Tours and Travels - no problem. You can incorporate a company following normal Company Law procedure. But dealings in foreign exchange, may be it requires RBI permission as all foreign exchange transactions are regulated by them.
Exports your views please.

1. For incorporating company (public/private) with the objects for tourism management and related money changing functions [restricted/full fledged money changers (RMC/FFMC)] only company law process for incorporation is required.
2. You will need membership of tourism related association, IATA etc
3. For actually starting the business activity of exchanging currencies/ travellers cheque etc, RBI permissions are required and also a tie up with one Authorised Dealer (Bank). You can interact with FEDAI. The website is at www.fedai.org.in. YOu will be required to become member of FEDAI also. Details of all rules and regulations will be available from FEDAI. For general information see link below :
https://demo83.sify.net/commonman/Scripts/FAQs54.htm & Master circular/notification on the subject of Full Fledged Money Changers on RBI & FEDAI websites
Accordingly and with details from FEDAI & RBI,
(i) FIRST you have to decide the scope of your operations in forex and extent of dealings in forex, amounts etc.over a year/period
ii) Decide whether you want to be full fledged money changer or restricted money changer and get premission form RBI office in the state of your operations.
iii) Register & become member of FEDAI.
iv) Both FEDAI & RBI will give you all relevant guidelines, reporting requirements, circulars and operating materials.
v) Get your staff trained for this by arrangement under FEDAI/RBI
vi) ALTERNATIVELY, initially, if your operations are on a small scale, tie up with any exiating category 2 Authorised Dealer of FFMC who will provide this facility to you and once your staff is well versed, you can have your own registration as FFMC.
you can get approval to act as FFMC (RMC permissions were not granted. Check) from RBI of fullfilling norms and requirements. Details from the link, RBI Office & FEDAI AND FFMC with whom you may tie up.

Yes Samar,
you can add it under the head main object clause. Just pass a resolution & submit the copy of resolution with altered MOA & AOA to ROC.
After the submission of all the requisite documents with RBI, It will take only 20 to 30 days for reg. with RBI as FFMC.

There is no specific format for KYC, only requirements provided by RBI on site.
