Destination wedding has become big business over the past few years, and savvy home based travel agents are bookling them. This year, in particular, may turn out to be a very good year for the destination wedding as couples discover that they actually make economic sense.
Couples who have been scrimping and saving for their big day are not about to let the recession stop them and are looking for a grand, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Either way, the economy actually presents an opportunity for home based travel agents who do destination weddings.
As for what they’re willing to spend, a March 2009 survey conducted by The Knot says that a majority of brides indicated that their wedding spending is proceeding according to plan—a credit to the determination of brides.
Destination weddings make up a $10 billion-plus industry—and growing. From beaches at sunset, to cruises, to hot-air balloons, there is a wedding out there for everybody. Your role as a travel agent is to find the one that is right for your client.
Travel Agents that are host members of www.homebased-travelagents.com should go to their "Travel Agent Resource Center" back office and click the Free Travel Agent Training Webinar on how to sell honeymoon destinations and weddings.
