ONLINE TRAVEL AGENCY BUSINESS...FRANCHISE...!!!

TREND #1

Simply put, travel is the world's largest industry. At over 7 Trillion Dollars spent annually worldwide, and a growth rate that puts it on pace to double in the next 4 to 6 years, it's a vast market. Baby boomers are retiring at the rate of 1 every 8 seconds and they will continue to drive the growth for the next 10 to 20 years. With an industry this big, a company able to capture even a small piece of that pie could be wildly successful and profitable.

TREND #2

With the dawn of the Internet age, more and more consumers are booking their travel online. In 2006, Forrester Research reported the 73% of US households are online and 82% of US travelers are online. More than half of them research and book travel online. In fact, according to CNN Money, travel is the single largest category of e-commerce, accounting for about 43% of all online spending. This means that the industry is no longer controlled by storefront agencies. The mom and pop travel agencies that used to be the fixture of every strip center and shopping mall are rapidly disappearing. The result of all this is that while more money is being spent on travel and more profit is being spent online, consumers are experiencing a lack of human interaction.
