Business Concept Paper of United Developers Team
Executive summary
At the initial stage, our team studied the reviews of tourists about Moscow and Miami in the search for a correct solution to the problem of tourist flow and the adaptation of tourists to these cities. With the arrival in the city, people know practically nothing about the location and quality of hotels, museums and cafes and we believe that our idea with the website will help tourists.
The site is designed for adults who want to relax with their families in Moscow or Miami and offers great amount of hotels, interesting places and restaurants. Also on the site there is a special excursion designer with the help of which any person will be able to build his personal route through interesting places. Our team believes that in good circumstances and interest of tourists the project should pay off already in the first year and the benefits will have to get both sides: vacationers will get an inexpensive vacation, and the creators of the website – profit. In addition, we suppose that STEM would be very useful for our project in the creation of the site and in its various calculations. According to our researches we think that STEM can help us with making different routes.
Creativity and innovation
Creativity and innovation go hand in hand in our project. The main creative innovation of our website is constructor of excursions. Every client chooses his own route and places which he wants to see and our website gives him this opportunity. Also we are going to post reviews on our website about different cafes, restaurants and hotels .
Detailed description
We would like to tell you a little about our idea. In general terms, our project is a website which could help many tourists to find interesting places and hotels for a stop and a long rest. Without a doubt, there are already similar sites. But the peculiarity of our idea is the presence of the designer of excursions. This program will be designed for small groups up to 10 people. With the help of the designer of excursions, tourists themselves can lay a convenient route for them in short terms. Also all high-quality and inexpensive points of public catering on the way of a route will be offered. In addition to finding hotels and interesting places, we offer assistance with the purchase of tickets and, if necessary, visa.
The role of STEM
Technology and mathematics will help our project in many ways such as the total cost of promoting our website from creating the website itself to creating features that will make the website more unique, like a feature that makes the website refresh and add new businesses, restaurants and hotels to its wide list while also getting the best prices for hotel rooms. Mathematics will help with our website with coding and costs for the website. Technology such as computers have a huge impact on our business concept, with computers we can manage our website, making it better with needed changes to either the software to make it run fast or smoother, or to add new deals/offers.
Marketing strategy
Our potential clients are adults or whole families. Our marketing strategy is based on the Internet.

With help of this it attracts attention to our website. We are going to have partnerships with different hotels and restaurants. We give them clients and they give us sales. At the beginning we are going to have one group consist , of 5-7 people. Then we are going to have three or four groups . Per month we are going to service 20-30 people. If they liked our service they will tell another people about us. If it happened we will increase the number of clients. If we do not have enough clients , then we will decrease prices and make different sales.
