Looking for partners to realize the idea of making new business in Bali
My name is Setiabudi from Jakarta, Indonesia.
I am in Bali right now and I'm looking for business partners from other countries.
I had the idea to create a new business in Bali is "PERSONAL ASSISTANT SERVICES" with Wrist Watch Device built in GPS and GSM (GPS Personal Tracker) for tourists who come to Bali.
More tourists come to Bali to enjoy the culture, nature and its people. Mostly they used the service of a travel agent where all of their activities were arranged by the travel agent until the most trivial matter that are driver, guide, transport and the Bali tours.
However many guests are keen to find and enjoy Bali more personally, they want to seek an adventure of their own without being arranged where to go but also did not want to lose the feeling of comfort travelling in Bali.
I had the idea to create a new service that is "PERSONAL ASSISTANT SERVICES" where there is a 24-hours staff duty who served as tour guides remotely and driving directions remotely through our equipment Personal GSM Tracker is a watch that can form 2-way communication between staff duty with tourist.
With our services they can go wherever they like and they are not afraid to stray and is not afraid
to stay at their location they visited. Because the services we can provide whatever it takes
tourists to their location for instance need a tent, need food, need a stove, need a bike, need a
bodyguard, need a doctor, need ambulance and others. all we can send to their location because
we know their position on a map via GPS Personal Tracker Built in GSM which used them.
if you're interested in working with our team and work together to make this business into a reality...
please email me at mr_ltf (at) yahoo.co.id . Because we will only form a small team had to start
this business.

Welcome to the forum. It is an interesting idea you have, but I wonder if you will get many people intrested in this. People only realize they need this kind of service after they have run into trouble.
The GPS equipment will be a little expensive to purchase initially. Maybe you could work with car rental agencies?
Also, many people have a GPS device built into their mobiles now and you can get maps for Bali, which people might think is enough.
Applications for the iPhone and Android are really hot right now, so if I was you, that is what I would be looking into right now - an interactive travel application for Bali. There are probably some applications done already, so you might need to think how to make yours better/different.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
thank you for your reply spicyayam...
Our plan of services was made with 2 services are basic services and additional services.
For basic services are as human guides, but was replaced with a wrist watch device built in GPS + GSM.
tourists can talk through this tool to the operator (Duty Officer) to ask what is this place or asked where I am or want to go to a destination better through which the road. Because the operators know where they are, operator can see the computer screen. On the screen there appears a map and coordinates of the point where tourists are now a realtime.
so these basic services instead of human tour guide with a lower cost because they do not have to be given lunch. cost is calculated daily or weekly and that means it is not sold to tourists but but only lent by deposit guarantee. Not all tourists have a mobile phone built in gps so if tourists want to rent our equipment so he's like having a companion who could be asked at any time 24 hours.
Then in addition to basic services were no additional services such as send meals, send tents, send ambulances and other to tourist locations are at additional costs at that moment.
for examples, tourists were now in Uluwatu beach. he's hungry and eager to eat hot dogs. just call our operators and hotdogs come to uluwatu beach. he likes the beach Uluwatu and plan to stay and need of tents, stoves, meat, sleeping bag, and also bodyguard. just call our operators and everything will be delivered by our team with a separate fee for delivery, buy meat and rental equipment
This all sounds very complicated to me, and very expensive
no complicated for our team and tourists also pay only the basic services only (eg $ 25 / week for basic sevices). while for the additional services are paid only when needed.Originally Posted by goldminer

Its the additional services that i mean will be expensive.
for your reference that we currently have a car tracking services. you can see in :: Lacak GPS Tracking :: for this business we were also looking for resellers in other countries with cheaper monthly fees for users.
It will only work if they are able to order free drinks and bar girls - that's the age of the teckies you are after and that are at all likely to be interested in your service.
I can see it now - a bunch of lost Bule wandering around the island looking like dickless tracy with a fecking great armband on that's screaming at them in a mixture of Balinese and English.
Sorry but I would recommend you go back to the drawing board - they always say the first million is the hardest - that's why I started with the second lol
I think that came to Bali not all speak English and humans have different desires. comfortable for you is not necessarily comfortable by other people. easier for you not necessarily easy for other people. expensive for you is not necessarily expensive by other people.
so we hope they feel more secure and comfortable if they use our services. for that we should have specific target markets and conduct different marketing

Setiabudi, this sounds to me like a great idea and if I were a tourist in Bali it is something I would consider using if the price were right. But first I would have to know about it. Marketing and advertising will have a huge impact on the success of your project. It would be great if you could get hotels to recommend your service and hand out brochures to customers. An eye-catching product stand at the airport or a big poster describing your service would also be helpful.
As a tourist, after realizing the service exists, next I'd want the big question answered. WIIFM? What's In It For Me? In all your advertising your focus needs to be "you" oriented and by that I mean focusing on the prospective customer and how you can solve his problems.
If I had a Dick Tracy watch on my wrist I'd think it was so cool I'd be showing it off to everyone.
