The motive behind choosing the business concept of travel and tourism website
designing in Indian market is because I found that India have been denoted as the place
tourist destination in the international market. The emerging growth of India in various
field such as sports, transpiration infrastructure as well as per capita income have
motivated me to choose this business idea. I have learned various things during this
research as there have been various small and medium size organisation which are
operating privately or by governmental agencies have been facilitating the adequate travel
and tourism services in the society. To improve their operational goals as well as
increasing the wealth of small tourism sectors would be adequate in measuring the comfort
of operations.
In this process, I have collected data through secondary research method by
considering the qualitative data analysis techniques. However, it has been effective and
helpful in terms of making reliable operational analysis over the functioning of travel and
tourism sector in India. There have been various businesses which are operating the
hospitality businesses in India such as Transportation services, hotel businesses,

restaurants, event planning etc. to improve their consumer base as well as creating their
identity in the market on which developing their personal website would be an innovative
approach.
I believe that, implication of various techniques and operational determination
would be effective in improving the tourism sector in India. I think this approach will
improve the sales revenue of the industries as and it will be convenient to the consumers in
easily accessing the sites and making transactional activities. they can analyse the
packages, book their trips as well as analyse the desired location to be visited (Giloth,
2018). Moreover, developing online websites would be beneficial for the industries to have
adequate mode of promotion which would lead it to have better ascertainment of activities.
I think improving the productive growth of local and governmental tourism businesses will
have enhancement in economic operations. There are various activities which would be
effective and adequate in determining effective practices.
I believe this business concept will bring reforms in the economic development and
will improve technical knowledge among society. there will be appropriate growth in travel
and tourism industries in India which would have large number of travellers in each
upcoming period. It will be effective in improving the employment opportunities for the
local residents (Setiawan and et.al., 2018). There can be development of various practices
which would result in raising the goals and motives of businesses as per having effective
control on the data base. Generating the adequate amount of revenue, having developed

identity, large number of workforce as well as wider operational functions will help the
travel and tourism agency in better growth and development.
I believe developing such operations would be effective in leading the business for
generating better marketable returns (Lee and Shin, 2018). This approach will lead a
business in sustaining fruitful gains which would be beneficial in completing the
operational goals at the right time. Involvement of various technical features would lead
the operational tendency of the organisation in attaining the higher growth. There can be
reforms in beneficiary gains and increasing revenue to have adequate growth and
profitability.
Literature & sources
1) What are the most
important
theories/literature/evidence
sources which you are
using to justify your
research and your Major
Project?
2) Why are these sources
To conduct this study on which making a reliable ascertainment regarding market
scenario, current issues as well as consumer preferences in travel tourism sector where I
have used various theories, methods and techniques to have better and reliable outcomes
(Rogerson, 2018). However, there have been use of various techniques and methodologies
which have been effective and helpful to the operational analysis and management of
various practices in the right manner.
To conduct the appropriate research operations as well as market survey on
developing an effective business concept would be based on defining various activities and
tasks (Alsayegh, Saker and Alqattan, 2018). It involves effective market research,
feasibility analysis, industrial capabilities and financial budgets to be prepared. For
scheduling such activities on which I have prepared list of activities and a Gantt chart

which have defines my entire project process. The time have been utilising in activities has
been mentions as well as the procedures defines which tasks to be prioritised before
completion of previous activities.
Similarly, for conducting a market research and analysis over various facts such as
stated competitors on which I have used Porter’s five forces which was effective in
analysing the current market scenario of travel and tourism sector in India. Thus,
developing the travel and tourism websites will be a reformative concept which in turn
would have impacts on raising productivity of business (Rogerson, 2018). I have learned
that, using this method have been effective and beneficiary in improving the business
efficiency. On the basis of which there would be increment in operational level of a
business. Analysing the strategies formed by competitors for fetching consumer attention,
as well as determining the facts through which business would have impacts on raising the
revenue structure of firm.
I can also say that, implicating budgetary influences will be effective for the
business to have adequate benefits such as making a reliable determination regarding the
costs implicated in each activity (Liu and et.al., 2018). Along with this, I think this
technique helps in allocating the funds as well as analysing the estimated revenue for the
upcoming period. The necessity behind using this procedure is for determining the
financial feasibility as well as required costs for setting up this project.
The estimation of revenue and expenses will have incurred in each period have

