EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)
In Suriname, the tourism sector is now one of the booming sectors of our country.The government and private sector have decided to join forces together to make this sector flourish to its full potential. Bonitours Suriname is also one of the private companies that contributes and has been active in the tourism sector for 7 years.
As a tourism company, Bonitours Suriname does not provide all services, they only carry out tours to different parts of the country that are related to history, culture, nature and relaxation.
The company noticed in the past period that there is an increasing demand for the provision of services related to renting bicycles, but this cannot be fully expressed because the company does not have a bicycle rental department.
