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.
To your success,
