I haven't used a travel agent in about 10 years, and I vacation 2-3 times a year. Not sure how they can justify that vacations are not booked online. In fact, no one asks me when I am booking a flight or hotel online whether it is for business or vacation... I guess if you are looking into pre-packaged resorts, where its a charter plane, resort, and even airport transfers included (Transat Vacations, Sunwing Vacations, etc) then maybe that's true that people still us agents for those... I still see agents advertising those in malls. But I bet that segment of the market is declining year over year for the past 10 years. So yes, its a low percentage of a shrinking market. As for cruises, the market is still overwhelmingly older and retired people[1]. Another market it will be hard to disrupt with technology. Not to be all pessimistic, but there's a reason things are the way they are I guess. [1] http://www.cruisemarketwatch.com/market/ http://www.cruisemarketwatch.com/market/
