Boston Globe Travel Agency

I'm not going anywhere.

"Business soaring for old-school travel companies; Baby boomers fueling increase in bookings" by Taryn Luna | Globe Correspondent   July 07, 2014

The Internet didn’t kill off the travel agent after all.

Classic travel companies were supposed to be dead and buried as online sites such as Expedia and TripAdvisor let travelers make their own, often cheaper, arrangements.

But full-service agencies are booking more trips, catering to travelers willing to pay an expert to develop smart itineraries....

Growth in the travel agency business is driven mostly by baby boomers looking for a more immersive experience from their vacations and able to pay for it....

I'm going to cancel the trip right there, sorry.

It's a rich man's paper for a rich man's world
