Travel Agency Industry

Travel industry is a billion dollar industry and is
grow significantly each year. In the past, Travel Suppliers would sell their travel packages to travel agents and travel agents will sell the package
directly to the public. It's changed!

Because the Internet and a positive response to the Internet by Travel consumers, Travel Suppliers are now placing their products online for ALL to see. Many travel suppliers have set up their own web sites, however, hundreds of Travel Suppliers, Consolidators and Travel Wholesalers have been working with the Travel Industry Association of Commerce. For example OSSN (Outside Sales Support Network) is the # 1 Travel Industry Trade Association representing and supporting the Home Based Travel Agency, Independent Contractor Seller Travel and Foreign Sales Travel Agent. There are more than 100,000 members in OSSN.

Because of this large number of outside travel agency - Travel suppliers overwhelmed in our basket with travel transactions. Most of the agents select a particular region, destination or type of travel such as honeymoons, travel Bay Cruises, Ski or what ever area they feel comfortable with. Travel suppliers when newly introduced to the members, members often discuss their products in a private members only message board. Travel Agents then present a big trip is in relation to their clients
database and the rest of the consumers are left to find this true not trusted travel transactions. (If you want to see an example of what I'm talking about, find the "catch all" the fax machine at your workplace. Ask about the Travel Fax incoming? Because the information is unsolicited fax no, no, you may not see the actual transaction on a consistent basis)

Travel consumers can view the e-holiday catalog without
to speak with a travel agent. Not only can you read and see what
See a travel agent, you can view videos, online, from your chosen destination.

Travel Suppliers have come a long way. Go to http://www.travel360degrees.com
site and click on the Holiday Catalog to see what the Travel Agents to see.

Some Travel Agents Travel markup if possible, others will only charge you a price that Travel Supplier is charging them! There is much debate about how to expose people to this great travel deal. There is also, apparently, be quiet encouragement from the U.S. State Department for Americans to travel in groups when traveling to rise. Well Travel Suppliers, received the unspoken message. The tour group consensus was never heard and individuals, select a date, vacation packages
very affordable.
