Rep Power: 23 cutiepup is on a distinguished road
Just wanted to see anyone has feedback or info on running a travel service along with your salon. I've been looking into the business. The area I'm in is very business/pleasure travel oriented. Many of my clients travel several times a year. Just wondered if anyone had any good or bad comments.ThanksCutiepup

Tried it about 5 years ago, lost a ton of money. With internet travel sales I can't see there is any money in it.Steve Miller

I heard a news report this week on CNBC that a lot of travel agencies were upset because some cruise lines were not going to give agencies their % of sales any longer.I had thought about this too, but felt it was too risky.

My advice would be not to do it. I have a good friend who has owned her own travel agency for 14 years. Does mostly corporate travel. Always been very lucrative. She has been having a rough time lately. The airlines keep cutting commissions more and more and now the cruise lines have started into the fray. At least Carnival.Plus gon2cali has a good point about the internet sites.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've been leaning towards it not being a good idea in this internet based time.Thanks,cutiepup
