1. Executive Summary

a. Lighthouse Adventure Club is a premium outdoor adventure and sports centre located in Pulau
Pangkil, Riau Province, Indonesia. It is situated 70 kilometers away from Singapore. In essence, it
is an outdoor playground for those who are seeking for thrill, challenge or simple family-bonding
time.
b. Lighthouse Adventure Club is an integrated adventure park where outdoor sports lovers can enjoy
high-quality sports facilities that is unlike any other parks or campsites in Singapore, Bintan or
Batam.
c. These sports facilities and infrastructure will be exclusively designed by existing successful
sports operators in Singapore. For example, our paintball zone will be designed by our paintball
partner, Red Dynasty Paintball. Red Dynasty Paintball have been in the Singapore paintball
industry for several years, and they have been successful in their business. With their expertise,
coupled with management and market knowledge, they will be able to provide Lighthouse
Adventure Club with the sure-fire operational capabilities and the market appeal. These strategic
partnerships with the different existing business owners will see Lighthouse Adventure Club as a
ready-made outdoor adventure and sports park that will capture the market earlier and faster, as
they add immediate prestige, credential, and reputation to the adventure club.
d. There are an extensive range of sports and outdoor adventure activities that we are able to offer to
our clients and guests. In this integrated sports park, our guests will be able to immerse
themselves in a rugged, yet safe, environment to experience different activities, from rock-
climbing to scuba-diving. We will also conduct outdoor adventure tour programs will cater to
both the entry-level as well as the most avid adventurers.
e. We offer an immersive and hands-on experience for our guests, from land expeditions to sea-
explorations, by providing the quality in infrastructure and expertise in our team of trainers and
guides. We will also provide simple beach-front accommodation at the centre, where guests can
look forward to their well-deserved rest after experiencing a long day of exhilarating activities.
f. Our target audience will be adult adventurers, students, families and corporate groups, with a
target age of 7-35 years old.
g. Located in between Batam and Bintan, we are targeting the tourists visiting the region – a realistic
estimation of 2.2 million potential customers for Lighthouse Adventure Club. That equates to a
total dollar volume of 2 billion dollars in the Riau tourism industry.
h. This product is conceived from the fact that despite having many luxury accommodation in
Bintan and Batam, there are few alternatives in outdoor entertainment and leisure sports venues in
close proximity for the visitors, especially the active adults and the families with young children.
i. With that in mind, Mr. Hidden and Mr. Hilmy Gozan, with a prior collective experience of 10
years being outdoor adventure facilitators and campsite managers, decided to start an adventure
park that will offer our guests a wholesome and dynamic experience.

j. The founders of the venture have legally procured the land in Pulau Pangkil and it is ready for
development. Preliminary talks with the various business owners to be partners of the adventure
club have already taken place.
k. The reason of setting this adventure park in Pulau Pangkil is to create a catchment of the Riau
tourism market. It is a rising market with high potential to grow in the next few years, as the
Indonesian government continues to develop Bintan as a tourism attraction. Because of the
increasing popularity of the region in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and South Korea, and the
significant dollar volume of the industry, it will potentially generate high returns for the investors
in this venture.
l. The management team believes that the market is ready for disruption now. This venture could
not be viable before because the region was not as popular a tourism destination as compared to
now. The Indonesian government has placed their focus in Bintan only recently, and they have
attracted high levels of foreign investment into the development of luxury resorts. With the
operation of the international airport in Bintan in 2015, it is predicted that Bintan and Batam will
be a prime tourism destination, attracting tourists by the millions.
m. With many of the resorts in Bintan and Batam being established and ready to expand the market
in years to come, Lighthouse Adventure Club is a complimentary attraction that can latch itself
onto the success of the tourism sector.
n. A long-term vision of this venture will be to replicate the successful model of the adventure park
to several other locations, developing an adventure park chain in developed tourism markets in
South-East Asia.
o. The purpose of this document is to inform any prospective investor(s) and business partner(s)
about the details of the venture concept, realistic financial projections of the project, and finally,
the capital costs involved in this venture.

