Hello guys,<p>I am currently working for a startup company in South East Asia that is developing a search engine for Tours (vacation tours). Initially, it seemed like a very cool idea but then I started to wonder why no company has ever done this (or maybe companies HAVE done this but failed and we don&#x27;t know about). I&#x27;m interested in what you guys think of this business idea. Your feedback would be very helpful. So the company started this idea based on the premise that:<p>1. The Tour industry, while only accounts for roughly 10% of the entire tourism industry in SEA, lacks a search engine that allows customers to filter available tours based on their specific needs and wants such as: price, locations, itinerary, conveniences, etc...<p>2. There are many tour providers both foreign and local that cater to customers&#x27; specific needs and demands but the shear number of tour providers along with the enormous amount of tour options can overwhelm customers.<p>-&gt; Opportunity to build a platform that allows customers to search for Tours just as they would when search for hotels or flights on websites such as Booking.com, Trivago, etc...<p>-&gt; Idea: A search engine that crawls tour data from the Internet in a specific region -&gt; Categorize this data to provide customers an overview of that tour available are like based on 16 different tour characteristics (number of days, transportation mode, activities,...) -&gt; Redirect customers to Tour providers websites -&gt; Collect commission based on prior agreements with tour providers<p>Personally, I think it&#x27;s a pretty solid concept because there are numbers to back it up but somehow I still can&#x27;t shake off the feeling that there is something inherently flawed about this idea. But idk what? Maybe you guys can help me.<p>Thank you
