The Market Opportunity
Travel and Tourism is emerging as the world’s largest industry. The World Trade Organisation forecasts annual global revenues to reach $7.9 trillion by 2005. Today, the travel industry finds itself in much the same position as the securities industry did some ten years ago. It is a commission driven, transaction-oriented industry. Travel suppliers are cutting commissions, and looking for new means of efficient distribution. The retailers are being squeezed. The public is looking for convenience and service, but much of the industry is at a loss on how to provide it. The International Travel Industry is searching for technologies like Farelogix to achieve enhanced distribution and increased productivity/lower costs.
