You've seen the quaint travel offices of yesteryear...the posters of tropical locales and ski resorts. The wall of glossy brochures extolling the wonders of the world.
The other wall is filled with file cabinets containing who knows what - with a permanently stained coffee pot on top.
Along with this is the commercial rent, office furniture, employee benefits and never-ending government forms to fill out.
For decades that was the standard model for owning and running a travel business. Then came the Internet and things started to change - dramatically.
The travel consumer could book their own travel arrangements online. The early days of this new model was daunting - only for the most Net savvy and those with a dogged persistence and an eye for bargains.
Today you, as a consumer, have access to the same booking information and databases as the biggest travel agencies. But the next twist to this evolution is owning your own travel business - a virtual one.
This new model eliminates the overhead of those quaint travel offices. It's like having your own Expedia.
You can find these travel business-in-a-box type opportunities on the Net. All the tough stuff is handled for you. All you do is sign up and tell others. The money flows from there.
The old school travel business model isn't dead yet - but the new virtual model is so much more appealing. Check it out you'll be surprised.
