Survey: Leisure Travel Primed for Growth
A new survey of more than 20,000 travel professionals by Benchmark Hospitality International found that eight in ten travel agents are upbeat about industry growth in 2014 and beyond. It also found that nearly 75% of growth in travel is related to leisure travel, with half of leisure growth stemming from the luxury segment. Agents saw consumers going direct as the top threat to their business in 2014.
