A relatively easy business to get started is a t-shirt company that markets specialty t-shirt with designs on them. This idea has huge potential in countries that focus on tourism but have not yet started the t-shirt industry. Think about it: Grandma goes on a trip to some exotic destination and wants to bring back a small gift for her 6 grandkids. What is easy to pack and relatively inexpensive? A nice professional t-shirt, with a local design, that will remind the kids where their grandma traveled. You do not even have to make the t-shirts, but just add value to the shirt by silk-screening on a high quality, creative design. Creating the t-shirt alone is not the only piece to this business. You will need to have some good sales people who will distribute your product to tourism retailers or you will need your own storefront to sell your items. Each of these can work, but you will need to do your market research before hand to decide which one is best for your location.