 Low costs of labor and raw materials  Opening of International Airport in Bintan
 Strategic location – Accessible from Bintan Resorts in 2015
and Batam (Holiday destinations)  Free Trade Zone in Bintan
 Rich source of seafood
Weaknesses Threats
 Lack of reliable grid power on site – use  Limited administrative efficiency
private generators  No natural crisis control unit present on site
 Lack of proper sewage system
 Lack of potable water access

Potential weaknesses and threats Possible solutions/course of action


Lack of proper sewage system  Set up a simple drainage system to control the flow of
rain water during the monsoon season
 Build septic tanks in toilets for collection of human
waste
 Use waste bins for waste liquids and oils collection in
the restaurant for disposal at Tanjung Pinang
Lack of potable water access  Install small-scale water distillation and purification
plants for preparation of underground water
 Purchase barrels of drinking water from Tanjung Pinang
Limited administrative efficiency  Mr. Hilmy, the Executive Director, is an Indonesian and
he has a family business in Jakarta. Because he is a
local, there are fewer bureaucratic red tapes to overcome
as compared to a foreigner setting up a business in
Indonesia, saving significant time and money.
No natural crisis control unit  Set up a security ranger team to look after the centre
 Establish basic fire-fighting protocol in centre

region that offers a “one-stop” location where guests can enjoy a wide range of activities with high-
quality equipment.
Lighthouse Adventure Club aims to be a premium adventure centre. Why are we exclusive?
1. Excellent Location
 We are constructing a sea-front adventure centre in the region. This will allow us to
conduct activities on land and at sea conveniently.
 We are at a strategic location to receive guests from Singapore and tourists from Bintan
and Batam. By collaborations and partnerships with existing resorts, we can include their
guests for day programs. Singaporeans can also conveniently access our adventure centre
for a quick weekend trip to work out or unwind.
2. Premium Infrastructure
 Lighthouse Adventure Club is partnering up with various established outdoor sports
operators. With their expertise and experience, these operators will set up exclusive and
extensive sports facilities and equipment in the adventure centre. This will mean that all
the facilities our guests enjoy are of high quality in terms of entertainment and safety.
This will also mean that each facility in Lighthouse Adventure Club will be micro-
managed by proven successful managers.
3. Unique Methodology
 At Lighthouse Adventure Club, we believe in the benefits that adventure and sports can
bring to our clients. With that in mind, the methodology in our adventure programs is to
optimize and maximize these benefits within the shortest time possible.
 The methodology, together with a strict selection of trainers, will ensure the quality of
experience for our guests.
Why is our adventure centre set up in Pulau Pangkil, Indonesia?
1. Low Overhead Costs
 Land is relatively cheaper than in Singapore or Malaysia. With the same amount of
money, we are able to secure a bigger land space for our facilities. That will give us the
opportunity to create larger activity spaces for better entertainment and enjoyment.
 Manpower costs to hire Indonesian worker are significantly lower than similar
Singaporean workers or Malaysian workers (the wages of Indonesian workers are
between SGD150 – SGD400) thus it will be very economical for the centre.
2. High Profitability (derived from the highly positive tourism outlook for Bintan and Batam)
 High popularity for Bintan Resorts and Batam Resorts will drive tourism traffic to the
region. With extensive marketing and packaging, we will be able to tap into this traffic
for the benefit of the adventure centre.
 Without much entertainment at these resorts and hotels, Lighthouse Adventure Club will
add the element of adventure in the region, attracting these tourists for refreshing day
programs.

