My name is Peter Syme and I help travel startups grow and scale. I help established travel businesses disrupt their sector or respond to disruption. I have done several personal startups in the tours and activities sector in several countries. I have also purchased several businesses in the sector and sold some. I have had success and failure and both are learning journeys. A combination of addiction to travel, adventure and digital are what drives me.
What do I look for in order to get excited about travel businesses and want to help them?
🚀Potential for growth that seems impossible!🚀
1. Founders or Boards who know what they don’t know and are team driven.
2. Those that focus on execution more than the idea. The idea can develop and change as the business develops. Execution is a must-have ability in the team
3. Obsessive focus on the market fit and customer experience.
4. Digital and data-driven but with a story that inspires the team and the customers
5. The ability to scale using digital, platforms, communities
