CHAPTER 1: PROJECT SUMMARY
1.A. Name of Project
The group chose the name “PICTOUR SAFARI” which stands for PICTURE, TOURISM and SAFARI primary because our business concept involves the taking of pictures of customers with background of famous tourist spots and with them holding wild as well as domesticated animals. The first word PICTOUR is derived from two words, PIC is from the word picture which means a visual representation of a thing or other term for photograph which will be the main product of the business, while TOUR itself meaning to travel around or to travel in various places of interest for business, leisure or other purposes. The second word SAFARI which is a word to describe a trip to observe and take photographs of animals and wildlife, which gave the business the concept and distinction from competitors. However, in order to shorten and compress the three words PICTURE, TOURISM and SAFARI, the group invented the business name “PICTOUR SAFARI”. In the vernacular, the business name “PICTOUR SAFARI” is translated as “Larawan ng mga magagandang lugar pangturismo sa kagubatan kasama ang mga ibat ibang hayop”.
LOGO
LOGO DESCRIPTION
PICTOUR SAFARI 's logo represents: first: the main animal attractions that our business offers. Visitors can feel themselves on a safari adventure. Second, the person in the middle of the logo caters to the center target of our market, which are the customers whether children or adults. Third, the inverted triangle with leaves represents that both the animals inside and the people are bounded together with our business. Not only will the people benefit from our business but also the environment, because our company would like to increase environmental awareness and protection amongst us. And through us, we market these important points to our customers. Buy touching or being near these animals, they will have the sense of responsibility to protect the animals and the environment not only for the present but also for future generations to come. Lastly, the camera will be the instrument that will produce a souvenir type product that our business will offer to its clients/customers.

1.B Location
Location
The business will be situated inside the campus in the vicinity of San Sebastian College- Recoletos, which can be found along Claro M. Recto Avenue in the City of Manila. The business will be across the College Bookstore in the Arcade of the College Building. The College Arcade is a perfect location for the PICTOUR SAFARI because it is near to offices and places within the school community which is frequently visited by many individuals that may be possible costumers. The raw materials that the business will need may come from different bookstores and hardware stores. While the live animals and some of the equipments that will be used in the business operation are from Sponsors. Since the business will be situated inside the Campus, it will be accessible to interested individuals, most specially members of the school community. The cost of the rent for the space of the business is four hundred Pesos (Php. 400.00). The space which the business will be situated is accessible, visible and spacious enough to use by businesses like PICTOUR SAFARI. The group opted to choose two locations where they will set up their business establishment. One is to be located inside the campus of the San Sebastian College Recoletos Manila particularly College Arcade near the bookstore and cashier while the second branch will be near the Padre Faura Center Building M. H. Del Pilar Street corner Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila. In choosing these locations, the group considered the following points: a. Sources of Raw Materials: The sources of raw materials and pieces of equipment to be used in the running of the business abound in and around the locations of the proposed business establishments such as but not limited to the following: a.1. Tarpaulins; a.2. Cameras SLR; a.3. Laptop and Printer; a.4. Photopaper; a.5. Animals; a.6. Costumes and Props; b. Proximity to the Market: Both locations are teeming with potential customers. However, inside the campus of the San Sebastian College - Recoletos Manila, the human traffic is limited to students and members of the faculty and probably parents of students; c. Availability of Transportation: The group main location or branch is to be found inside the campus of the San Sebastian College Recoletos Manila. It is therefore located at Claro M. Recto Street in between Legarda and San Sebastian Streets in Quiapo Manila. It is very accessible to all kinds of transportation. It is located in the heart of the University Belt and swarming with human as well vehicular traffic. On the other hand, M. H. Del Pilar Street and Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila is in the heart of the Tourist Belt of the City of Manila. Local as well as foreign tourists abound in the said vicinity. It is also very accessible to all kinds of transportation.
d. Cost of Land or Building: The rental of a stall inside the campus of the San Sebastian College Recoletos is around one hundred pesos per booth per day. Since the business establishment needs around thirty square meter of land area, the total costs of rental is around two hundred pesos per day for the rental of two booths. On the other hand, the rental cost for a similar area near or within the vicinity of M. H. Del Pilar Street and Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila is fifteen thousand a month.;
e. Physical Characteristic of the Place: The makeshift stall that the group is planning to set up is made of tent like structure supported by aluminum metal posts with canvass coverings measuring six meter by five meter and about ten meter high. On the other hand, the branch located at M. H. Del Pilar Street and Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila is a studio type rectangular room which is part of a building with a comfort room.

