Travel Industry - Taking Over the World

Travel is more than going from your living room to some other part of your home or from your home to your work. The travel industry is over a trillion dollar market in the United States alone. The travel industry is also one of the fastest growing industries around and if you are a baby boomer, then you have encouraged its growth.

Additionally, the industry has grown from what seems like every few years, a new global destination stands out as the most popular place to visit. And, regardless of price or location, an insurmountable amount of people tend to flock there.

Do you remember when the family used to get together for that once-a-year family vacation? You know how you would visit the brick-and-mortar spot and book the one to two week social family outing. Well, those family affair days are gone, largely due to the baby boomers living longer, leading healthier lives, and having a lot more money to spend. Plus, the technology available affords most people to visit their computers and plan several outings within a year. More people with more money equal an increased spending power and the travel industry is getting a huge piece of that pie.

Travelers no longer consist of families on an annual vacation, emergencies, or job related journey. The travelers face has changed to housewives who are leaving the children at home with their spouses, while they go on shopping trips, college students who are now conducting international visits as well as stateside trips, retirees who refuse to stay home and reminisce about their previous careers, and many others who just want to go on what most people call ‘getaways’. Whatever the reason, more people today are on the move, causing the travel industry to skyrocket. So, if you are wondering why your neighbors appear to be gone all the time, that’s because they are traveling.
