> The letter also stated that the U.S. travel agency industry processes more 
> than $146 billion in annual travel sales, accounting for more than 50% of 
> all travel sold, including more than 50% of all airline tickets, more than 
> 79% of tours and more than 78% of cruises."

> It is one of the largest stay a home opportunities out there as well, that
