Specialization. This has been and remains an important part of the growth strategy of the travel agencies in Spain. Before the Internet boom and increasing competition, the key is to offer something different, and what’s more different than exclusive, which is aimed at a specific and very defined, luxury, relaxation, naturism, gay tourism , for ‘singles’ or single, and why not for women. This is how is born the travel agency specializing in group Ellasviajan.com female audience.

Ellasviajan.comEl fact that it is increasingly difficult to reconcile work with family and friends, often leads us to disagree when it comes to love and above all to make a trip. And so many people are opting for traveling alone. This is where they have room for this type of travel agencies, as available to travelers-travelers in the case of many possibilities Ellasviajan.com-locate ‘package’ flight plus hotel, travel, leisure complementary … and even locate a passenger who is in the same situation. Because, as said from the agency, “it is increasingly common for women traveling alone female company and choose to get away, aware of empathy between them to share similar tastes when it comes to travel.”

But does it really would be willing to spend some time with someone totally unknown to you, and you have been assigned by an agency taking into account that you share tastes, preferences and hobbies, and that only you know your name and your hobbies ? In view of events, seems to be yes, because the model works.

Rural tourism, leisure responsible sustainable travel … these are concepts that describe the tourist activity should be understood as everyone from now. Because if we are not careful with our environment, known as “green tourism” and not be so. To understand the trends and developments of this tourism segment, be sure to attend next weekend at the fifth edition of Ferantur, Feria Andaluza Development and Rural Tourism, which takes place in Seville.

During the three days of the event, associations, public bodies, companies and other industry players, come together to take the pulse of this world today and decide the strategy to boost rural tourism definitely as an engine of national economy , taking advantage of the ever successful and `summer sun and sand ‘has already begun to give way to other forms of tourism.

A single flag, more than 7,200 square meters, houses the fifth edition of this fair, this time, brings together around 400 exhibitors professional-download the program here at the fair. Craft demonstrations, tasting of organic produce, cooking contests and sweepstakes for stays in rural accommodation, and parades, in transmitting the importance of rural development and environmental sustainability values are just some of the activities to be held during the fair. Their goal: “to live the rural world as you can not imagine in one place, a place unique,” reads the legend as Ferantur.

Ever had the feeling of having to give thanks that let you fly on an airplane? In addition to the prohibitions and measures increasingly demanding, if not absurd, ‘we must pay for almost everything and more and more. First came the weight restrictions on luggage, the excess can lead us to pay an extra cost, then the size of hand luggage, then alarm bells for the transport of liquids, and even have heard and read how some companies have posed charge their passengers to go to the bathroom. But, can we go further?

Despite the incredible as it may seem, you can. A company ‘low cost’ china, Spring Airlines, has announced it is considering making its passengers flying feet. It’s not a very comfortable, but cheaper for the airline, as it would make it even more space it occupies a seat, a 40% increase in capacity, and reducing costs by up to 20%, as estimated of the airline.
It appears to have taken this decision because at present does not have the aircraft needed to maintain the new scheduled routes, thus justifying the travelers go up. In this way, serves to increase the capacity of the aisles and meet their objectives. But if you really do not have the necessary infrastructure, why has proposed new routes? It all sounds like an excuse to increase their profitability at the expense of passengers and their comfort, but not out of pocket, because none have been told to lower the cost of travel ticket as if the cargo is involved.

As expected, the start of the summer season is packed with special offers, discounts, gifts and benefits for travelers who come to a travel agency to buy your ticket for this summer. And sales of the sector, marked by flu crisis and do nothing but fall empicadas. The agencies have no choice but to resort again to the famous ‘price war’ to achieve their sales go up in peak season now. Although it is certainly not the best strategy for survival.

The forecast for this summer already points to a 10% drop in retail sales, according to professionals. Hence, agencies are already seeking ways with which to alleviate this fall, although perhaps a bit late now … If it’s true what they say, you can travel with discounts of between 20% and 30% or even 60% in case of companions, if you buy your tickets before a deadline, proposed by each company.

But as in any war, there are always losers and few winners. The second would be the big groups and vertical networks-including Viajes El Corte Ingles, Globalia and Marsans-who monopolize more than 50% of the sector offices, while family firms and the smaller will be the hardest hit with this battle for the tourist at any price. Perhaps this is the end of many of them, they can not survive on two fronts: that of the general crisis and the sector.

In fact, professionals have warned that “what you pay for.” We’ll see what happens after the summer, because the machinery of the discount, bargain offer and is already starting.
