PART 1: THE ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN

A. Summary description of the businessNumerous scope of being successful in the emerging tourism industry of Bangladesh inspires

seven entrepreneurs to take an initiative to start a resort business in Bangladesh. We the seven

people belong to different fields have established a partnership business in the running year

2010. The idea of starting this business came into action in the month of October of this year.

Our business is offering tourist place with all desired facilities wanted by a tourist in his/her

holiday tour. We identified that in Bangladesh fully eco based resort is quite a unique and

recent idea. To pursue ample opportunities of this business we have taken all necessary

initiatives and prepare ourselves with an effective & good planning to run a successful

business.

Mission Statement

Blue Heaven Resort is aimed to provide highest level of satisfaction to its honorable guest

whom we consider as our ‘Honorary Ambassador’. Blue Heaven Resort is a socially and

environmentally responsible nature based resort.

We desire to achieve our breakeven point within 5 years of establishment.

Vision Statement

By providing maximum satisfaction through our service we dreamt to be number one eco

tourist spot in South-East Asia within 10 years. We are developing a nature based resort with

a spa and wellness center that protects the natural and cultural heritage of Bangladesh,

provides authentic and distinctive travel experiences to discerning travelers, promotes

sustainable development, and improves the quality of life in the host community.

Not only Blue Heaven Resort is one of the premiere resorts in Bangladesh, but it will also be

committed to responsible hospitality, designed to harmonize with the community and

powered by alternative energy.

Objectives

The objectives of the Blue Heaven Resort for the first five years of operation include:

Exceeding customer's expectations for luxury vacation.

Maintaining a 90% occupancy rate during the peak periods.

Assembling an experienced and effective staff.

Business Model

A business model consists of two elements:

(a) What the business does, and

(b) How the business makes money doing these things.

Business model’s classification can be drawn under 2 dimensions.

Page 2: Blue Heaven Resort

First dimension—what types of rights are being sold—gives rise to four basic business

models: Creator, Distributor, Landlord, and Broker.

The second dimension— what type of assets are involved—distinguishes among four

important asset types: physical, financial, intangible, and human. This distinction leads to four

subcategories within each of the four basic business models for a total of 16 specialized

business model types.

We consider ourselves as a Physical Landlord who sells the right to use a physical asset. The

assets are, for example, a location (such as accommodation facility in our resort area,

amusement and recreation facilities both in our resort and surroundings) and equipment (such

as our own transport vehicles- 2 air conditioned bus, 1 private helicopter; research equipments

in our research center for the researchers). According to our type of business we will follow a

business model which is in the second dimension: what types of assets are involved in the

rights that are being sold. This business model is common in industries like real estate rental

and leasing, accommodation, airlines and recreation.

Figure 1: Business Model

All business model types are constructed consists of three choices management must make:

The customer, i.e., who the business will serve

The value proposition, i.e., the "offer" that will be made to the customer

The resources and capabilities that will create/deliver the value proposition

Page 3: Blue Heaven Resort

■The Customer

As a business entity in tourism industry Blue Heaven Resort’s main targeted and potential

customers are tourists who love to travel. Both local and foreign tourists are our customer.

Newly married couple- Around the whole world, there is a common trend of traveling among

the newly married couples. They love to spend a memorable and romantic time in a place of

pleasure and undoubtedly we love to serve them as our honorable customer.

Researchers- Bangladesh is geographically situated in a naturally vulnerable position. Blue

Heaven Resort is placed in such an area which will attract researchers of different country for

environmental research. We will provide enough research facilities and equipments to capture

these customer groups.

Family person- Family persons who like to have a vacation in a place of natural beauty with

their family members are also our customer indeed.

Corporate customers- Corporate officials who may wish to have an official picnic, offer

travel tour to their foreign delegates or throw a different events (like launching a product or

other marketing activities) in an extra ordinary location like ours. So these business groups

are also considered as our profitable customer.

Foreign delegates- Foreign delegates who may come to our country for attaining

international seminar or any other purpose sometimes wish to visit our country. Such people

are also potential customers of Blue Heaven Resort.

Elderly person- Elderly persons who are mainly travel lovers in nature and want to spend

some time close to nature can be good customer of a resort.

Students- Students sometimes may become our customer directly or sometimes indirectly.

