Business Planning: A history class
March 5th, 2010
I recently did some research on the origins of the honeymoon because I believe it is important to know history when you think about the future of your business or industry. Did you know that the concept of travelling for your honeymoon originated in India? Or that initially this journey was intended to visit family and friends that couldn’t make it to the wedding? Wikipedia has an interesting article, not only on the history, but on etymology of the honeymoon, too.
In the last weeks we were studying data on whether couples like to leave right from the wedding ceremony, what destinations they want to travel for their honeymoon, and for how long. But perhaps it would make sense to also think a little more about how to enable people to take their small children along on their honeymoon, or how to arrange for family members at home to be taken care of?
Let me know what you think!
