Rare Opportunity: D-Day Tour Company For Sale

DUXFORD, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 04: American period parachutists pose for a photograph on June 4, 2019 at IWM Duxford, Cambridgeshire, England. The museum hosts the greatest number of Douglas C-47 Skytrain aircraft in one location since the Second World War. "Daks Over Duxford" takes place over the two days, descending on 4 and 5 June. More than 30 Dakotas – the aircraft synonymous with the D-Day Landings – will fly over IWM Duxford as well as mass parachute jumps and flight displays also taking place.

For sale is an established and highly respected battlefield tour business specialising in the D-Day landings and the Battle for Normandy.

Normandy Tour Company

Having operated for over a decade, and in that time having achieved a strong marketing presence attracting a predominantly North American clientele, the business currently operates only in peak season.

However, with current turnover deliberately kept at a level just below the current UK VAT threshold of £85,000 per annum (this is currently achieved with an individual guide working a maximum of between 75 to 85 touring days per year), with demand for tours far exceeding the current will to supply, there is much potential to generate a far greater revenue.
