Light at the end of the tunnel?
We set-up the full time operation of Toristy almost a year to the day (after about a year of part time R&D) and what a year it has been. Even though my career to date has had its fair share of adversity I've never witnessed what we're seeing today.
I was impressed with the coming together of the attendees of Arival when it was postponed last weekend due to the Coronavirus. Many people were stranded or in Berlin anyway but one thing I've learned about the travel industry is people help each other in times of crisis.
So we're going to be writing a monthly article and this is the first output from it. It will be a monthly tour and activity operator focused post that will hopefully help in some way.
In part 1 we discussed how the idea for Toristy came about after a lot of iterations of the idea. Now I want to describe what Toristy is all about from a business perspective and why you might find it interesting if you're in the travel industry. Rather than make this article a sales pitch about what Toristy is I thought I'd explain how the service has evolved based on what we learned.
I've been procrastinating for about 8 years doing this but we finally got the opportunity and now I'm all in. I've always been trying to find ways I could use my skills to help any sized business and I think this idea does that.
