When looking into a home based business many people, perhaps yourself included, are concerned with the longevity of their business and the niche they choose to be in.  And they certainly should take a look a the facts, but here's the outlook on pairing home business with a Travel company like Global Resorts Network.

> Fact: The Travel Industry is outpacing the Global Economy by 23% annually through the and is expected to reach 14 Trillion dollars this decade.

 

> Fact: The Internet was used by approximately 90 million American adults to plan travel during the past year with 76 percent of online travelers planning leisure trips online. Most online travel planners are somewhat or extremely satisfied with their experiences in using the Internet to plan their trips. Importantly, most see the Internet as a very useful or essential tool for planning many/most aspects of a trip including where to stay overnight, planning travel routes, potential places to visit, attractions to visit, as well as learning about what to do. The primary tools for travel planning are online travel agency websites, search engines, company websites and destination websites. Airline tickets, overnight lodging accommodations and car rentals are the dominant travel products and services purchased online by travel planners. (Source: Travelers’ Use of the Internet, 2009)

 

> Trend: Babyboomers (born 1945-1965), around one billion world wide, are now reaching their retirement age, which occurs at a rate of one retiring every eight seconds.  This equates to 10,000 retiring per day for the next 15 years.  What do most of them want to do with their time…Travel, of course.   In fact, boomers make up 15 percent of leisure travelers and take an average of 4.4 leisure trips each year.  Boomers also represent 16 percent of all business travelers and these travelers take an average of 10.1 business trips each year.

> Trend: Every three seconds a new person goes on-line.  Barely a third of the worlds population is online at this date and time.  Online shopping itself has shifted in the last five years from mainly small purchases to buying cars, homes, and everything inbetween.  Booking Travel online continues to increase with 80 million americans using the internet to book travel each year.  The internet is and will continue to be the future.

> Trend: Statistics show that small and home based businesses are the fastest growing segments in the US Economy.  When surveyed, 96% of people between the age of 25 and 44 said they wanted to have their own business but just didn't know how to get started.  With all the coporate downsizing today, no real job security, it's no wondering many people are taking their financial futures into their own hands.  

So at the end of the day, the bottom line is the Travel Industry will never die and prospects will never run out in our life times.  Thats good news for us and our children, whom of which will inherit our million dollar online business.

About GRN:

The Global Resorts Network offers a luxury travel membership at plush resorts all over the world while simultaneously offering the ability to enroll you in a home marketing/sales Internet business.  Let it be clear you do NOT need to work the business in order to own the membership and enjoy your travel discounts.  GRN is not a fly-by-night get-rich quick scam–it's been in business for more than 23 years–but conceptually some find it difficult to grasp immediately. They sell two levels of membership: As of 2011, Gold memberships last three years at $1,495 and lifetime Platinum memberships cost $2,995. That entitles associates to vacation for a week at costs that are a fraction of what they might otherwise cost online or directly from the timeshare world.

The Critics:

Critics have likened the Global Resorts Network to a Ponzi scheme or pyramid scheme, except GRN is actually selling a product, which is luxury vacations membership that gives you deep discounted rates on travel. For an associate to make money, they have to start selling the membership to others. That means they become associate members too, you become their sponsor and make residuals on their sales and residuals on those they sign up. The more people you sign up and the more people they sign up, the greater the residual commissions for everyone.

How it actually works:

The reality is GRN is not running a Ponzi scheme or the Better Business Bureau would have a substantial log of complaints (and they don't) and the Federal Trade Commission would have shut them down long ago. GRN enters into bargain basement agreements with timeshare companies, resorts, owners of villas and hotels for an untold number of accommodations. No timeshare, resort or hotel posts 100 percent occupancy 100 percent of the time. So that limits certain locations to certain times of year. The vacationer may not get exactly what they want at a specific time. That's one limitation of the program. One associate couple in 2008 claims to have taken a Hawaiian vacation for under $500 for a week, including airfare. At regular rates the vacation would have costs seven times that plus the airfare.

The Business Side:

A certain percent of people browse the Web who want a plush vacation and also want to start a home business. Even if it is only one-one-thousandths of a percent of 1 million people sign up, you earn $1,000 commission for each sale. The more people under the sales associate, the more residual commissions you earn from their sales. The more people they sign up, the more residuals those associates earn, as well as their sponsor. In a sense, everybody becomes their own pyramid, reaping residuals of those selling trips and signing up new associates
