The Right Place at the Right Time
The travel industry is a $1.3 trillion market in the United States, which translates into almost $2.5 million a minute. And the growth in travel bookings is going to the Internet; the number of people booking travel on the Internet grew by more than 20 percent last year.
Owning your own online travel business gives you the opportunity to get a piece of this huge industry. There really is no loyalty to the major online travel agencies, but your business will be based on your relationships with your family and friends who keep using your travel site. The residual income you can build will be protected and passed on to you and your future generations.
One of the trends in travel is that the baby boomers will have a huge effect on the travel industry. There are nearly one billion baby boomers worldwide and the first of them are turning 60. They are looking to retire and what will the newly retired baby boomers do when they retire? Travel of course.
Statistics show that small and home-based businesses are the fastest growing segments of the U.S. economy. Home-based travel sellers are the fastest growing segment of the travel agency community. With large and mid-size companies downsizing and outsourcing, corporate America offers little promise for job security. That’s why people are turning to home-based businesses.
I have been in the travel industry for 19 years and I love traveling the world and experiencing different parts of the world. I also enjoy traveling like an insider; receiving great travel perks and discounts as well.
