Hi everyone,

I’m researching service businesses in tourism-heavy areas, and one example I found is a provider offering Muskoka boat rental via this site: boatrentalscanada.com/boat-rentals-muskoka/.

I’m curious — for those who have worked in or studied seasonal service industries:

• What are the biggest operational challenges (staffing, maintenance, weather, permits)?

• How do you manage peak season demand and off-season downtime?

• What strategies help maintain customer satisfaction in a business that’s inherently weather-sensitive?

Happy to hear from anyone with experience or insight!
