Travaillier Corporation has recently hired employees with experience in the bus tour industry, and its executives have also been negotiating with charter bus companies that subcontract with bus tour companies.
Conclusion
Travaillier Corporation must be attempting to enlarge its consumer base by attracting new customers.
Evidence
Travaillier Corporation has traditionally catered to air travelers, and those travelers are still taking similar vacations.
Meanwhile, Travaillier Corporation recently hired employees who have experience in the tour bus industry, and its execs have been in talks with companies that subcontract charter buses.
Ealuation
This is a classic Curious Fact / Author's Interpretation type argument. Curious Fact: Why is Travaillier Corporation hiring employees w/ tour bus industry experience and talking to companies that rent out charter buses? Author's Interpretation: They must be trying to enlarge their base (which is mostly air travelers) by trying to attract bus travelers as well.
The correct answers to these arguments deal with one of two things: - a different way to explain the curious fact - the plausibility of the author's way
Goal
Most Weaken answers on causal arguments deal with a different way to explain the curious fact, so we'll primarily look for a different reason (besides trying to attract new bus customers) that Travaillier Corporation is hiring people with bus experience and talking to a charter bus companies. But we'll stay receptive to answers that lower the plausibility that Travaillier Corporation is trying to enlarge their base, or that they are seeking new, bus-traveling customers.
