A reduction in travel costs has boosted the global travel agencies market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.60 percent from 2015-2019, says research firm TechNavio.
While travel agencies have seen strong competition from travel planning websites in recent years, the deals and packages accessible through agencies have remained one of the main market growth drivers in this industry.
The latest report by TechNavio focuses on an increase in creative tourism as part of tour packages that are provided by agencies. This kind of tourism primarily targets travelers with specific, themed interests such as architectural history, adventure tourism, photography, art, food and other cultural elements.
“This theme-based tourism is rapidly gaining popularity among travelers, and agencies are attempting to produce innovative package deals,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.
Additionally, consolidation in the industry is also boosting the Global Travel Agencies Market. The adoption of technology has made the market landscape more competitive, thus resulting in staunch competitors forming alliances and partnerships to secure strategic benefits and maintain market share. Acquisitions of smaller firms by large powerhouses will gradually make the market less competitive over the projected period.