They may come to our place by their own initiatives and sometimes may influence their

parents or friends to select a place for visiting. From this point of view we will prefer to care

about this customer group as one of the important customer segment.

■Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

experience extreme adventure.

Page 4: Blue Heaven Resort

Ignite tourists’ appetite in a different but interesting environment. Cultural

performance will be performed by some tribal when guests will take their dinner.

Our guests will be served with amazing fresh foods. A big portion of our food supply

for the guests will come from our own projects.

■Resources and Capabilities

15 acres land surrounded by natural beauties

2 air conditioned bus

1 private helicopter

Infrastructures in the resort area

Strategy Blue Heaven Resort is intended to do huge promotional activities in comparison with other

resort business in the tourism industry of Bangladesh. Aggressive marketing will be taken in

winter season to the general customer. During the period of natural disaster general tourist are

discouraged to visit our place but researchers and environmentalists will be encouraged

through our different promotional activities and offers (Like, different price & services for the

packages).

Our customers are looking for a different experience that cannot be found in any of the areas

in our country.  We will offer our customers a comfortable, congenial environment that will

assure return visits to the Blue Heaven Resort.

Our packages will cost a little more but we will offer our customers all the services they need

to make their stay memorable.

■Competitive Edge- The competitive edge of Blue Heaven Resort is the service, first

and foremost.  All Seven partners of Blue Heaven Resort have enough experience in tourism

industry. Our managing director Mr. Ashik-E-Elahi is the manager-owner of the Crest Lake

Inn.  He has owned the inn for ten years.

General manager Mrs. Tajkia Hafiz is a present assistant manager of customer relation

department of Kingfisher Bay Resort, Australia.

Other five respected partners who are acting as managerial head of five different departments

also have experience in operating business effectively and important involvement in different

branches of tourism industry.

Mr. Fuzael Ahmed recently was the technical manager of the Bay of Bengal Resort. He held

that position for the last five years. Before this position, Mr. Fuzael Ahmed was the manager

of The Ridge, a 60 unit condo complex in Silver Lake Village.

Page 5: Blue Heaven Resort

Ms. Farhana Akter is a reputed business tycoon of Bangladesh. She was also a former senior

marketing executive of Hotel Bangkok City Inn.

Mr. Atiqur Rahman is the current director of Bangladesh Tourism Foundation. Beside our

partnership business he has a sole proprietorship business in transport sector. He is the owner

of Star Line bus service which currently has country wide route coverage.

Another two partners of our business Md.Chhaliuddin and Mr. Raquib Ahamed are

successfully operating their own family business. Their educational background will also

keep us a step ahead from our competitors.

Mr. Fuzael Ahmed and Ms. Tajkia Hafiz are two honorable members of the Association of

Travel Agents of Bangladesh (ATAB).

Another significant advantage for the Blue Heaven Resort is its location.  Being located in the

proposed international kuakata airport and 50 feet above from sea level, Blue Heaven Resort

is uniquely positioned.

■Marketing Strategy- Blue Heaven Resort has its own website and

advertising/promotion program that promotes its services. Both actual and potential

customers will be communicated through social networking sites, direct mails and fan

page. Public relation managers will be available 24/7 to solve customers’ problems

and to give any relevant information of the resort if needed. There will have some

offers of discounts on the basis of reference and loyalty of customers. To inform and

remind people about our services several other promotional activities will be taken as

a part of our marketing strategy.

Strategic relationship

Blue Heaven Resort has entered into two strategic relationships. One with TechnoHeaven

Company limited a software developer company and another with Group Four Securities

(G4S) Limited a security solution provider company. From the 1 st agreement Blue Heaven

Resort will provided with all kinds of administrative information system facilities, MIS

development software, and a well designed user friendly website from TechnoHeaven Ltd.

our strategic relationship agreement is included with this business plan with other supportive

documents. 2nd agreement with G4S will indicates that Blue Heaven resort will be provided

with personnel who will involve in ensuring security for customers and employees of the

organization.

These two strategic relationship agreements are attached with the business plan in the

supportive document part of it.

Page 6: Blue Heaven Resort

SWOT Analysis

To get direction and the basis for the development of marketing plan we prepared a straight

forward model of SWOT analysis. This SWOT analysis model is consists of our strengths and

weakness in addition to opportunities and threats.

