By Land, Sea and Air

People are inherently curious, compelled by our nature to explore beyond our limits...seek new horizons. Historically, travel was limited to the select upper class, or to nomads, warriors, pilgrims, traders and explorers. With the advent of new forms of transportation, rising discretionary income and more leisure time, travel has become increasingly accessible to people of all walks of life.

When looking at any business, consider first the potential of the entire industry. Since 1965, tourism and travel has consistently ranked as the highest grossing item in world trade, generating US $3.5 trillion worldwide. It is the second largest employer, responsible, directly and indirectly, for more than 200 million jobs. By the year 2006, the industry is forecasted to double gross output to US $7.9 trillion and employ nearly 350 million people.
