes can be displayed on their premises. When a guest scans the QR code, they’ll be taken straight to your booking site and if a booking is made, your partner will be paid automatically.

Your storytelling skills can also be used to share the stories about your business or region. With your skills, you’ll be able to easily create compelling content for social media, blogs or publications that showcase the unique aspects of the community, its people, and its history. This can help to attract more visitors, boost local pride, and create a sense of community.

You may also consider offering consulting services. Given your multi-talented and reliable nature, people naturally gravitate towards you for advice or solutions. Sharing your knowledge through a structured way will help others succeed in the best way possible.

Finally, while it’s great that you’re always looking to help others, don’t forget about yourself. It’s okay to practice self care sometimes, don’t get yourself burned out in the process of helping others and be wary of those who are trying to take advantage of your kindness.