Descriptive Definition: The group’s business project potential worth may run into millions as it is not capital and human intensive but profits are very predictable as costs and expenses are minimal. The potential customer in buying or trying the services that are being offered by PICTOUR SAFARI will definitely be satisfied. The benefits are that not only do the customer have a picture of himself with a background of a famous tourist spot in the Philippines but he can be photograph together with his favorite animals.

It usually portable and it uses the popularity of digital images and the love of people to take photos in different themes and the finished products used as souvenirs worth keeping. The group has come up with a business called “Pictour Safari”. It is a single unit establishment located at Padre Faura St. Ermita, Manila. The business is a photo booth style where we use safari theme that will serve photo enthusiast with a unique experience. Since the theme is Safari, the customers will experience close encounters to animals as if they are having a tour on a real Safari land that they don’t usually experienced in the urban community. “Pictour Safari” will be providing quality photo services that will create an unforgettable experience to the customer and will bring satisfaction. A Safari theme photo booth will give customers an experience of safari tour in an urban Community and will help them cherish moments each time they visit the business.
Testimonies
Doing a feasibility study isn’t that easy as anyone could think. As for a group, basically, it requires teamwork. This kind of project doesn’t only need the decision of one. Each member must consult one another to come up with a best decision for the whole group.
The proponents didn’t have much problem working as a group considering the fact that we are not all so close with one other. We were able to practice teamwork. We communicate and divide the tasks among ourselves. These made us realize that we can finish on time as long as we help one another.
The entire process of accomplishing this business proposal was like a journey to us. We have experienced waking up in the morning thinking on what to do next for our proposed business plan, consecutive days of not having enough sleep, being almost regularly present at the computer shop for research and printing purposes, and even going to the library which some of us are not usually doing.
This project has taught us to be more responsible in preparation for our future. To a certain extent, we have enjoyed this whole experience because we had new friends and most importantly, we were able to gain knowledge regarding Business Planning and Tourism Entrepreneurship.

