जोखिम कारक

• High competitor density (46 nearby) increases price pressure and customer acquisition costs
• Break-even uncertainty (4–9 months) suggests demand and booking cadence may fluctuate
• Revenue band variability ($12,600–$21,600) can strain cash flow during slower seasons
• Lower GDP/capita ($2,695) may limit budget spend on premium photography packages
