Demand is entirely seasonal and tourist-heavy, with searches also arriving in English and Russian. Buyers ask about certification bodies and instructor credentials. Hotel and tour operator partnerships are the backbone of occupancy.
No ad budget is needed at this stage; time spent matters more than money spent. Setting the profile up is a single day of work, but building a steady flow of reviews takes months and cannot be outsourced, since asking customers for a review is the owner's own job. Ads come up only once capacity fills, and usually for one service.