1.A. Name of Project
The group chose the name “PICTOUR SAFARI” which stands for PICTURE, TOURISM and SAFARI primary because our business concept involves the taking of pictures of customers with background of famous tourist spots and with them holding wild as well as domesticated animals. The first word PICTOUR is derived from two words, PIC is from the word picture which means a visual representation of a thing or other term for photograph which will be the main product of the business, while TOUR itself meaning to travel around or to travel in various places of interest for business, leisure or other purposes. The second word SAFARI which is a word to describe a trip to observe and take photographs of animals and wildlife, which gave the business the concept and distinction from competitors. However, in order to shorten and compress the three words PICTURE, TOURISM and SAFARI, the group invented the business name “PICTOUR SAFARI”. In the vernacular, the business name “PICTOUR SAFARI” is translated as “Larawan ng mga magagandang lugar pangturismo sa kagubatan kasama ang mga ibat ibang hayop”.
LOGO
LOGO DESCRIPTION
PICTOUR SAFARI 's logo represents: first: the main animal attractions that our business offers. Visitors can feel themselves on a safari adventure. Second, the person in the middle of the logo caters to the center target of our market, which are the customers whether children or adults. Third, the inverted triangle with leaves represents that both the animals inside and the people are bounded together with our business. Not only will the people benefit from our business but also the environment, because our company would like to increase environmental awareness and protection amongst us. And through us, we market these important points to our customers. Buy touching or being near these animals, they will have the sense of responsibility to protect the animals and the environment not only for the present but also for future generations to come. Lastly, the camera will be the instrument that will produce a souvenir type product that our business will offer to its clients/customers. We will render photo souvenirs to customers which will include them and the animal of their choice.
1.B Location
Location
The business will be situated inside the campus in the vicinity of San Sebastian College- Recoletos, which can be found along Claro M. Recto Avenue in the City of Manila. The business will be across the College Bookstore in the Arcade of the College Building. The College Arcade is a perfect location for the PICTOUR SAFARI because it is near to offices and places within the school community which is frequently visited by many individuals that may be possible costumers. The raw materials that the business will need may come from different bookstores and hardware stores. While the live animals and some of the equipments that will be used in the business operation are from Sponsors. Since the business will be situated inside the Campus, it will be accessible to interested individuals, most specially members of the school community. The cost of the rent for the space of the business is four hundred Pesos (Php. 400.00). The space which the business will be situated is accessible, visible and spacious enough to use by businesses like PICTOUR SAFARI. The group opted to choose two locations where they will set up their business establishment. One is to be located inside the campus of the San Sebastian College Recoletos Manila particularly College Arcade near the bookstore and cashier while the second branch will be near the Padre Faura Center Building M. H. Del Pilar Street corner Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila. In choosing these locations, the group considered the following points: a. Sources of Raw Materials: The sources of raw materials and pieces of equipment to be used in the running of the business abound in and around the locations of the proposed business establishments such as but not limited to the following: a.1. Tarpaulins; a.2. Cameras SLR; a.3. Laptop and Printer; a.4. Photopaper; a.5. Animals; a.6. Costumes and Props; b. Proximity to the Market: Both locations are teeming with potential customers. However, inside the campus of the San Sebastian College - Recoletos Manila, the human traffic is limited to students and members of the faculty and probably parents of students; c. Availability of Transportation: The group main location or branch is to be found inside the campus of the San Sebastian College Recoletos Manila. It is therefore located at Claro M. Recto Street in between Legarda and San Sebastian Streets in Quiapo Manila. It is very accessible to all kinds of transportation. It is located in the heart of the University Belt and swarming with human as well vehicular traffic. On the other hand, M. H. Del Pilar Street and Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila is in the heart of the Tourist Belt of the City of Manila. Local as well as foreign tourists abound in the said vicinity. It is also very accessible to all kinds of transportation.
d. Cost of Land or Building: The rental of a stall inside the campus of the San Sebastian College Recoletos is around one hundred pesos per booth per day. Since the business establishment needs around thirty square meter of land area, the total costs of rental is around two hundred pesos per day for the rental of two booths. On the other hand, the rental cost for a similar area near or within the vicinity of M. H. Del Pilar Street and Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila is fifteen thousand a month.;
e. Physical Characteristic of the Place: The makeshift stall that the group is planning to set up is made of tent like structure supported by aluminum metal posts with canvass coverings measuring six meter by five meter and about ten meter high. On the other hand, the branch located at M. H. Del Pilar Street and Padre Faura Street in Ermita Manila is a studio type rectangular room which is part of a building with a comfort room. The photograph of the place located inside the campus of the San Sebastian College Recoletos Manila is herein below attached:

