Home Based Travel Agents
The travel industry is exploding with opportunity. Airlines, cruise lines, hotels, resorts and other travel infrastructure are growing at an unprecedented rate and the common thread between all of the growth is distribution.
Suppliers are looking toward the retail travel agent community to create the future demand necessary to continue the growth and prosperity. Trends within the travel industry are evolving a network of home-based travel agents and with the Internet, came the opportunity for niche specialization for thousands of travel agents and their host agency partners.
Today, a home-based travel professional can expect to make an excellent living. In fact, in a White Paper written by Credit-Suisse in January, 2005 home-based travel agents were identified as the highest yielding distribution channel in the travel industry. It went on to outline home-based travel agents as the growth opportunity of the 21st century and urged yield sensitive suppliers (cruise lines, resorts, tour companies and such) to pursue this market segment as the most desirable distribution channel. However, the White Paper was quick to point out the difference between "card mill" agents and real home-based travel agents.