been defined on which I can relate it to the growth of the business. However, it has helps
me in analysing the profitability of the business as well as growth. On various operational
costs I have analysed and decided the changes incurred in each transactional process (Selig,
2018). The unnecessary activities will be influential with relation to raise the cost of
operations. Moreover, I could say that, implication of such theories and methods have
helped me in making an accurate analysis over the facts and managing the business
operations in the corrective manner.
Developing business operations as well as determining the reliable requirement on
which ascertaining the goals would have positive impacts on developing activities. It gives
an in-depth analysis over the travel and tourism sector in India on which making a reliable
change would be based on gathering qualitative gains (Giloth, 2018). I add these methods
in the study which have impacted that there would be reliable raise in this approach. I
would become to add more features in the travel and tourism website on the basis of
current issues faced by consumers.
Your Knowledge
What key areas of knowledge
have you gained from undertaking
your research and the Major
Project?
In relation with developing the skills and benefits of such techniques in improving
my potential as well as operational motive have resulted in raising the goals at the right
time. I have learned to prepare the business project report on which there are various
elements and features which have to be surveyed and analysed to have in-depth analysis
over the outcomes (Setiawan and et.al., 2018). I have learnt the manner how a travel and
tourism website would help small and medium size business to grow and retain qualitative

success. I have learnt to conduct the feasibility research on market, industry,
product/services, organisation and in financial aspects. It has helped in compering the
currently stated facts with the old perceptions (Lee and Shin, 2018). Which in turn impacts
over improving the business plan in the right manner. I have improved my skills in
determining business requirements and have made the operational plans. Thus, on which it
has a detailed description regarding the number of employees I would require in my
business plan as well as their duties have been decided under it.
Moreover, I have learnt the techniques through which a business could have
effective growth and profitability which in turn have been impacting a potential growth for
examining the facts (Rogerson, 2018). I have learnt by preparing the cash flow budget,
income statement and balance sheet to allocate the costs in each business activities such as
advertisement, setting up the business, requirement of resource etc. have improved by
skills in allocating the capital properly (Alsayegh, Saker and Alqattan, 2018). It has been
impacting on improving the operational knowledge and gains which in turn would be
effective in sustaining the growth of business for the long-term operations.
On the other side, as I have considered the secondary research techniques for the
collecting information on which there have been increment in the knowledge and activities.
I believe that, for improving the financial stability in an organisation won which there have
been requirement of managing various activities which would be adequate for sustaining
the operational goals as well as determining the gains through which they would have

relevant gains in the right time.
On the basis of feasibility research where it has been analysed that the requirement
of business website would be adequate for the business in terms of retaining the adequate
market share and making proper examination of the facts (Rogerson, 2018). I have learnt
through such approaches on which making effective operational determination would be
effective in leading the firm for retaining the proper success as well as managing
operations for mitigating the business risks.
Your Learning
What are the most important
aspects/examples of learning
and/or skills which you have
gained from:
1) undertaking the MBA
programme,
2) following through your
research, and
3) applying your knowledge
and what you have learnt
On the basis of my learning and ability for translating the business objectives on
which it has been determined by the professionals that, there would be adequate
ascertainment of operations which would have lead the organisation in retaining the
marketable success (Liu and et.al., 2018). I believe that during my module I have learnt
various theories and practices which would have impact on raising business motives and
increment in revenue generations. My tutors and my colleagues have helped me in
undertaking the best analysis over the theories, marketable concepts as well as
determination of operational practices at the right moment. Along with this, in analysing
effective gains and management of business practices which would have reflected the
operational practices which are being determined by the business professionals in
managing the organisational profitability, liquidity as well as efficiency.
Learning through such theoretical influences have enhanced my knowledge as well
as understanding towards a particular things and concepts. To develop a business based on

