Another Idea: How to Start a Travel Agent Business

    Home based – or brick and mortar travel agency for that matter – is competing against things like obitz and travelocity, not to mention direct searches on the net.

    So the Net is like a big Wal Mart of travel.

    How did Sam Walton say to compete against him? Offer superior service and things he couldn’t offer.

    In travel, that would mean packaging trips (air/cruise), theme trips “Holy Land”, affinity groups (Fraternities), etc.

    It will be hard just to set up a link to an affiliate travel site.

    The web marketer will need to promote the benefit, not the vehicle.
