BB Bоаt Tоurs wаs set up 15 yeаrs agо as a partnership between three brothers, Abdul, Bruce and Carlos. The business owns three boats and it takes tourists for day boat trips out to sea. The business offers three types of trips: • to look at the dolphins and other sea life (used mainly by foreign tourists) • to go fishing with skilled local fishermen (used mainly by local tourists) • to go diving with qualified diving instructors (used mainly by foreign tourists). All the boats owned by the business are of good quality. Food and drinks are provided for the tourists throughout the day. The business grew rapidly and made good profits, with the boats usually fully booked. However, last year the business made a loss as the boats were only half full each day. The problem for the brothers is that they do not have much money and are thinking of selling one of the boats. Carlos says: ‘We need to offer only two types of boat trips so we can reduce expenses’. Abdul thinks they should make some of their employees redundant. They need different skilled employees for each type of trip and he thinks they employ too many people. The foreign tourists come mainly from the European Union where the euro is the currency used. BB Boat Tours buys most of its boats and equipment from countries in the European Union. The local currency has been depreciating against the euro.