promoting the travel and tourism business through online website (Selig, 2018). As per
analysing the part of the study on which there have been consideration over various
business purpose, aim and objectives, vison and missions as well as ascertainment of the
effective operational gaols. I have learnt to develop the objectives of business plan such as
developing the business operations through implicating the adequate techniques for
enhancing operational practices (Giloth, 2018). Managing the operational practices would
be effective in undertaking the goals and managing performance in the right manner.
With the help of marketing plan on which making an adequate ascertainment over
the operations would be effective in leading the operational goals and making better
practices. I believe that, implicating efforts would have positive impacts on designing the
product and services accordingly (Setiawan and et.al., 2018). Along with this, for analysing
the costs of start-up ion which I have learnt the techniques for preparing budgets as well as
allocating the costs in various business operations. Preparing budgets and analysing the
costs implication have been impacting positively in terms of developing a fruitful cost and
revenue structure.
Therefore, learning and operational ascertainment would have positive impacts on
raising the capacity for analysing the market scenarios, current organisational practices
performed by other business units as well as ascertainment of the business objectives
would be effective in leading the firm for effective revenue generations.

Critical Thinking and your
ideas
In carrying out your research,
your analysis, your evaluation of
evidence, and in identifying or
proposing conclusions, what has
been the most important
discovery, or piece of evidence, or
theory, or viewpoint, or critical
idea, or critical addition to your
knowledge, or other item of
importance and why?
(max. 400 words)
I have performed the entire tasks of presenting and preparing the business
development project on which my tutors and friend have helped in learning and
understating various things. The impact of my module course has encouraged me in
undertaking all the operational efforts to be considered by the firm. In the present report,
there have been examination of various facts and figures which have determined reliable
information to be considered for developing the effective plan (Lee and Shin, 2018). For
the feasibility analysis over the market, industry, product and services etc I have used
secondary data techniques. Therefore, in this if we have performed such activities by using
the primary data techniques would have positive impacts on raising the productive growth.
Using the primary data analysis techniques would be effective in taking the more
reliable information as well as current or actual issues have been faced by travel and
tourism operators in India will be analysed perfectly (Rogerson, 2018). It brings the in
depth and clear analysis over the issues faced by them regarding the consumers, services
quality as well a market identity. On the basis of which business plan would be more
effective and conveyancing for the professionals in developing and monitoring the
operations.
There have been analysed over the various private and governmental industries
which are operating travel and tourism operations in India would have a website which in
turn will be effective and governing for managing the operational gains. I believe that, if
we have considered all the international units instead of narrowing the business concept for

India only we would have considered the international agencies which are currently
operating services in the country would be beneficiary in promoting the business
operations.
Developing the business canvas model have been a helpful tool in terms of
determining the costs, revenue, key partners, activities, resources, value proposition as well
as consumers segmentation and relationship management (Alsayegh, Saker and Alqattan,
2018). Thus, such things would have impacts on raising the operational goals and motives
to have appropriate ascertainment of business operational activities. I believe that,
analysing the operational structure and elements which are to be considered in the business
canvas model which would have must in-depth analysis and observation of the facts.
Barriers met
What were the main difficulties
and barriers which you were face
with in:
1) undertaking your research,
and
2) completing your Major
Project
During the entire research process on which there have been various barriers and
obstacles which were being faced. The limited time period has created non-satisfactory
survey analysis over the current market issues (Rogerson, 2018). There are various factors
and areas which requires to be studied to have better business development plan. In
monitoring the business concept and ascertainment of the gaols would have impacts on
determining the gain.
Conducting the market survey in terms of analysing the currently operating travel
and tourism sector in India would be more effective as if there will be selection of more
industries which are operating the travel and tourism business. Thus, analysing their
reviews through social media sites was not clear and reliable as there was no adequate and

(max. 400 words)
effective analysis over the current performance made by businesses. I believe that, for
removing the influences of such issues would be adequate in making reliable operational
analysis over the facts. There have been barriers which were affecting in deciding what a
business will offer, I have detailed the services which are I think a travel and tourism
website would reflect the adequate analysis over the facts. However, in this case on which
analysing such factors would have impact on raising the gains and making reliable
ascertainment of business activities.
There have been various barriers and operational motives which would have
impacts on raising the goals by defining the business moral and making qualitative analysis
over the figures. In collection of data base on which there have been issues as all the
secondary methods were not reliable and adequate in terms of decision making. There have
been various sources were selected and all have differences in their outcomes so a reliable
analysis is still missing. However, on the basis of my understanding and knowledge
regrading this field I have observed the data base and have reflected my opinion in the
report.
Reliable operational analysis has been made in the research which would have
leaded the organisation in mitigating the risks involved in the market. There are serval
operations which are required to be considered as to have a reliable operational analysis
over the facts. To overcome such challenges as well as unreliability of the sources on
which have prefers to undertake the reviews of consumers regarding the operational

