The exciting industry of travel is entering an all-time high.

With the holidays quickly approaching this is not the only

reason for the high demand for travel.While baby-boomers are

retiring every 8 seconds for the next 18 years, investors are

investing heavily into the growing industry.




1.BABY-BOOMERS ARE RETIRING AT RAPID SPEED


Now that the buildings are built and the cars have been designed,

Baby-Boomers are retiring at the rate of every 8 seconds for the next

18 years and are seeking refuge on the Cruise ships and Resorts of the

world.



2.INDUSTRY EXPECTING A DOUBLE IN ANNUAL REVENUES BY THE END OF THE DECADE


Many travel based industries are making provisions for the Boom that is

in store for the sleeping giant.Airline corporations are currently

building larger airports and airliners, while cruise ship corporations are

steadily building larger and luxurious cruise ships(visit cruisenewsdaily.com)



3.INDUSTRY NO LONGER CONTROLLED BY TRAVEL AGENCIES


In the 1990's all of the major airlines cut commissions on airfares,sending

the old brick and morder travel agencies out of business, while this had a

great impact and has almost made a traditional a travel agency a thing of the

past, it has also created a huge gap between the industry and the consumer which

has paved the way for the homebased travel agent because of zero to low overhead.


4.INDUSTRY PERKS AND INCENTIVES AS A TRAVEL INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL

There are very many homebased travel companies but very few high in quality. The high

quality companies will appreciate having you as a valuable asset to them and will roll

out the red carpet in incentives such as, travel points that are matched dollar for point

paid vacations to exotic destinations around the world, trip reinbursment programs,
travel memberships that include the entire family, and pay on a weekly and monthly basis

according to sales volume. The industry itself is also waiting to thank you by way of

complimentry upgrades on car rentals, hotel rooms, cruise cabins, airline seating arrangements

, and more.

here is now huge competition for it on the net, and getting tickets isnt easy either, airlines are not handing tickets to any tom, dick or harry just to start a home business, and lastly most people will only purchase tickets from the big reputed sites and not you.

True , but Travelocity, Orbitz, and Hotels.com offer affiliate programs.
You can target any audience you want and let them do the heavy work.

Good idea, I believe there are big market. But I have some advices, just as Suhaid said, if you focus your business on the same field with the biger competitor, then you have less advanage. if you can find some detailed market in this field, then you can win.

How big of a chance do you have with all the major companys that are as easy as dialing a number to talk with them? I honsetly think it's a terrible idea. Besides, all home-based businesses are too hard in my opinion. Too many distractions.
