Specialists Travel by Advantage
Homeworking, The Future of Travel?
The number of homeworkers in the travel industry has increased by approximately 10% every year for the last six years, driven by high street failures, consolidation and wider exposure of homeworking.
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the benefits of booking with a travel agent; how that personal touch, accessibility and trusted knowledge, are unparalleled when compared to a ‘machine’-operated OTA.
And, whilst brick-and-mortar travel agents will likely be rewarded for their valiant efforts throughout the pandemic with increased footfall, it is anticipated there will be a further rise in homeworking businesses too. Customers have become more accustomed to booking with a real ‘virtual’ travel agent, and some business owners are looking for a lower risk way to operate.
A flexible, cost-effective business proposition
The homeworking model offers unique benefits for business owners including flexible working hours, plus minimal set-up and operating costs. For many whose passion is selling travel, it is the perfect gateway to opening their own business or attaining a desirable work-life balance.
In the wake of Covid-19 and the brutal impact it has had on the industry, individuals who have lost their job, or their business, may see homeworking as an ideal option for getting back into travel again.
For others emerging post-pandemic, enduring exceptionally challenging times could be the catalyst for re-evaluating their business and longer- term goals; an opportunity to grow or diversify, or simply review their existing consortia partner and appraise other options.
