Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Panorama enters franchising business to boost sales

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Panorama enters franchising business to boost sales

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

To expand its business while curbing costs, Panorama Tours, a subsidiary of publicly listed tour and travel holding company PT Panorama Sentrawisata (Panorama Leisure), plans to enter the franchising business to tap into the market potential in the country's major cities.

Panorama Tours managing director Rama Tirtawisata said Friday that other travel agents, especially those outside Jakarta, could use the company's brand Panorama World under franchising arrangements.

"This opportunity will also help travel agents thrive in the industry by leveraging our well-known reputation without them having to struggle on their own, which is not easy," he told The Jakarta Post.

According to Rama, the company's decision to venture into franchising was part of its business expansion plan while exploring a potentially rich, untapped market.

"We are aware that there are many cities across the archipelago with a lot of market potential that we have yet to tap into, particularly after the introduction of regional autonomy, which has spurred economic growth in some regions," he said.

Panorama Tours currently controls between 5 and 8 percent of Indonesia's travel market involving at least 150 tour operators, and the company expects to raise its market share to 20 percent next year, with the franchising plan.

"With this franchising venture, Panorama Tours hopes there will be a 30 increase in growth in the company's sales," Rama said, adding that the company hoped to have 20 franchise outlets by the end of this year and a total of 100 outlets within the next three years.

The Panorama World franchise, he said, would cover all the travel packages sold by the Panorama group of companies, including the Oasis Hotel in Bali and Caldera Indonesia Outbound Travel.

"Our business partners will also benefit from training and education programs from our Panorama Academy, which is part of the franchise deal," Rama said.

Meanwhile, Panorama Leisure, the holding company, reported a 26 percent increase in revenue to Rp 810 billion during the January to September period from Rp 641 billion during the same period last year.

This increase resulted in a 250 percent hike in net profit to Rp 7.8 billion from Rp 2.2 billion. Panorama Leisure's consolidated sales are expected to exceed Rp 1.2 trillion this year. (amr)