3.5 Market Segmentation

a. Our target clients are adventurers, corporate groups, schools and families from Asia
b. The operations of the international airport in Bintan Resorts will allow Bintan, Batam and the
surrounding holiday destinations to be more accessible for people from countries outside the
region.
c. However, given the centre’s close proximity to Singapore, we reasonably expect that majority of
our clients will be Singaporeans, as reflected by past tourism statistics.
d. Based on previous records and reasonable extrapolation to the near future, Lighthouse Adventure
Club can categorize these clients and guests into sub-groups, for better optimization of marketing
and sale strategies.
i. Singaporean Corporate Groups
Corporate groups seeking cohesion programs or company retreats are usually funded by
significant year-end budgets. Based on industry standards, the dollar size for company
retreats, cohesions and team-building programs are fairly large and can prove to be
lucrative if Lighthouse Adventure Club can tap into this group of existing clients in the
market. Groups including private companies, government organizations and military
cohesions will fall under this category.
ii. Singapore Guests
Due to high accessibility of the centre, we are able to attract Singaporeans who are
seeking a short weekend get-away. These guests, generally young adults, working adults
and families, will spend an approximated duration of 1 or 2 days at Lighthouse
Adventure Club. Adventurous and sporty individuals or groups can enjoy the wide range
of facilities and sports that the centre is able to offer. Families can also enjoy family
bonding time as they engage in activities together.
iii. Foreign Guests
A small but significant number of guests expected at the centre will be from around the
region. From Bintan Resorts’ records, Bintan is regularly visited by guests from
Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Japan. Also, it is noted that
these numbers are growing as Bintan is on the rise to become a premier holiday
destination in the region. We can expect that some foreign guests arriving from the
resorts in Bintan and Batam will also visit Lighthouse Adventure Club for a day trip, due
to the unique programs and activities it has to offer.
iv. Schools
The Ministry of Education Physical Education (MOE PE) syllabus 2014 requires all
government schools and their students to engage in outdoor education every year. The
MOE sets aside a large budget to subsidize the students in the outdoor courses, an effort
to encourage them to participate actively. With an estimation of 75,000 students every
year, this is a ready market with a sizable dollar volume.

Diagram 2: Proportion of Target Customers

e. In recent years, Bintan and Batam are frequented mainly by Singaporeans, seeking a short
weekend holiday nearby. The Balinese-style hotels and resorts, luxury designer golf courses, and
lure of the traditional Riau culture have attracted more than 400,000 tourists, families and
businessmen each year, with more than 30% of that number being Singaporeans.
f. We are targeting a fresh group of the market, aiming at the more active population. Our centre
will present itself as an active, dynamic and hyped-up weekend destination.
g. Therefore, we expect that 60% of our guests will be Singaporeans, who are becoming
increasingly affluent and willing to spend on a short getaway.
h. Our marketing and sales strategies will be tailored to suit these 4 groups of clients. Every dollar
put into marketing and PR will be directed at our main target audience so as to bring significant
Return of Investment (ROI) and positive public awareness of our centre.

5. Strategy and Implementation Summary

5.1 Pricing Strategy

Pricing is one of the most important factors that will contribute to the centre’s success. More studies and
research will be conducted in order to understand how our competitors price their products. This is crucial
in allowing us to price our products at a competitive yet profitable rate.
The pricing structure will be different for each of the aforementioned client groups.
a. Schools and Corporate Programs
i. For such business to business contracts, we will employ the cost-plus pricing strategy.
This strategy will allow the centre to maximize profits in the shortest time period and in
the most cost-efficient manner possible. It is also the simplest way to charge, and any
further price increase can easily be justified with cost increases.
ii. For corporate groups going through an event or program at Lighthouse Adventure Club,
they will pay an all-inclusive fee for the entire duration of their stay. This is inclusive of
all accommodation, food and beverage, and equipment or facility bookings costs.
iii. The fee will be a significant mark-up of the cost, to maximize profits for the centre.
b. Guests (Individuals)
i. For individual clients, we will employ the value-based pricing strategy.
ii. The value-based pricing strategy is better used in business-to-consumer market. It makes
use of the consumer’s perception of the value of the service or product rather than the
actual cost of the service or product.
iii. In the tourism market, consumers are less sensitive to price changes. The demand of this
adventure centre is price inelastic because the consumers are spending discretionary
income to enjoy a holiday. When there are few substitutes available, they will more likely
spend more to enhance their positive experience.
iv. This strategy can increase profits for the centre significantly due to its high prices,
without having any significant effects on the sales volume.
v. This strategy will allow Lighthouse Adventure Club to price competitively since
consumers will perceive the adventure centre as an exclusive venue, which is comparable
to the surrounding holiday destination.

