Learning to Fly
May 12, 2008
In spite of the doom and gloom surrounding the airline industry, the simple fact is that the overall travel industry is putting up record numbers. According to one recent study, the latent demand for travel arrangement and reservation services industry was estimated to be worth $138.88 Billion in 2007, and is projected to reach $165.24 Billion by 2012 (Source: Icon Group). According to the most recent U.S. Economic Census, travel arrangement and reservation services generated $25.54 Billion in the United States alone in 2002 (Source: U.S. Census Bureau). But as this industry continues to become more automated, the quest for a competitive advantage is becoming more and more imperative, and those who are equipped with the most efficient tools are clearly in the strongest position.
