Travel Package Trends for 2010
by Kathleen Kavanagh
Manager, Home Based Channel Group
Voyagers, Inc.

It's hard to believe the year of 2009 is over. It was a year of challenges for the entire travel industry. This time of year is the perfect time to strategize and implement your 2010 business plan. This is a great time to "suggest" and plant the seeds of travel for 2010. Is your home based agency:

  • Offering gift certificates for travel?
  • Stocking passport application forms to give as gifts?
  • Utilizing the incentives offered by the Globus Family of Brands and other suppliers?
  • Doing a holiday "reach out" to your database?
  • Completing your 2010 business plan?

If you are, the end result will be a successful 2010!