Blue Heaven Resort has several powerful strengths on which to build, but our major weakness

is our capital. Ours is a partnership business of seven partners, and this business is going to

run only with the partners provided capital not any loan financing. Main opportunity for us is

the encouragement given by our government to the tourism industry. We also face the threat

of ever higher competition from existing resort businesses as well as downward pricing

pressure.

Strengths- our internal capabilities are or strengths which will help us to reach the

objectives.

Fully eco based natural resort. We strongly believe that through Eco tourism we can

play an important role to safe guard our natural resources and sustain the ecological

process of the nature which should also be the ultimate motto of modern tourism. Our

value will be appreciated by the environment lovers.

We follow Aerodynamic theory to build our cottage. This theory gives an idea about

the proper shape of an infrastructure which can protest the wind from massing up it.

This shape of our cottages will ensure more safety of the infrastructure from natural

disasters like cyclone.

The resort is surrounded different types of trees. Trees are placed like a boundary of

the place which ensures safety of the land and people of the land as well. So we can

provide highest safety to the tourist in this costal area of Bangladesh.

Experienced owners and skilled management of Blue Heaven Resort are also its

strength.

Uniqueness of our place, services and offerings also will act as our strength.

Blue Heaven Resort is offering most reasonable price for most quality services within

South-East Asia.

Weaknesses- As we are entering in a highly competitive market with the existence

huge powerful competitors our main weakness is our capital.

In comparison with some existing strong competitors we are going to start our

business with very low capital.

Blue Heaven Resort has no established brand image whereas existing strong

competitors already have strong brand recognition. We will address this issue with

aggressive promotion.

Though we are offering huge packages and different services our strong competitors

are giving more.

Page 7: Blue Heaven Resort

Opportunities- Blue Heaven Resort can take advantages of 4 major opportunities.

Namely

Recently Bangladesh government is giving due importance on the development of

tourism industry. Eco tourism is getting extra priority in this case. So different

facilities and favorable policies about tourism industry will work as opportunity for

our business.

Bangladesh government has a plan to establish an international airport in Kuakata.

Blue Heaven Resort is only 3 kilometers far from the proposed Kuakata airport. This

can help us to attract more profitable customers.

Increasing demand for recreation area outside from busy city life.

Now more and more people are becoming environment conscious. And we promise to

be a socially and environmentally responsible resort in Bangladesh. . Blue Heaven

Resort will sponsor an environmental education program in a nearby school to raise

awareness of environmental issues and to promote recycling, composting, and

alternative energy in the region.

Threats- Emerging external elements that could potentially challenge our

organization’s performance are being considered as threats for us. We face main threats

at the introduction of our resort.

Ever higher competition from existing resort businesses can act as a potential threat

for Blue Heaven Resort. With huge capital, established brand image and strong

network some top level competitors will give us tough fight in the field.

Downward pressure on pricing- increased competition and market share strategies are

pushing resort package prices low.

B. ServicesTourism is one of the initiators of people's movement, a facilitator for exchange of

knowledge, a provider of pleasure, a way to enjoy leisure, and a means to enrich culture.

Under Bangladeshi tourism industry Blue Heaven Resort is a unique eco based resort where

first class services will be provided for different classes of tourists from different countries

under different packages. There was a time when only the elite classes had the time and

money to enjoy traveling. But now rise in standard of living and development in transport

industry has bought holiday traveling within the reach of middle and even working class. So

we are going to offer same category of services in different quantity and quality in exchange

of different level of payment. Services that we are planning to provide at present and in near

future can be pointed out like below list-

I. InsuranceWe carry property insurance for our resort. Because Property insurance provides protection

against most of the risks related to property, such as theft and some weather damage. This

includes specialized forms of insurance such as flood insurance, earthquake insurance, home

insurance or boiler insurance. As our resort is in a naturally vulnerable place of Bangladesh

the property insurance will protect us.

Property is insured in two main ways - open perils and named perils. Open perils cover all the

causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy. Common exclusions on open peril

policies include damage resulting from earthquakes, floods, nuclear incidents, acts of

terrorism and war. Named perils require the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for

insurance to be provided. The more common named perils include such damage-causing

events as fire, lightning, explosion and theft.

We will follow open perils as we deal with a lot of risk which will be hard to specify in the

insurance contract.

