 Welcome back, welcome back. This is still why in the morning, thank you for choosing to stay with us. We are on to the fast conversations of the day and today being entrepreneurship Tuesday, we are on matters of entrepreneurship and for that we have been joined by the director of weather tours and travelers as well as a tour consultant to talk to us about matters in the tours and travel business. So on my right side, I have Joseph Kimani who is the director of weather tours and travelers and then on my extreme right, I have Ida Martha who is the tour consultant. How are you? I'm good. Glad to have you with us. Glad to be here too. Okay, so we'll talk a little bit about tours and travel. Please tell us a picture. How is the business like in tours and travel? Hello guys, I'm Joseph Kimani. I'm one of the tour directors of Uezo. And Uezo basically in the Aksafirisha world too. We take you to different places. We take you to Masaimara, Mombasa, anywhere in Kenya. You reach? Yeah. Okay, Ida, how is the business like in tours and travel? I would say it's not that bad love right now because COVID came and we were striking by the COVID, but right now it's speaking, but now with the politic things. Yeah, I wanted to ask about that. Come on, Astoria. Mind the man over there. Would that affect business? It's really going to affect us because every traveler, even when you are going somewhere, one thing that you consider is security and you need one to go somewhere where there's no security. Okay. And it's going to have some problems maybe? And to add on that, when there's a traveler, it's an investor. There's no investor, they're just here. They're just visiting, they're here with you. They're just here with you. They're here with the traveler, they're here with the beginner. So, you need security, you need to be very comfortable. Yeah, tours and travel and tourism, they're together. Tourism. Yeah, you can get international tourists coming and going. Even the local ones, it's hard. Everyone wants to stay home, see if no one wants to travel. Travel. Yeah, you'll find people have booked for the holidays, but they will cancel if there are protests everywhere. Okay. So, it really does affect business. So, what would you say if the government is watching right now and they're positioned for coming from a business person? Yes, let me start with you Aida. Okay, what I would say is that I think they should come into an agreement where all these things should end for once they enter. Yeah, because it's really affecting us as youth and investors are being affected. Okay, for you Joseph. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, now let's bring us to the question of tourism and travel. And I know that your Aida is consulting for tourism and travel. So, for you Joseph, how did you come up with Where's the Tours? Okay, Where's the Tours? It's been like one year, one year and a few months. It's been a long journey. But it's been an idea. It's been a long journey. Since then, it's been a long journey. It's been a long road trip. So, it's been a long journey. It's been a long journey. Since then, it's been a long journey. So, my friend and I said, Hey, Nakim, you're still in the business of travelling. I want to teach you to think of how to set up a company and how to find a new partner. Like, you have to have a car, you have to have a good idea, you have to have a good idea. You have to have a good idea. And your company will be able to manage it. It's very successful. I'm not sure. So, like, I started working at various tourist sites. So I started working with companies. You started working with them? Yes, I started working with them. How did you start? I started working with youth companies. I started working with them. You started working with them? Yes, I started working with them. Ah, amazing. So I asked, Aydam, how did you get to consult for where the tourism travel? First of all, I'm a tourism professional. Back at my campus, I did tourism management. Apart from that, I really liked travelling. After campus, I was working somewhere else. I was at a consultant also. Then I got a chance to work with them. So I just got an interview invite. Then I went and passed. That's how I got myself to be at two ways or two ways. Okay. So you started working with them? Yes. You started working with them? Yes. So you started consulting with them? Yes. Exactly. For them, what do you advise on? What areas do you touch on? I'm doing... First of all, if you come to the office, you'll find me there. So you have a physical office? Yes. Okay. I'll do bookings for hotel bookings, flight bookings, SGR. If you want to go somewhere and maybe you don't have idea of where you want to go, I'll do for you. I'll give you options and maybe advise you on when and why to go where and when. I'll advise you. And then I also do contracts for hotels to accompany so that maybe we can get better rates. Okay. And you're going to later on in a few minutes tell us. Advice to see when you want to travel. What are the best places to visit? One thing else. I know that. But you have to tell me. So you better stay because I will tell us what are some of the best places in Kenya to visit. I don't have a low budget. Yeah, according to your budget. I always say your budget is what determines where you're going to go. Okay. I'll work with your budget and then you'll probably travel. Okay. So Sir Joseph. Yes. Back