services have been provided by the travel and tourism in the particular segmentations.
There has been identification of various issues such as mis management of
operational activities, inadequacy of business operations as well as unreliable management
of various activities have been considered to have better operational control. I believe
before developing a business plan there must be clear vision as well as motive of the plan
which would help the firm in having successful launch as well as effective performance in
the market.
Your Professional Development

business and/or management
skill(s) or academic idea(s) or

and your Major Project – and
why?
(max. 400 words)
I relation with determining the best managerial and business kills on which there
have been impacts of various operational analysis which would have impacts on raising the
capacity and efficiency in the firm’s operations which would lead it to have better
operational gains. Along with this, in analysing the competitive market I have discovered
that there are various online website developers are stated in the market which were
helping the travel and tourism industries for having an attractive, convince as well as
reliable website to operate the business activities.
Thus, on which consumer can become able to analyse the packages that have been
offered by different organization. Their analysis over such facts have been impacting
profitably by bringing them the reliable operational trust. I have learnt that organisations
are seeking for the most adequate and effective sources through which they would have
better gains and promotional advantages. Thus, developing a website of the organisation on
which it become easily for them to reach many domestics as well as international

consumers which would have supported the business operational in accordance with
managing the operations correctively.
Developing the most convenient sites for the businesses which are currently
performing travel and tourism operations in the market would have better and reliable
operational gains. I have learnt to developing the website by adding various features such
as detailed discussion based on determining public opinion and requirement through a
website. There has been discussion made on the basis of using the most reliable and
adequate ascertainment of the practices which would be effective in decision making.
Moreover, I have learnt various things and have improved by knowledge regarding
the market survey techniques, public opinion as well as current facts which are required to
be governed and considered by the business professionals. It has developed my personality
such as building the confidence in covering all the issues and making a reliable operational
analysis over the facts.

the next quarter. Along with this, delivering the best quality services among the various
industries in the travel and tourism businesses have been impacting on sustaining the
favourable growth to business.
I believe that, influences of various factors such as competitors, changing
governmental policies, laws and regulations stated in the market have affected the business
in attaining the fruitful growth and development of activities to be undertaken. Considering
the qualitative operations which are meant to be done in a specific period is said to be
adequate and manageable for having better analysis over the facts.
I think the decision have been made professionals in articulating the objectives as
well as overcoming with the stated challenges in the market. I have learnt to implicate
efforts in attaining the targets at the right time. During this major project I have made
various adjustment and analysis over the facts which would be articulating and effective in
managing the operational practices in the right manner. The objective of the business plan
is for developing and reliable identity in the market which would be beneficiary in
retaining the appropriate gains through operational practices.
The plan for sustaining the favourable growth in the market on which this objective
has been achieved as per estimating the revenue growth through cash flows, income stamen
and balance sheet analysis. Along with this, I have calculated the break-even analysis
which was adequate in detailing that the business would reach the BEP in the limited time
frame. Thus, that defines the profitability of this proposed business plan in the market.

I believe that, controlling the cost of operations would bring the profitable gains to
the firm in sustaining the market success and mitigating the business challenges at the right
time.

have collected the adequate information. In accordance with such approaches on which
making a reliable analysis have been undertaken. I have observed that currently people are
based on operating the business activities which have leaded the firm in sustaining the
better growth.
There is various information which were being collected and measured to have
effective analysis over the data base. I could say that, as per the findings there have been
impact of various analysis which would be adequate in managing the operational gains and
determining the business goals at the right time. I would have recommended as per the
outcomes that there must be adoption to the new techniques and technologies which could
be adequate and effective in mitigating the operational challenges at the right time.
I believe that, all organisation must have their personal online website on which they
would become able to upload the necessary information as well as represent the operational
goals that are to be achieved in and effective manner.
In relation with the adequate ascertainment and justification of operations on which
it can be said that, there have been effective control over the operational goals and
