SIC code for travel blog ownership and making money of adverts

So, who is going to be doing all this work, if you're not? Are you hiring an employee?

Your comment about "20+h/week" sounds like a justification for paying your spouse a high salary, i.e. a response to previous conversations where people have said "I hire my wife to do all the bookkeeping".

This will be hobnob from contUK at £5.50/hr.

Malvolio from ContUK has a pretty good grasp of the internet and how it works, actually. And how to monetise it effectively. His might even be a rather better one that you have.

But as I said - have fun.

Thanks.
Starting small is not a problem. Failing it, also.
Do you do this in your LTD? Under what SIC code?

Nothing tricky here and yes if it flies, future travels will be expensed.

Do you know much about how the travel industry works?
If you're wanting to book your family holiday as a business expense, then it goes on business travel insurance, and the people you book it through will be treating you as a business, not consumer. That's when ABTA, ATOL, and all the other consumer-focused travel security becomes more of an issue.
The way round that is that your travel company signs up to ABTA or a Travel Trust, and then bookings made through your company have some cover.
Of course, once you're signed up and operating as a travel company, then you build up your connections in the industry and get invited on fam trips, and that's where the fun can really start. It used to be the whole trip would be paid for, but now most of the high end operators expect your business to pay for the flights, while they pay for the accommodation and experiences while on the trip.

As for safaris, there's parts of Kenya that are OK to go to, but Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana would be preferable. Many of the Kenyan areas are full of influencer trophy hunters guided by Pollmans - no concern for the wildlife, just need to surround animals and make lots of noise.
We were thinking of heading to Mfuwe for our next trip.