5.2 Pricing Model

The table below shows the tentative pricing for the various programs.
Item Price (SGD)
Chalet (holds 4, price inclusive of all activities) $360-$420
Domestic Ferry Transfer $15/person
Average price of lunch set $10/person
Average price of seafood dinner $15/person
Single Adult Day Pass (Exclusive of meals and domestic ferry transfer) $90+
Single Junior Day Pass (Exclusive of meals and domestic ferry transfer) $40+
School Team-building Program (3D2N/4D3N) $280-$350/person
Wilderness Survival Program (3D2N) $250/person
Corporate Cohesion (Single-day/2D1N) $200-$350/person
Fitness Boot Camp (2D1N/3D2N) $250-$300/person
Youth Adventure Challenge (3D2N/4D3N) $400-$550/person

Pricing Scenarios:
1. Peter and 3 other friends wants to stay in the chalet at Lighthouse Adventure Club for
a night. They are entitled to 2 days of activity time. During the peak season, their
total expenditure for the 4 of them in 2 days will be: $420 (accommodation and
activities) + $200 (food) + $60 (domestic ferry) = $680 pre-taxes. That works out to
$170 per person for the 2-day trip.
2. The Tan family is having a vacation in one of the resorts in Bintan. They have
decided to spend one day at Lighthouse Adventure Club. Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan have
2 children, aged 13 and 15 respectively. For this 1-day trip, their total expenditure
will be $260 (day passes) + $100 (food) + $60 (domestic ferry) = $420 pre-taxes.
That works out to $105 per person for the 1-day trip.
3. David is a HR manager at ABC Private Limited. ABC Private Limited has 30
employees and the directors have tasked David to arrange a cohesion program for the
entire company. David has decided to set the cohesion at Lighthouse Adventure
Club. After booking and arranging with the management, they have agreed on a price
of $350 per person for a 2D1N trip. This program price is inclusive of 2 days full of
activities, travel guides to facilitate their experiences, food, 1 night stay at the chalets
and the domestic ferry. That works out to a total expenditure of $10,500 for all 30
employees.
4. National University of Singapore (NUS) Outdoor Activities Club (ODAC) have
approached Lighthouse Adventure Club for a wilderness survival camp. The price
will be $250 for each person, which includes all trainers, safety personnel, domestic
ferry, food and logistics required for the lessons in camp.

5.3 Sources of Revenue

When marketing and sales strategies are executed effectively and directed at the correct target audience
groups, the centre will start to make revenue. It is important to have various sources of income, so as to
stabilize and improve the cash flow of the business.
a. Corporate Programs
 The sales team will be able to sell the centre and its programs all-year round.
 However, we expect to see a boost in the number of corporate clients during the mid-year
period (when companies find that they have excess finances after the end of a
financial/accounting year) or at the end of the year (when companies spend money on
such programs to encourage and appreciate their staff after a year of work).
 Ebb and flow of sales are pronounced
b. Individual Customers
 These clients will consists of young adults, working adults and families that will frequent
the centre during the weekends, public holidays and school holidays.
 Ebb and flow of sales are less pronounced
c. Sub-rental to related business vendors
 In order to have a comprehensive and dynamic sports centre, we have to provide clients
with a wide range of sports facilities and activities to choose from. It is therefore wise to
sub-lease to certain business vendors to manage their own facility since they have the
expertise and operational experience in their field.
 Leasing spaces in the centre to such vendors has its advantages; they have more
incentives to execute their own marketing efforts to bring their existing clients base to the
centre. When big, recognized brands are brought to the centre, it also lends prestige to the
centre.
d. Events
 Lighthouse Adventure Club will organize sports events regularly to entice our guests to
return again to experience different challenges.
 By organizing and marketing sports events for universities, polytechnics, and corporate
groups, it will further fuel the publicity for the adventure centre positively and generate
greater vibrancy of the centre.