to you. Startup. I've interviewed so many startups. So I'm going to ask them what they're doing. How much money do they have? And you're fairly young one year. How did you start? How did you go about it with financing? Okay. I'm a marathoner. And still I have a lot of friends and friends. So like this is my job. I'm a marathoner. So I have a lot of time to waste. So like I have a lot of money. I don't have money to spend. So I'm going to try another side as well. I'm going to ask them what they're doing. What are they doing? What are they doing apart from my job? So my job is like this. How do you work with your job? I'm going to do a factory material. A factory? Yes. So I'm going to make a side of the house. I'm going to bring back the income. So money from this business, you're going to direct it? I'm going to direct it. If I have money, I can give it to my children. If I have money, I can give it to my parents. So you're going to give it to them? I'm going to give it to them. So what do you invest in? I'm trying to get that bit of it, maybe it's for a tourist and travel company. How much do you need for starting at least? This is for someone who wants to start a business, paint a picture, etc. So I don't know either. Starting at your company, I think you don't need so much because you can just be in your home with your laptop and then do everything. So you can start at home? Yeah, you can start at home. And run everything from there. So you need money to start a business? Yes, I need money to start a business. What do you really need to venture most in its marketing? Because you have to build your brand very well. So how have you done marketing for you guys? I do social media, like Facebook, YouTube, etc. I don't even know where I'm from. I live in a studio, so I don't know what I'm doing. So I don't know where I'm from. So I don't know where I'm from, Google, etc. And that's how I do marketing. So I don't know where I'm from, but I'm doing marketing in my own way. So what do you do on social media? What strategies do you use for social media? I doubt you want to contribute to this. Yeah, we're using an influencer. You have an influencer? Yeah, who is doing marketing for us mostly. Should I ask who is the influencer? No, it's not a secret. So who is the influencer? He's from Kuba Talents. I know Mr. KK. Mr. KK? Yeah, I know him. He's a comedian? Yeah, a comedian. Okay, okay. Interesting. So you have really grown over the period. Because if you can afford an influencer, then you're not the ordinary startup. Do you have an influencer in Hong Kong? It's also a lot of pay. Am I for you, you're looking at it as an investment? Or not? You know, if you want to make money, you have to use money. That's what I mean. That's the policy. Yeah, that's the policy. Okay. So you have to pay for the marketing because you have to reach the market. Okay, and it works. Yeah, it works. Okay, amazing. And also taking advantage of the social media nowadays. I can see almost everything is social media. Social media. So if you take advantage of it and use it, then you're most likely to reach a wider market. For you, most of the people that you've had on board coming, the age brackets, are they youth? Are they, you know, adults? Mostly, I would say they're youth. Mostly youth. Nowadays, youth are traveling. Youth. You want to spend a month or two. You want to spend a year or so. Yeah, yeah. Okay. We're speaking to the right side. Next, we're going to talk about where should we travel as youths because there's a lot of travel. But now, in the business, so far in the one-year period, what are some of the challenges in your experience, Joseph? Okay. One of the challenges is, like, there are two companies. There are so many two companies, right? Yeah. Like Bonfire, Air 2 Ways, there are so many. So, like, for example, if you're traveling, and you're traveling, you need to have a package. So, the moment you're traveling, if you're not with someone, you need to have a companion. So, if you're traveling, you prefer going to a company than going to a new house. So, if you're traveling, it's more expensive? Yeah, like, if you're traveling to a new house, if you're traveling to a new house, let's say you're traveling to a new house, you need to have an industry for long. So, sometimes, you want to go to a new house. Mm-hmm. So, the challenges? Competition. Competition. Yeah, it's very high. Okay, but you're still growing, either way. You're still a client. Now, what are some of the success stories that you have had in the company? They have you. Okay, one of the success. I remember, at some point, we were able to find clients, and we were able to do business with them. So, we were able to find clients, to pay the amount that we were expecting, so, like, No, it's a little boost. The company is growing. Kenya, I'm a tourist from outside. I'm from Kenya. So you want to support your business in short? Yeah. So we have people like that. Okay, amazing. Aida, so for people who want to travel. It depends on who you are. If you want to travel for a long time, go to Malindi or you can travel. I need like 100,000 coffee. So what are some of the things that you consider when someone wants to travel? One thing I would ask, if you want to travel somewhere, what's your idea? Like, you want to be happy. I want to be able to travel. If you want to travel, I want to go and swim. I want to