Travel & Leisure, Exploding Industries as Baby Boomers Look Forward .

Wednesday 31 October 2007 @ 4:26 am

As the first Baby Boomer just reached the social security application process, Travel & Leisure industries are re-tooling their marketing and sales projections. The travel industry is already a three trillion pluss dollar industry, but Katie bar the doors. The boomers, not only reaching the official age for retirement, they also will be controlling large sums of assets from family estates. This adds up to explosive growth for vendors of travel and leisure.
It would be wise for niche marketers to carve out a huge chunk of the pie by offering extreme value packages to the thrifty and wise. Boomers, some with unlimited resources and some with limited budgets, will be looking to extend their leisure activites into the extended longevity of their years ahead.
Look at, for example, the growth in popularity of such hot spots like Costa Rica. Costa Rica is The Hawaii of the 60’s. Fueled, not only by burgening masses of American tourists but European tourists as well. Americans and Europeans for the same reasons, but mostly the value of the Euro against the dollar. The trend, none the less, indicates traveler are looking for the most exotic bang for the buck. You can keep up to date on events, surrounding travel and travel news at www.JustTravelNewsBlog.com
The trend and the future, I believe, is in all inclusive vacation packages, co-operative vendors throwing in add-ons and co-oping ad dollars. Other value offers such as time-shares, FAM packages, “typically cruise familiarization routes”,special discounts for first times, and specials negotiated by wholesalers and brokers of travel from vendors. Their is a number of travel packages out there now, but watch the growth… Try this one www.PassportToTravel.US
Enjoy your extended years and see new places and discover different cultures, if you can. It’s being made easier and cheaper, all the time…
