Activity:

 

Travel Information Network, Inc delivers travel information.

 

The company originally developed a niche in the Canadian fax broadcasting market and over the last 5 years has evolved to include email and internet broadcasting technologies.

 

The company works mainly on the Canadian market.

 

Business Overview:

 

Demand is driven by business and tourist travel, which depends on the economy. The profitability of individual companies depends on marketing. Large companies have an advantage in being able to provide a wider range of services, especially to corporate customers, and to afford sophisticated websites. Small companies can compete effectively by providing service to a few large customers or by serving a local market. Despite automation, the industry remains labor-intensive; average annual revenue per employee at traditional travel agencies is just $75,000.
