The Home-Based Travel Revolution

Travel agents are alive and well and prospering -- at home!

While the media was counting the number of storefront travel agencies that were closing, an invisible revolution was taking place. Travel agents were quitting their Main Street offices to work at home and a new breed of travel agency, the "host agency," appeared, recruiting a small army of home-based travel agents to sell travel.

This book tells how a small group of entrepreneurial agents, derided as "kitchen table Mabels" by the old guard, grew into an army of tens of thousands of agents. These home-based travel agents are now the fastest growing -- in fact, the ONLY growing -- segment of the travel distribution channel.

This book tells how it happened, and what it can mean for you.
