TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS FOR TRAVELUCION
20
U.S. change in policy toward Cuba and dissipating travel restrictions eventually allowing the average American to travel to Cuba Americans represent 34% of visitors to Travelucion’s websites yet they account for less than 3% of the
company’s revenue; if travel restrictions are lifted and assuming a more consistent conversion rate as seen with visitors from other nations, Travelucion could see a significant increase in sales very shortly after the restrictions are lifted
Enhance the corporate profile of the company though marketing Focus marketing in North America to cater to Canadian and American travelers Establish relationships/partnerships with large North American travel and cruise line companies
Build upon Cuban Entrepreneur rules GDS incorporation for central booking Increase marketing budget through additional online advertising (online spending on content and/or pay-per-
click) as well as sales team Overhaul/modernize the websites that currently generate over 30 million page views a year; leverage this to
drive volume to the booking platform to monetize this traffic Continue to build on current 150 private home (Casa Particulars) rental listings using a model similar to that of
Airbnb and HomesAway, as well as taxi/historic private car service
GROWTH POTENTIAL AND CATALYSTS
21
MPH Venture shareholders could benefit from the spin-out of mineral assets held by the
Company into a new public company
22
MPH Ventures owns 100% of Pidgeon Molybdenum Mining Ltd (PMML) and PMML owns 100% of the Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit. The project has excellent potential with
strengthening moly prices. The 3,420 acre Pidgeon Molybdenum
Deposit was initially developed by Rio Algom (now BHP Billiton). MPH has completed National Instrument
43-101 resource estimate (July 2012 Riverbend Geological Services Inc.) showing Indicated resource of 2.7 million tonnes of 0.117% Mo using a cutoff grade of 0.04% Mo and an inferred resource of 12.4 million tonnes of 0.083% Mo with a cutoff grade of 0.04% Mo.
