What are the top 5 offline travel agencies in North America and what %
of the market do they represent? What % of the market do small and
medium size agencies represent? Also, I would like the same info for
Europe.
Thanks Bobbie. The key piece of information I am looking for here is
the market share of those players you mentioned. I have seen this
ranking before and I know those guys are big, I just don't know how
big they are compared to the entire market...Can you dig further?
Jason,
I'll see what else I can find.
Was the European data helpful?
MArket share is provided.

?An ASTA study entitled ?Agency Profiles - October/November 2003?
shows that from 1998 to 2003 travel agencies are increasing in size.
Industry exit and consolidation, combined with increased use of
advanced technology, have reduced the number of small agencies while
the numbers of medium and large agencies have been growing over the
past five years. According to Travel Weekly?s 2003 Top 50 Travel
Agencies Survey, only three of the top 50 agencies have 100 or fewer
employees. These top 50 agencies account for over $73 billion in gross
travel sales.?
