Tourist destinations all the way up the NSW Coast from Foster to Byron Bay rely on travellers for many jobs and their local economy. These tourists come from all over Australia and overseas and some are
- young and single,
- retired couples,
- families looking for a break from the every day school / work cycle.
In our recent exploration of this area we came across the Ballina Ten Pin Bowling Alley and they seem to have done a great job making their centre the choice for young families.
When you travel with a young family
Family holidays are all about experiencing things together.
Holiday activities can include
- nature trips,
- walking,
- biking or e-bike riding
- playing in a park,
- swimming at the beach,
- fishing or
- playing games.
If you’re a business owner in a tourist region, part of your business plan is to find ways of leveraging what you already have to find more income streams and this is covered in our Business Startup Course.
Ballina Ten Pin Bowling have done a fantastic job at this for very little cost.
It’s about fun and laughter
We all know that Putt Putt golf is NOT really about getting the lowest score. It’s about laughing at the failed attempts on certain holes that end up costing you a couple extra points and pushes you down the competition ladder.
Ballina Ten Pin Bowling used some spare space in their reception area to put together a small Putt Putt area and made it interesting by combining darkness with flouro lights.
Extra income streams
If your business or the business where you work is looking for extra revenue and income sources, take the time to get to know your “ideal client“, find out what they want and see if it’s something you can provide.
If you’re an employee and you want to earn extra income to
- pay off your mortgage,
- have extra spending money for your own family holidays,
- saving money for a house or car, then
consider starting or buying an online business that you can operate from home (or even while you’re travelling).
