Finding a home based internet business can be a daunting task with so many choices. The key is to find one that fits your lifestyle and and interests. The ideal home business idea is to find a product or service you can sell on the Internet to the millions of people who will ultimately become repeat customers. Having a brick and mortar outlet is a thing of the past. Now it's click and order. One click of the mouse and millions of people will see your service. No amount of walk through store traffic, newspaper advertising, can compare to the overall reach of the Internet today. The travel industry is just realizing its remarkable potential in the world's marketplace. This industry pulls in approximately $1.3 trillion annually in the U.S., and almost $7 trillion worldwide. Economists have identified 4 strong trends that could mean significant growth in the travel industry. What it may mean for you or anyone who gets involved.   TREND ONE  Baby boomers – the generation born between 1946 and 1964 – will have a huge effect on this industry. There are nearly one billion baby boomers worldwide and the first of them are turning 60. These 60 year olds are facing retirement, which occurs at a rate of one person per eight seconds for the next 20 years.  And, what will these newly retired baby boomers do when they retire from the work force? Travel, of course! The Baby Boomers are fueling this massive trend by the way. This generation has been creating the largest trends in the world simply because they happen to control 65% of all the money in the world.     TREND TWO The travel industry is growing 23 percent faster the global economy. With such growth, a boom is on the horizon. In fact, travel is expected to double to $14 trillion worldwide in the next 10 years.  Of that economy, tourism now accounts for almost 11 percent of all consumer spending worldwide.     TREND THREE The continued growth of Internet e-commerce will sustain online travel sales .  Consumers are spending billions on the Internet, and travel is the fastest-growing segment of that trend.  While 5 years ago, people primarily made small purchases only, today people have become comfortable buying things such as cars, homes and of course, travel online.  More people than ever are now accessing the Web to purchase products or services and conduct research.  Why? It's easy, convenient and they are in control of their buying! In 2006, over 78% of Americans (49 million people) used the Net to find travel or destination information. Forrester Research predicts that TRAVEL will remain the #1 online retail niche category in the U.S., and it will grow to over $119 billion by the year 2010.  Information Source: www.hotelmarketing.com     TREND FOUR   Statistics show that small and home-based businesses are the fastest-growing segments of the economy.  Home-based travel sellers are the fastest-growing segment of the travel agent community.  With large and mid-sized companies downsizing and outsourcing, corporate North America offers little promise for job security. That’s why people in the know are turning to home-based businesses.  At home workers also have more "free" time and "disposable" income for recreation and vacation time than clock-punchers and Americans at large according to Entrepreneur Magazine. Tax deductions available to home based businesses can not be ignored either. View  "death&taxes" on this website.  Or listen to an audio pre-recording geared towards travel and taxes at 1-405-244-4085.