5.4 Marketing Strategy Summary

Lighthouse Adventure Club will be engaging in the marketing campaigns through the following avenues.
a. Digital Space
i. Website
 Since we are mainly targeting the people in the age group of 7 – 35 years old, we
need to target them where they will spend significant amount of time on – the
Internet.
 Therefore, it is important for Lighthouse Adventure Club to invest in a visually-
appealing, user-friendly and reliable website to provide a good first impression
for our potential clients.
 Google AdWords will be actively used to drive traffic towards the website,
increasing the centre’s exposure to the public
ii. Social media platforms
 Setting up a Facebook page for the adventure centre will be a way to compliment
the website. The Facebook page is a way for our existing clients to feedback on
the experience that they had, and for new potential clients to understand more
about the centre. This page will be showcasing photos from the various programs
and sports events, and it will serve as an online platform to publicize for
upcoming events to our target audience.
 A YouTube channel will be set up to present video series to promote outdoor
adventure and sports. For example, video series of footage of certain sports
events, and some tutorials for wilderness survival skills will be posted. It will be
a video channel where the audience’s interests to try out outdoor adventure and
sports are piqued.
 Collaborations with well-known travel bloggers can be arranged for them to
write a review our adventure centre on their blogs. The extensive viewership of
the blogs written by these bloggers can lend credibility and further publicity for
the business.
b. Print
i. Brochures
 Brochures will be featured in selected partnering resorts in Bintan and Batam for
greater publicity of the adventure centre. With that, their clients can then find out
more information about Lighthouse Adventure Club.
ii. Newspapers and magazines
 Public Relations (PR) campaigns can be held by Icon Media Group to feature
interviews or articles written about the management team on newspapers and
magazines, in order to intrigue the interest of the general public to find out more
about the project.

The table above shows the starting wage for all staff in the first year of operations. When sales figures
increase, more hires will be made to handle the workload.
Regarding the wages of the Indonesian staff, the figures are determined according to the industry
standards. The typical hotel worker below supervisory level in Indonesia makes an average of S$173.234
in 2014. The minimum annual wage in the Riau Province in 2014 is S$1,812, which equates to S$151
every month. A typical university graduate from Jakarta will have a starting pay of S$400 every month.
The wages of workers at Lighthouse Adventure Club will be adjusted according to the individual’s
experience in given field, educational background and the technical difficulty of job. Since Lighthouse
Adventure Club will be hiring a number of workers from the local villages on the island, wages will be
pegged to the minimum wage because they are mostly uneducated. This is possible because firstly, the
costs of living is very low on the island, and secondly, the workers will earn a lower and more unstable
income if they work as fishermen and village builders.
For jobs at supervisory levels or requires special skill sets and knowledge, we will hire experienced and
trained personnel from Bintan and Batam.

7. Corporate Social Responsibility

As owners of real estate on a small island, we must be good stewards of the land under our charge. Our
environmentally-friendly efforts should be consistent and deliberate. Such efforts will require good
practices that will be ingrained in our business model and ethics to make this business socially,
environmentally and economically sustainable.

It is our responsibility to ensure that the environment is kept at its best state. With that in mind, we are
developing an adventure centre that is not only exciting and fun, but also an avenue to educate and create
awareness in our guests on the importance of keeping the environment clean and green.
a. Proper human waste management
 All our centre accommodation will be pre-installed with septic tanks
 Using septic tanks is an excellent way to manage human waste as it naturally allows
the waste to be distributed to the surrounding earth underground
 These tanks run solely on the principle of gravity; no power is used to run the system,
making it environmentally-friendly and green
b. Power conservation
 We will educate our staff and encourage our guests to conserve energy
 The centre accommodation will not be fitted with refrigerators, televisions or air-
conditioning units as these electrical appliances drain out power even when not in
use. Also, this is a deliberate effort to provide a natural environment for our guests
throughout the duration of their stay
 All lights and fans will be switched off during day time
c. Clean power generation
 As the centre expands, the management will look into developing green forms of
energy to power part of the centre
 With generous amounts of sunlight in this region, the centre can consider using a
solar-diesel hybrid generator
 The carbon footprint of the centre can be reduced significantly

