Believe it or not I have an Asc. degree in this. I once thought about opening my own guest house - hence the study. In any case, there is lots of money to be made in tourism, especially when you are in a country which exchanges US dollars at the rate of 6 to 1. This means when you make your money you get it times 6! You must be a people's persona and good at business. Just simply making a bed and having a nice room is not enough, you have to woo the customer to you using marketing and other strategies. the money you make will be based on the size of your offering and season.
