GNU Free Documentation License Is a Travel Agency a profitable business to own? Q. I want to own my own Travel Agency but i want to have a business that would be very lucrative and make a lot of money. I love to travel and so i want to own a business that is directly related to that. Plz tell me if i should pursue this since a lot of ppl go online to make bookings now and that can seriously hurt a travel agency. Asked by Greanleaf - Thu Mar 27 14:52:07 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. My husband and I actually own an online Travel Agency. We just point people to our website and they do all their own bookings. They are given an 800 number if there are difficulties and the vendors will do the follow up. We love what we do. Our business has the potential to make as much money as the work we put into it. We help our customers when they need it, but the majority of the time they already know what they want. Why choose my website? Because they know me and our prices will match or beat the competitors 95% of the time. Please contact me for more info.