FLOOR PLAN PERSPECTIVE 1.C. Descriptive Definition: The group’s business project potential worth may run into millions as it is not capital and human intensive but profits are very predictable as costs and expenses are minimal. The potential customer in buying or trying the services that are being offered by PICTOUR SAFARI will definitely be satisfied. The benefits are that not only do the customer have a picture of himself with a background of a famous tourist spot in the Philippines but he can be photograph together with his favorite animals. It is cost effective because the customer need not travel to the tourist spot he likes but instead have his pictures taken as if he is already there in that travel destination. The group that conceptualized the forgoing business plan are composed of the following members: ➢ Barles, Revine Carla ➢ Bernal, Lyn-Lyn ➢ Celmar, Ana Leighmar ➢ Hernandez, Michelle ➢ Pacis, Joana Armina ➢ Purisima, Janile Yves Vision The vision of the group as regards its business “ PICTOUR SAFARI” is that it will become a leader in providing photographic services which is not only top in quality but also cheap in price.
Mission The mission of the group in running this business establishment is to provide quality pictures that promote the tourist spots of the world and animals. 1. D. Objectives a. Short Term Objectives The group envisions the setting up of two branches the first of which is the booth located inside the campus of San Sebastian College - Recoletos Manila. If later on profits are realize and generated by this initial venture, then the establishment of the second branch will soon follow within a period of two to five years.
b. Long Term Objectives Again, after five years if profits are obtained with predictable regularity from these two branches, then the establishment of more branches shall be the trend for the next five years.
CHAPTER 2: MARKET FEASIBILITY

The resultant pictures of our clients and customers definitely will be used by them us souvenirs or even gift items.

2.C. Promotion Strategy In order to promote the company and its products, the group intends to use several marketing and advertising methods. First and foremost is the simple technique of handling out of flyers and brochures. We intended that the flyers contain the basic information about our company, services and our products, while brochures are intended to contain more structural and detailed information about the service and products that we provide our customers. Aside from handling out flyers and brochures, the company will also put up a website using the internet to further advertise “PICTOUR SAFARI”. It will use social networking to be known in electronic commerce. Here, we can obtain more comments and suggestions for the betterment of our service. We will also post posters within the vicinity of our business establishment so that residents, tourists, and other people will be informed about a newly established company within their area.

Introduction
Introduction
The field of photography has produced much kind of businesses. Most of the businesses produced by this field have reached success due to its popularity and it’s continues improvement of quality of photos it produced with the help of the modern technology. Nowadays photography related businesses vary in their styles of presenting their theme and their products to attract their customers. One type of business that the field of photography has produced is the modern photobooth. A photo booth is a small room which you’ll enter and have your photograph taken by a machine, but nowadays it has been given a new touch of modernity. Modern Photo booth is built with different theme that will suites every customer’s preference. It usually portable and it uses the popularity of digital images and the love of people to take photos in different themes and the finished products used as souvenirs worth keeping. The group has come up with a business called “Pictour Safari”. It is a single unit establishment located at Padre Faura St. Ermita, Manila. The business is a photo booth style where we use safari theme that will serve photo enthusiast with a unique experience. Since the theme is Safari, the customers will experience close encounters to animals as if they are having a tour on a real Safari land that they don’t usually experienced in the urban community. “Pictour Safari” will be providing quality photo services that will create an unforgettable experience to the customer and will bring satisfaction. A Safari theme photo booth will give customers an experience of safari tour in an urban Community and will help them cherish moments each time they visit the business.
Testimonies
Doing a feasibility study isn’t that easy as anyone could think. As for a group, basically, it requires teamwork. This kind of project doesn’t only need the decision of one. Each member must consult one another to come up with a best decision for the whole group.
The proponents didn’t have much problem working as a group considering the fact that we are not all so close with one other. We were able to practice teamwork. We communicate and divide the tasks among ourselves. These made us realize that we can finish on time as long as we help one another.
The entire process of accomplishing this business proposal was like a journey to us. We have experienced waking up in the morning thinking on what to do next for our proposed business plan, consecutive days of not having enough sleep, being almost regularly present at the computer shop for research and printing purposes, and even going to the library which some of us are not usually doing.
This project has taught us to be more responsible in preparation for our future. To a certain extent, we have enjoyed this whole experience because we had new friends and most importantly, we were able to gain knowledge regarding Business Planning and Tourism Entrepreneurship.