Lessons Details:

Basic Survival Priorities Lesson Outline:


This will be the first lesson that the participants will undergo upon
arrival at the base camp. Participants will learn the various priorities of
surviving on a deserted tropical island. Wilderness survival rules are
different in different parts of the world, depending on terrain,
temperature and climate. These conditions will determine the type of
food available, the risk of exposure to the extreme temperatures and the
risk of predators around.

1. Observe the surroundings and environment. Plan ahead and look


for potential predators.
a. On a tropical island, the sand-flies on the beach can be a
nuisance. However, the thick vegetation/mangroves can
be homes to predators like snakes, crocodiles, venomous
spiders and scorpions.
b. Hence it is best to stay at the “fringe” where the
survivors can be protected from the elements, and yet
their smoke signals will not be obstructed by the thick
canopy.
2. Source for water
a. Often warm and humid, survivors will perspire a lot
while hunting or seeking rescue and that will put them at
risk of dehydration.
b. It is thus extremely important to find a reliable source of
water.
3. Build a shelter
a. Even though it can be warm in the day, the cold nights
can be quite unforgiving to the survivors.
b. The lack of shelter will be a two-fold mistake, as
survivors will usually die of either hypothermia or heat
stroke – over-exposure to the elements
c. The insects can be an irritation to the survivors at night,
disallowing the survivors from having a good rest.
4. Build a fire
a. This will increase the survival rate of survivors greatly.
Fire can be used for:
i. Creating smoke signals for rescue
ii. Cooking food
iii. Purifying water
iv. Keep warm
v. Keep most predators away at night
5. Find food
a. If rescue is not expected to be arriving quickly, it is
important for the survivors to be self-sustainable. In a
deserted island, energy will be depleted quickly while
sourcing for water and building a shelter.
b. Food is abundant on a tropical island. The sea is full of
edible seafood, there are plenty of coconut trees around
the island. If there are animals like chicken, rabbits or
Impact Adventures Pte. Ltd. ROC. NO.: 201417520H
All Rights Reserved
46

goats found, the survivors will need to consume


sufficient food to have enough energy to make weapons
or snares and traps to hunt these animals.
c. The vegetation can be dense on the tropics. It will be
helpful if the survivors can recognize edible plants and
roots as those are great sources of carbohydrates, a good
source of energy.
6. Seek rescue
a. If the survivors are at a large beach, they can arrange
thick branches to form a “SOS” message on the beach.
b. Create thick white smoke on the beach with a fire so that
planes and sailing craft can spot from far.
Knots and Lashing Knots and lashing are important knowledge because they will give the
survivors an easier time trying to build a solid raft or a stable shelter.
Knowing proper knots and lashing will allow survivors to add strength
to their structures with minimal resources.
Some of the knots and lashing skills that participants will learn in the
course:

1. Reef knot
2. Clove hitch
3. Bowline (for safety and rescue)
4. Square lashing
5. Diagonal lashing
6. Overhand knot

Participants will learn how to tie the knots and lashings properly and
tightly, the purpose each of them serves, and the criteria of tying a good
knot.
Bush Craft Participants will learn crucial bush craft for survival in the wild.
1. Fire-starting
a. Introduction to kinder, tinder and timbre
b. Fire-plow method
c. Flint-and-steel method
d. Fire safety
2. Outdoor cooking
a. Methods to cook: boiling, smoking, roasting, steaming
b. Food preparation: gutting, skinning, descaling
3. Simple shelter building
a. Types of shelters
b. How to build the different types of shelters
4. Water collection and purification
a. Filtering and boiling of water
b. Simple collection of rain water
5. Fishing
a. Methods: hook-and-line/fishing net
b. Underwater wildlife recognition
