What business can I start at a tourist destination?

I have around 24sq.mt. of shop space at a tourist destination, Goa to be precise. I am planing to start a business of my own there. Can any one suggest what business I can start? I was planning to start a Internet Cyber Cafe. Will it work?

Cyber Curry, A curry and a surf on the web for tourists, I would be in there.

Why not... if there is no WiFi hotspots in your region widely available, people will need Internet caffees.

A kiosk that sells all your basic needs including but not limited to drinks, snacks, maps, and travel kits might work.

Are there many other internet cafes around? Is broadband access widespread among the locals? Internet cafes are great and many travelers use them instead of having to carry a laptop around. You could also look into recharging mobile phones and offering other services.

Definitely need to do your homework with whatever business you're going with. Check out the competition and see what's already offered (and, more importantly, what's lacking). Cyber cafe might work -- try doing a WiFi search in your area and see if there are already open networks (since users aren't going to pay if they can already get it for free).

I like the Cyber Cafe idea, but would need to know the location of this tourist destination to have more confidence in liking the idea.
