Whispering Pines L.L.C | Application Preview
Whispering Pines L.L.C. is seeking government grants to launch a fishing, hunting, and sightseeing business focused on attracting tourists to a unique island in Alaska. The funding will help cover initial startup costs, including the purchase of a boat and plane, construction of cabins, development of a website, marketing efforts, and essential materials for operations.
The business plan emphasizes collaboration with Alaskan residents and a strong advertising campaign to stimulate local growth alongside the company. Whispering Pines aims to differentiate itself from existing competitors, particularly Orca Island and Bristol Bay, by leveraging its unique offerings. The island features a volcano with a lake inside, excellent opportunities for big game fishing, and access to nearby glaciers, making it an attractive destination.
Whispering Pines will focus on creating a family-friendly environment, which is uncommon in the industry due to the potentially hazardous wildlife and terrain. The business intends to offer guided sightseeing trips and packages that include volcano camping, enhancing the overall customer experience. The goal is to not only generate revenue for the business but also contribute to the economic growth of the local Alaskan community.

Business Plan
By advertising, by hard work, and by incorporating Alaskan residents in our venture. Helping Alaska grow will help us as a business grow. We are trying to build a fishing, hunting, and sightseeing business. By doing so, I will be able to bring revenue to Alaskan residents and alaska itself. What will set us aside from other businesses doing the same, Is the fact we are on an island. We are also the only ones I have found that have a volcano on our island with a lake inside the volcano. With the location of the island, it's a great place for big game fishing, and sightseeing wildlife right from the beach, by boat or plane. As well as most of the glaciers around the Kenai Peninsula

Self Identified Competition
Orca Island, Bristol Bay, are the only 2 I have found that are on an island. Bristol Bay is selling their business and Orca Island doesn't offer a 1/4 of what we have to offer. We will provide more of a family oriented business were most businesses like ours do not allow children due to the adverse inviroment. [Bears, Terrain, harsh conditions of weather ].There is also no predators (animal's) on the island. Given the location, the fishing game is larger. The trip to and from the Island either by boat or plane will be a sightseeing adventure in itself. Which we provide as part of the packages we will sell. We also, will be providing a volcano camping trip.
