Professional Experience Tours

A business model centered around creating experience-based tours led by retired professionals (particularly law enforcement), leveraging their unique experiences and insider knowledge to create compelling tourist experiences.

Core Concept

• Retired professionals (especially cops) lead authentic, experience-based tours
• Current example: NYC Crime Walk by retired NYPD officer
  • Charges $120-130 per person
  • Has served 8,000 guests
  • Generated approximately $1 million in revenue

Expansion Opportunities

• Extend to other professional backgrounds:
  • SWAT officers
  • Military veterans
  • Firefighters
  • Any profession with interesting "behind-the-scenes" appeal

Additional Applications

• Factory tours
• Warehouse operations tours
• Police station tours
• Firefighter station tours
• Brewery tours (existing successful model)

Value Proposition

• Provides authentic experiences from real professionals
• Appeals to people wanting safe exposure to "adventure"
• Creates additional revenue streams for facilities/venues
• Offers retired professionals new income opportunities
• Satisfies public curiosity about "behind-the-scenes" operations

The model works because it combines authentic expertise with public curiosity about specialized professions and operations, while creating value for both the tour guides and the venues involved.
