The Perfect Pair

With all the advertising on the Web, consumers still rely on each other for information. According to the AARP, when it comes to trvel, consumers are not brand loyal. They get most of their travel planning recommendations through word-of-mouth.

That makes network marketing and travel a perfect pairing. Home-based "click and order" trael agencies forgo costly advertising. Instead, they rely on personal referrals. MLM's are growing -- adding new representatives every day. The network marketing industry hs nearly doubled in the last decade, with annual sales topping $30 billion in the United States.

With a ready made customer base alrady poised to spend money on travel, it's the perfect time to get into the travel industry. Unlike industry giants, home-based travel agents have the flexibilit to cater to travelers' desires. They provide the best of both worlds: Individualized planning at steeply discounted prices.

Consumers with Internet access are fueling the rise of a new way of thinking about travel planning. As the tide turns away from large, impersonal companies, vacationers will be looking for friendlier alternatives. With industry growth pojected to continue for the next 20 years, there's never been a better moment for home-based agents to turn travel into profit.