From Bangladesh General Insurance Company Limited (BGIC) we will take our insurance

policy. To cover all risks related to our business we will take ‘Industrial All Risk Including

Business Interruption Insurance Policy’. In purpose of property insurance our annual cost

will 1,20,000 taka per year against 35 crore BDT capital.

J. SecurityTo ensure highest level of security of life and wealth for our customers in the resort and for

our employee in their working place authority of Blue Heaven Resort has made a strategic

relationship agreement with Group Four Securities (G4S) Limited. Security personnel

appointed by G4S will work 24/7 on shift basis for ensuring security of the spot and our work

place.

PART 2: THE MARKETING PLAN

A. Overview and goal of marketing strategyThere are some holiday resorts in our country and some of them are providing luxurious and

lucrative services. Eco based tourist resort is a recent idea in Bangladesh. So here we have

lots of opportunities as we are also offering fully eco based tourist resort in Bangladesh with

natural and pure environment near the Kuakata at kolapara. Here the risk of natural calamity

is very high but we are providing safest recreational facility in that environment. Our

marketing policy will give a clear idea about the tourist site of our country. This will create a

good image of the tourist spot of Bangladesh in to the minds of foreign visitors as well as

visitors within country. By nature human beings enjoy adventure. We ensure to provide

adventurous environment with other facility which are really attractive in nature.

We have few competitors here but we know in near future we will be the market leader with

our quality service. One can pass a long time in our resort through various kinds of recreation

activities. Competition is not so intense in this sector and we have no other competitors near

to our location.

Here one can enjoy the nature, games, dance, sea cruising, accommodation etc. One can stay

for 2 or 3 days or can rent a house for monthly basis. It is totally pollution free area and you

have to reduce the use of artificial thing as our instructions. We will give you a feeling to

become a part of the nature you will feel like a bird here.

As the market trend of world are rising we are increasing our country standard up to the world

standard and hoping we will be able to attract the foreign tourists. A portion of the affluent

section of our country used to go to foreign countries but through our service we want to hold

them by serving the flavor of international standard.

Goal- To promote the natural beauty in order to upgrade our business standard up

to the international standard.

Competition and Competitors

Page 23: Blue Heaven Resort

We will face some sort of competition but we will pass them with our uniqueness. Our major

competitor will be some holiday resorts like Arunima country side & golf resort, Foy’s lake

resort, Jamuna resort, Zastat resort etc. Below there are some strengths and weaknesses they

posses.

■Strengths of The Blue Heaven Resort’s Competitors-

They are doing their business for a long time and they have created a

reputation in the minds of the people.

They have a huge agency to facilitate the tourists.

Their capital is high.

Among huge competitors some of the top positioned resorts are offering

different types of lucrative recreation facilities that are hard to imitate.

Convenient location facility.

Some are giving extra ordinarily convenient facilities transport facility.

Outdoor game facility.

Good promotional activities performed by some leading organizations in this

industry.

■Weaknesses of The Blue Heaven Resort’s Competitors- We have found some

competitors weaknesses which we can turn into our strengths.

Most of the resorts are offering undifferentiated marketing for all market

segments.

Most of the companies are giving poor effort to their promotional activities.

Because of less promotional activities in this sector Bangladeshi citizen don’t have

enough knowledge about the existence of this type of resorts here in Bangladesh.

So, they are going outside the country.

Almost all eco based resorts don’t have any sorts of protection for natural

calamity.

Though some resorts have their own transport facility, maximum companies are

not offering their own transport facilities to the customers.

Infrastructural support is not up to the mark.

Lack of safety & security

Vulnerable to natural calamity

Lacking in experience in serving foreigners

Lack of management and maintenance activity

No special packages for foreigners

Lack of communication (with agencies, airlines etc)

Among these competitors

Page 24: Blue Heaven Resort

Bay of Bengal Resort is our major competitor as this is also a beach resort and we will also

provide same type of service. The major strength of Bay of Bengal Resort is its renounce and

location. It is located beside Cox’s bazaar which place is always crowed by tourist and

visitors. But the types of services of Bay of Bengal Resort are not satisfactory.

Arunima country side & golf resort: Recently it got the 1st prize in holiday resort

competition. They have vast area and capital. Their offerings are too good. Their resort is for

multipurpose use. But the major weakness of Arunima is lies in their promotional campaign.

