Estimated Monthly Revenue:

To estimate the monthly revenue, let's assume: - 50 consultations per month - Average booking cost per traveler: $1000 - 20 premium memberships

Total Revenue = (50 consultations x $100) + (50 consultations x $1000 x 10%) + (20 memberships x $20) Total Revenue = $5000 + $5000 + $400 Total Revenue = $10400
