Module 6 Part 1: Start Smart Budget Scale Business Models

Before laying foundations in the ground, you need to build strong foundations in your business model. This part introduces you to the world of alternative tourism accommodation and helps you make essential early decisions—what type of stay you want to offer, how much you can afford to invest, and who your ideal guests are.

Whether you’re dreaming of a forest glamping pod or a restored heritage barn, success starts by understanding the unique expectations of your target market and aligning your offer with what people are willing to pay for. You’ll also explore how to budget, scale wisely, and choose a business model that keeps your operations financially and environmentally sustainable from day one.