Their promotional activities are not up to the standard.

Padma resort: They get extra advantage for their location situating near the mighty river

padma. Their pricing is very cheap. They have good transport facility. But people loves nature

will not happy about their service as it has too much artificiality.

Other competitors are- Blue Marine resort, Coral Blue Resort, Foy's Lake Resort, Jamuna

Resort, Elenga Resort Ltd, PAKSHI Resort, Nilima Resort, Panigram Resort, Pacific

Resorts, Nil Digonte Resort, Resort Beach View, Saint Martin Resort, Nilgiri Resort, Silvia

Resort, S.H. Castle & Resorts.

Market Trends

■Industry Trends: Tourist industry is already a flourished industry in foreign

countries but in our country it is just a growing industry. The neighboring countries namely

India, Malaysia, Singapore etc are earning millions of dollars based on this industry. Since the

year 2000 tourists arriving in Bangladesh have been swelling in numbers. Tourists are visiting

our country and traveling places like Cox' Bazaar, Teknaf, the Sundarbans, Kuakata, Paharpur

and Tetulia. Not only is it international visitors but locals are also taking their holidays and

coming to Dhaka, Khulna and Chittagong. All these travelers require appropriate

accommodation and the demand in hotel beds and restaurants are now being met for every

taste and every budget. Many of the visitors are expatriate Bangladeshi coming to Bangladesh

not only to visit their families, but for a holiday and to experience the vibrant and culturally

rich country of their forbearers. Catering for all these people has seen an increase in the

demand for new hotels and restaurants in Dhaka and other tourist locations. Recently some

resorts have been established here. The most commonly known resorts are Jamuna Resort,

Padma resort, Arunima, Jastat, Pakshi etc. The concept of eco based tourism resort is quite

new idea in our country and we are pursuing this opportunity. We are affluent and potential

enough to explicit the natural resources of Bangladesh for which we are working for this

industry. Through this we will be able to enrich the tourism business in our country and thus

contribute to the economic welfare.

Financial Performance

This part shows the present financial condition of the tourism industry. Below there are data

Page 25: Blue Heaven Resort

about tourist arrivals in Bangladesh from 1991-2008 and a projection of the number of tourist

can come on 2010 and 2020 based on the current trend.

Table 6: Tourist Arrivals in Bangladesh

2006 397410 (+)16

2007 468951 (+18)

Average Growth Rate +9%

Source: Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC), 2009

The above table shows that the number of tourist arrivals in Bangladesh has increased to

397,410 in 2007 from 113,242 in 1991 which shows an average annual growth rate of 9

percent. The tourist arrivals increased in 2003 by 18 percent and 16 percent in 2007 over the

preceding year. In general, the statistics show a very good and positive trend. This rate can be

considered very high for those countries that have already matured in the market, but for a

new market entry, like Bangladesh, the above growth rate is not very impressive.

By using the above data the projected number of tourist arrivals for the year 2010 and

2020 can be calculated with the help of regression analysis where, the model:

y = mx + b

Page 26: Blue Heaven Resort

Here, x is independent variable (year) and y is dependent variable (total number of tourist

arrivals)

By interpreting and solving this we get the value m = 15268.69 and b = -30314883and then

the model stands as: y = 15268.69 (x) -30314883 and the projected tourist arrivals are

375,186 and 527,873 for the year 2010 and 2020 respectively subject to the present trend

remaining unchanged. The BPC forecast that Bangladesh will receive 0.9 million tourists in

2020 seems very unrealistic.

■Customer Trends: Here the customers are the tourists. People have not that much

of habit for traveling like western people during their holidays and vacations. But now this

trend is increasing and customer’s expectation regarding this industry is increasing.

In different times, we see people are going to Cox’s bazaar or hill tracts for spending time.

But those are very common place and the amenities to fulfill the expectation of the tourists

are not sufficient. Herein our business will provide the opportunity to spend quality time with

friends and family. We are offering world class facilities. Our packages are attractive and we

are also targeting the foreigners.

Tourist Arrivals: Foreign tourist arrivals in Bangladesh have been showing an upward trend

in the recent years. Total tourist arrival was more than two hundred thousand in 2001.

Statistics of the last five years are presented below:

the price changed, most appropriate channel and effective strategy. As we are going to start a

experts in the field. We obtained valuable information from two respectable persons
