If you’re the kind of person who loves to travel—and you’re relatively organized—then chances are you have what it takes to develop tours for fun and profit.
Benefits of Creating Tours for Fun
Your travel costs are covered. You get to take trips to places you love or have always wanted to go, and you get paid to share the experience with other folks who share your interests.
What’s more, you could make an extra $3,000 to $10,000 for your “trouble.”
Finding Your Niche
Bicycling Spain, Belgian Beer Festivals, Thai Songkran (New Year), Vietnamese Cuisine, Medical Tourism—anything can be a travel topic when you realize you don’t have to find huge numbers of people with the same interests.
Cynthia Morris, the creator of our program, runs tours to France that focus on cultural experiences. She says, “When I first came up with the idea of creating niche tours, all I really wanted was someone to pay me to go back to France every year.
“I imagined I’d create my own tour for fun. If all it ever did for me was bring in enough money to pay for my trip, I’d be a happy camper.
“But as it turns out, my first tour not only paid for my trip to France that year, but I had enough money left over to extend my stay for 2 weeks AND buy myself a brand new Macintosh laptop.
“Since then, I’ve been addicted to the fun money. I profit between $3,000 and $10,000 on every tour—depending on where I want to go and what I want to do there.”

“Now, I find it very easy to put these adventures together … I love every minute of it!
And I’ve been able to afford to travel to many places I otherwise wouldn’t have, due to the cost of travel.
Just some of the wonderful places I’ve traveled to are Costa Rica … Malta, Capri, Tulum in Mexico … Wales … California … Turkey … and I have repeat customers now, which is wonderful!”
–Jacqueline Douglas (on using Leading Tours for Fun and Profit)

I can’t think of a more fun way to travel than to travel with your best friends.
If this is something that you want to do, just give it a try. Tour operators will help you if you’re not in the travel industry. They’ll do fliers for you, they’ll send out CDs, they want you to be successful too.

“Cynthia Morris suggests using her program like a mini-coaching session, which I did, and it paid off for me. In fact, all of her tips were extremely valuable in planning my Italian Sampler.”
