Summary

This video guides viewers on how to calculate the costs for a domestic tour package, focusing on the distinction between fixed and variable costs. It covers the process of assigning a code, determining the number of participants, and calculating both transport, guide fees, meals, and miscellaneous expenses. The video also explains how to determine the price per person, add profit margins, and calculate commissions for agents. Lastly, it introduces how to calculate the break-even point to ensure no losses in case of fewer participants. The aim is to help travel agents price packages effectively and efficiently.

Takeaways

• 😀 Calculate the cost of a domestic travel package by breaking it down into fixed and variable costs.
• 😀 Fixed costs, like transportation and guide fees, remain the same regardless of the number of participants.
• 😀 Variable costs, such as meals and water, change based on the number of participants.
• 😀 Assign a unique code to each tour package for easier tracking and reuse.
• 😀 Total fixed costs should be divided by the number of participants to determine the fixed cost per person.
• 😀 Total variable costs should be multiplied by the number of participants to determine the variable cost per person.
• 😀 Add the fixed and variable costs per person to calculate the total cost per person.
• 😀 Set a desired profit margin (e.g., 15%) and add this to the total cost per person for your selling price.
• 😀 Consider providing commissions (e.g., 10%) to agents or partners helping to sell the tour packages.
• 😀 Break-even point calculation is crucial to determine the minimum number of participants needed to cover costs.
• 😀 If the break-even point is not reached, the pricing strategy may need adjustment to avoid losses.

Q & A

What are the two main types of costs in calculating a tour package?

The two main types of costs are fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs do not change regardless of the number of participants, while variable costs change depending on the number of participants.

What is an example of a fixed cost in a tour package?

An example of a fixed cost is the bus rental. The cost remains the same whether there are 10 or 25 participants.

How are variable costs different from fixed costs?

Variable costs change based on the number of participants. For example, the cost of meals, snacks, and bottled water increases with the number of people in the tour group.

Why is it important to assign a code or name to a tour package?

Assigning a code or name to a tour package helps streamline future bookings and calculations. It allows the travel agent to use the same code when offering similar packages again, saving time and effort.

What is the role of a guide fee in the cost breakdown?

The guide fee is a fixed cost, which is paid to the local tour guide. The fee remains the same regardless of the number of participants, although it may vary depending on the language of the guide (e.g., English, Japanese).

How do you calculate the total cost per person in a tour package?

To calculate the total cost per person, divide the total fixed cost by the number of participants and then add the variable costs per person (like meals, snacks, and bottled water).

How can a travel agent determine their selling price for a tour package?

A travel agent can determine the selling price by calculating the total cost per person (fixed and variable costs), then adding a desired profit margin, such as 15%. This gives the final selling price.

What is the break-even point, and why is it important for a travel agent?

The break-even point is the number of participants needed to cover all costs without making a profit or incurring a loss. It is important for travel agents to know this so they can determine how many participants are required to ensure the business remains financially viable.

How is the commission for sales agents calculated in a tour package business?

Sales agents receive a commission based on the selling price of the tour package. For example, if the selling price is Rp 368,000 and the commission rate is 10%, the agent would earn Rp 36,800 for each sale.

What is the significance of calculating both fixed and variable costs in pricing a tour package?

Calculating both fixed and variable costs ensures that the travel agent prices the tour package accurately to cover all expenses and make a profit. Fixed costs provide the baseline, while variable costs account for the number of participants, allowing the agent to adjust pricing as necessary.
