Summer's comming. Time to shift gears.
ASTA Convention takes on a mood of urgency, as thousands of TAs and hundreds of suppliers shift into high gear to promote and sell the enormous inventory of travel specials that become avalable every day of the week.
TAs will want answers:
*Domestic air up 3.6%
*International Air up 5.1%
*Cruises up 6-8%
*Car rentals up due to higher rates
*Arilines: D&I traffic up 3.4%; Seat Capacity up 5.7%; Passenger gain 4.1%
*120,000 new hotel rooms added to the US inventory in 1999
With all of the volume TA's are struggling to come to grips with declining commission earnings.
EXAMPLE: OCT/8/99 United Airlines cut commissions again with a cap of $50 on domestic tickets and a max of $100 on international tickets.
