Company Profile Example

Since your company profile is to be turned in next week I thought I would show you an example of what I am looking for. 

Company Profile

Company Name: I Hate Tourists

Slogan: "People will be asking you for directions"

In the year 1980 a young man named Christopher Hankins decided to move his family from America to Chile. Chris had always had a love for traveling and when he finished college he decided to leave the country for many years. He had learned how to speak Spanish in his four years in college so he decided to go to South America where many people speak this beautiful language. While he was there he met a woman named Beth from America who had the same love for Spanish and traveling. He married her six months later and then one year later they gave birth to a boy. They continued to live in Chile for 12 more years and during this time they fell in love with the culture. The one thing that they did not like were the tourists who would always bother them and asked them how to find different attractions. After having a third child they decided it was time to move back to America to show their families the children. While in America Chris and Beth had the wonderful idea to start a Chile travel company from Houston, Texas. They knew all about Chile after living there for so many years. The main thing they wanted their travel company to do was educate people to go to Chile and not look like tourists. So because of this great passion against tourists they named the company, "I Hate Tourists." In 2004 the company was passed down to their children Taylor, Lauren, and Brooke. The company works with many Spanish speaking countries now and people can travel to Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Spain. 

There are currently four full time employees working at "I Hate Tourists." Taylor is the President and head of advertising, Ashley (Taylor's Fiance) is in charge of creating itineraries and the finances, Lauren (sister) is the vice-president and in charge of all art related material, and Brooke (sister) is the receptionist and in charge of the events and educational seminars. 

The main office is located in Houston, Texas. 

The company offers many services which include all inclusive packages, itineraries for up to one month of travel, country brochures, car rental, airplane tickets, hotel booking, and educational courses. The educational courses include "Oral Spanish" "Country History" "How to plan a budget vacation" and "How to look like a local."
