Over 55 million baby boomers are getting ready to retire. When asked what they intend on doing, Travel and see the world is on top of there list. Most of the baby boomers have been to the Caribbean, Alaska and England and Italy.

So where do they want to go?? Asia, especially China, Japan and India. They also are interested in Russia and eastern Europe like Hungary and seeing beautifully renaissance cites like Budapest.

The have cruised the Caribbean now they want to cruise the Mediterranean. River cruises thought Europe are especially appealing. You get to see several cites with out all the packing and unpacking.

Cruise lines and hotelers are in a building frenzy preparing to meet the travel demand of the baby boomers for more ships and hotels and they are barely keeping up.

Home Based Travel Agents that are specialist in specific destinations will be in huge demand. Example: if you need hart surgery you don't go to a GP, you go to a heart specialist. If you are going to China you don't go to a general travel agent, you go to a China specialist travel agent. One the that is an expert in that destination and can advise you on what to see and do.
