Success Stories: Report Outlines New Opportunities for the Retail Travel Sector
CALGARY, Alberta, October 9, 2002 €” Developing an electronic marketplace and establishing a national strategy to create opportunities and maximize investment are two of several suggestions being offered to Canada's travel agencies in a new report released today. Commissioned by Industry Canada, the report titled A Guide for the Canadian Retail Travel Services Industry €” New Strategies and Business Models addresses strategies for the industry to expand its markets and develop new revenue streams.
The study suggests that travel agents partner with related industry players in complementary businesses such as currency exchange, insurance, and cargo/freight forwarding. Combining efforts, traditional travel agencies could offer one-stop shopping for a variety of travel services. The report also articulates the economic value of selling Canada as a tourist destination, providing benefit to the retail travel industry and to Canada as a whole.
€œThis report could not be more timely as travel agencies are adapting to a totally new environment,€? said Marc-André Charlebois, President and CEO of the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA). €œIt provides concrete examples of ways that agencies can improve and enhance their business operations and open up new sources of revenue.€?
Based on an analysis of the latest business and information technology trends, the study outlines potential business opportunities for travel agencies through the use of the Internet, and the implementation of e-commerce principles. The suggestions echo the type of creative thinking and new approaches outlined in the Government of Canada's Innovation Strategy.
€œThe travel and tourism industries are significant contributors to Canada's economic performance,€? said Industry Minister Allan Rock. €œThe ability to innovate and deploy new technologies and processes will ensure the sector's continued success.€?
Written by Martin Taller of Trellis Consulting, the report says that the retail travel sector is in a time of transition, and seeks to provide a guide to developing a new business model.
