My years in Rural Tourism, give me the opportunity to comment on some guidelines that might be interesting to start a business in this sector in Asturias:
1: The idea: first of all, decide what type of business you have and where in Asturias you want to locate: remember that there are areas such as the Picos de Europa, which are highly attractive in Spain. Also keep in mind if you want to mount a full rental house, rooms or a rural hotel (they are about profitability ratios over). Remember that the target audience is who will make your business profitable.
2: Documents: You must keep in mind that the subsidies in Asturias, are varied: The Idepa, the Ministry of Tourism, El Cetyc and other organizations will offer you grants anuales.Tambien is fair comment that every day more than the investment accorded to the creation of employment. Please note if you apply for mortgage, the% they give you, and how old you request, plus request time cadence, which will make you travel in this business more tranquil.
3: Who I am and where I go: You must be clear whether you are a professional in general, but what are in excess and what is your goal. Every day more is required and that rural tourism should be taken into cuenta.La acquisition of brands such as villages and the Q for Quality, support your business. Also dealing with the client, dealing with government, environmental compliance, ultimately, the daily management of the business.
4: Respect where you place your home, and coexistence with neighbors. Remember that they live there for many years, and you get to his people, thus living together is very important.
5: Use a website vistosa.No abuse the flash, but does not prevent your customers no longer see the beauty that is Asturias, through good photographs. Do not stop investing in this section a significant amount.
6: The decoration is a huge part. Our customers say our houses are as if in their own casa.Sabes why?: Because it has many family pictures, landscapes, many lamps, many decorative objects, a library card, and many details that make familiar.Al final the customer wants something different.
7: If a home room, looks much the desayunos.El feed-back to the customer at the time, is a good calling card.
8: Be sure to tell the story of the house. All customers will like to know who lived there before they arrived.
9: Arrange the environment. Is as important as the house itself. When a customer leaves your house, the continuity of it is the environment itself, and this view does not forgive.
10: Make all your suppliers are integrated into your business that works live as your business. That will make you feel part of it
11: Make sure you have a wealth of information in homes on restaurants, museums. The rural tourism is very familiar and will be guided by your advice.
12: Do not shed brochures, cards, etc. Please note that the Internet is the best ally of rural tourism.
Rural tourism is becoming more demanding, and this demand with yourself, is perceived by customers as a value added
