Victoria Falls has many possible ventures to get into and as a company TouriZIM Ekaya and Victoria Falls 365 decided to compile for you some ideas of business projects worth investing in and an estimate of the starting costs. Feel free to engage our consultancies to help get you started if interested.
Crossfit
Setting up a fitness centre or obstacle course would attract the fitness fanatics to the town. The interesting thing is that you could also invite tournaments based in the tourist town and you do not require much space to set it up.
up to$250,000 startup costs
Farm to table
In this new world where people worry about what they eat or wanting to learn how their food is cooked. It is awesome to setup a farm to table restaurant where people can also pick up produce for their holiday rentals. The picking of produce in itself becomes an activity.
up to $300,000 startup costs
Paint Ball
Who doesn’t love the idea of shooting your friends in the face. A paintball circuit does not need much space and this is a great activity for families, group activities and for experts like guides to do demonstrations of how they would fight poachers.
up to $100,000 startup costs
Rural Homesteads
In Victoria Falls the ekaya project seeks to turn a rural community into a cultural experience. People can book to do lobola negotiations, team building exercises using old knowledge and activities. Food experiences and much much more
up to $1,000,000 startup costs
Village Made
there is a huge market for artisanal food and products. Imagine village made goat cheese being sold in the shops or Village Made bacon and cured meats.
up to $500,000 startup costs
Microbrewery
It is very important for visitors to understand the brewing hospitality of a people. Imagine being part of the 7 Days process or a registered community that will introduce you to the various spirits made in a community. Brazil as Cachaca which is pronounced Kachasu.
up to $1,000,000 startup costs
Green Public Transport
I would imagine the first players to invest in public transportation in Victoria Falls would certainly have struck gold. Setup advertising in the bus stops. Register the passengers as they embark. Dedicated solar charging stations for Electric Cars Motorised Bikes and cellphones is desperately needed in the falls.
up to $10,000,000 startup costs
Rooftop Greenspaces
Victoria Falls is running our of green spaces for people to sit drink and chill in the city. Having rooftop spaces would give people a stationary cruise type situation and benefit from a market of people who just need a place to chill out thats nice and green.
up to $800,000 startup costs
Night Market
Street food is growing so much world over and in Zimbabwe remains largely illegal because individual operators try to apply for food vending licenses. The scenario requires a fair bit of lobbying and inclusion of Govt, Local Authorities and positioned to be a tourist destination. Investment would be in infrastructure then offer the chefs a place to cook and produce.
up to $500,000 startup costs
Water Park
Victoria Falls is a very hot town with very few places to spend the day. A water park with restaurants pools, sprinklers could certainly save a number of families from having to hop along the town looking for family friendly spaces to enjoy yourself. The facility would only need to be the size of a football field.
up to $1,000,000 startup costs
