Interesting Review of the Travel Industry

Excellent comments and assessment. People spend hours and hours on the internet trying to plan their vacations. Regardless of how much a person earns per hour, we all work 2080 hours (if not self-employed I mean, cause then it is half again more +/-) for that 1 or 2 weeks of vacation. Do you really want to entrust that valuable time to a gnome in a pointy hat who is the figment of a PR person’s imagination? (!?!) He is not real. There is a voice-over and animation! And regardless of what people are led to believe from the commercials, he will not magically show up when something goes wrong. But the travel consultant is a phone call or email away to be your advocate!

I must say that is a pretty interesting reason for your friend’s brand loyalty. I suspect there will always be people who are perfectly happy with doing things with a “safe” and well known choice like Travelocity. More and more people will start becoming comfortable with and using the new travel planning services though, and the travel planning services will be refined through user feedback too.

When planning closed-end travel (limited amount of time, had to return to a desk job), my wife and I preferred to anchor our time around a couple of experiences and let the rest unfold…an approach not well-aided by travel planning tools.

Particularly since my previous profession involved large-scale project management and planning, the last thing I think I wanted to do was a detailed plan of my holiday.

Now that our travel is more open-ended, we’ve developed our own home-baked systems(I use that term very loosely, by the way) to determine what’s next.

Thanks for this interesting article, I am the first time on your blog and I am going to read your other posts.

Haha that little gnome is your friend too, admit it!

You’ve hit the nail on the head again!

You certainly raised a good point there.

Great post, once again thanks.

I saw something about that on the local TV channel last night.

Nice one. A great read yet again.

I’m so glad I found this website, it’s great!

I would have to totally agree with you.

Always such an interesting read, never a dull moment.

Some people just stick to what they know first or felt comfy in choosing a travel guide. But it will be a really great idea to not just to stick to one but to try the other stuffs because by doing it, you just can discover new and something you might ever know.

Looking for a career change and love to travel, especially Hawaii. I have tons of business and management experience, just not in the travel industry. I am aware that it’s not really the best paid industry but I’m ready for a change.

That is a really interesting post, thank you.

there involved with the travel industry that have a promising future and… tourist guides department of tourism officials flight attendants tourist information center.

Travelocity still has a tremendous customer base with loyalty and the new startup sites have to offer great service with significantly better prices. The online travel sites a re really mature now, Orbitz, Travelocity, and expecia are all good.

Always a pleasure visiting your blog. Keep up the great work.

Sounds exciting. I would like to know more about this travel industry.

I really take into consideration what you have meant with this article. Thank you so much for this great observation.

Most of the people really loves to travel and some of them doesn’t have enough time to look around for other planning options especially those busy people. And also dont get frustrated Susan because it seems that most of the people really don’t know about it because it was not yet popular unlike those existing commercial establishments. And many people still don’t have enough time to read travel blogs and forums. All I can say is, if they want it, they will find it.

It sure is nice to travel without carrying any weight around. Virtual guide book is a new stuff for me but it sounds interesting that i will check out more information about it. About your friend, well, it seemed impractical to chose a costly option over the options you opened for her, specially considering you are a friend and therefore, some one she already knows she could trust. Well, people have different choices. I suppose we just respect others of the choices they make.

AWesome work - you’re my favourite blogger in this area!
