What business can I start at a tourist destination?
I have around 24sq.mt. of shop space at a tourist destination, Goa to be precise. I am planing to start a business of my own there. Can any one suggest what business I can start? I was planning to start a Internet Cyber Cafe. Will it work?
Internet cyber cafe? You mean a cafe with Wi-Fi ?
No, it wont work.
You need a culinary Degree in college. Thats what a cafes about.
People can get Wi-Fi anywhere.
You could make Trinkets like pin-back buttons.
Machines are pretty cheap.
I mean, any business needs to invest.
You could make shirts etc.
But they probably already have a shirt and trinket shop.
Be more creative, go see what shops they already have. And see which ones have the best market.
You are the only one that can figure that out. You need to write a business plan. Go to http://sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplans.com for instructions on how to write a business plan and sample business plans.

This will not work as the most of the people have mobiles with them which have high class features. You should go for a provision store with all the eatables there and one computer can be accommodated for stray customers. You can have finance from any bank say sbi.

Successful business owner.
Most tourist from abroad come to Goa, because they heard about it from others.
So you have lots of tourists in Goa. But with very little knowledge about rest of India. They also get bored after few days in Goa. So start a business to make their stay more enjoyable.
You start a Travel agency -
1) Name : "MORE THAN GOA !!!" or "India Extended !"
2) Create Package Tours for "other Indian Destinations " For example : Havelies and Palaces in Rajasthan, backwater in South, nights in jungles etc…
3) Develop some contacts with tour operators in other areas.
4) You are in business !
If you are looking for a partner, you know who to contact !!!

Cyber cafe is good but i don’t think that this will give you good return on your investments particularly on tourist places and destinations. Reason behind is that most of the people try to get relaxed and hang out with adventure sports rather than surfing over cyber cafe.
So i will suggest you that you start cafe or restaurant where people can come and enjoy.