go and see the ocean. I want to do boat riding. If you want to travel, go to Masai Mara. If you want to travel, go to Manakuru. No, you definitely know. If you want to travel, go to Masai Mara. If you want to travel, I want to see the Big Five. So you want to go to Masai Mara? Yes, I want to go to Masai Mara, Bosele, maybe Savo. I want to travel. Okay, so in Anzana here, what activities do you want to do? What kind of vacation are you looking for? Yeah, what are you looking for? Okay, so you want to travel. So, and then now the rate, do you, how do you come up? Can someone come to you with a budget? Let's say 20,000, 30,000. Yes, travel, what will be? Okay, in safaris we have, we have luxury safaris. We have budget tours and maybe mid-range. We have private tours also. But for now, I'd say most of people want to travel as a group. Because it will cut costs of transport. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so if someone comes to me and tells me, I have a budget of this, where can I, where can this take me? So I'll just work with your budget and see what I can offer to you. Okay. Yeah. All right. So far, Mr. Mamko, Kenya, are you looking to expand yourself to Zanzibar? Yeah, I'm trying to talk to Kenya. Even now? Of course. Even now? Yeah. If you want to go to Zanzibar, if you want to go to Atlanta, we'll definitely book for you. Any place in the house? Any place in the house. Yeah. We can go. Okay. So, I'll come and then, besides. I'll come too then. All right. All right. So what else, what is, one thing about the business that, over time, you have picked a lesson or something that someone can also learn when you're in the same field. When you're in Piaquo. Already, you have chosen to work in a travel company. Okay. Um, it'll be a challenge to get to passion, sacrifice. That's all. You don't have to have passion. You don't have to be aware of the fact. You have to sacrifice. You don't have to be aware of the fact. You have to be aware of the fact. You have to be aware of the fact. You have to be aware of the fact. You have to be aware of the fact. Then you can relax. You have to be aware of the fact, sacrifice. So all of you have to be aware of the fact. You have to be aware of the fact. So all of you have to be aware of the fact. And you have to know that you have to be aware. So many, I'm sure. And I'm sure I'm going to have passion. Yeah. Okay. I'd have, over time, when you work, how has the journey been like? How, since, Milianza, was a, you started working with them in Kianza, Yeah. Was a, how has the journey been like, for both of you? It has been good. I'd say. Over the time. Yeah. of learning, like being in the tourism industry. I really love tourism personally and I have learned a lot throughout the time I've been with them and it has been good. So it's been a good journey. Yeah, it's been a good journey. Alright, salute yourself. For me, she's a very nice girl. She's a very nice girl. So you need the right people to work with you. Yeah. I think to report on the one when I'm at Saidiya, I took her to do anything but when I saw her, I saw her. You know me and I came to... She was too young. Then she came as a professional now to give insight into it. Yes. Wow. So for you, there's another thing you need to remember. You have potential. What can you do? You look at the talents and what you like. So when I saw someone equally from your experience now, you started something and enterprise out of it. So should they look into things that they like and then come up with something from that? I think, yeah, they should look what... If they do something, they will understand. If they do something, they will understand. Just... They are so smooth and even... They are natural. They are all natural. If they come up with something, they will understand. If they come up with something, then they will understand. You fall too into place. What are some of the mistakes people make when you want to go into this venture? One mistake they make is... Getting to tours and travels, thinking, business, I'll get to, I'll get to class, or I'll get to, I'll get to to end it. So what advice would you give to that person? It's the same if you really want to venture into tours and travels. Like you said, let passion drive you and then you have to really build your brand. Build your brand? Yeah. So that's where marketing comes in? Yeah, where marketing comes in. You have to do marketing. Like marketing, you have to do it. Come on, use them. Oh yeah, use them. They're just joking. They're joking. They're joking. What do you see yourself in the few years to come, Joseph? Okay, in the few years to come... I don't want to go outside for a while or I don't want to go outside. But you don't want to go outside? Do you know what is the capacity of this building? You have to build capacity on that. So we have a fully fledged building. We have to make it possible to get to offices in different countries. Finally, as we come to a close of this, what is so unique about the triads and travel company? What makes you unique as a business? And why do you think... If you think so, every other business needs to have a unique aspect to it. Let me know, Joseph, and then I'll... Okay. We have a very unique family. We have a company called Wezo. We have to go to a place to serve. We have to take a photo. We have to take a photo of ourselves. We have to take a photo of ourselves.
