The travel and tourism industry is basking with new ideas and innovations. The global travel industry is skyrocketing and changing its dimension with every passing day. The new era of the travel industry is packed with new technologies and a new army of travellers who dare to challenge the set rules of travelling.
Travel insurance, better air traffic and mushrooming travel agencies which lure their customers with a host of new and tailor-made tour packages are fast changing the face of the travel and hospitality industry. Travel agencies play a pivotal role in the evolution of the travel and tourism industry.
The meteoric rise of travel agents has fuelled the growth of the travel industry and made travel easy for millions of travellers around the globe. Travel agents are adapting to the changing climate of the industry and rolling out new ways to provide best possible deals to their customers. The emergence of the Independent Contractors model in tourism is one such model that has become extremely successful for travel agencies.
The independent contractor model for tourism not only creates an affordable tourism structure; it also increases the market footprint of an organisation. Travel agencies around the world are changing their way of functioning to increase their customer outreach and to build a new way of functioning through these independent contractors.
Independent contractors are setting a new trend in the travel industry that is also controlling the rocketing expenses of travel. The new breed of independent contractors are reducing the recurring cost of the brick and mortar travel agencies by slashing the soaring manpower. The surging unemployment around the globe and a steadily growing travel industry is complimenting the growth of independent contractors.
Independent contractors are earning their popularity amongst travel agencies because of their affordability and independent way of functioning and they are providing the agencies with the ease of doing business. Massive work pressure and the fright of losing a job is haunting millions of people around the world. Several developing economies are plagued by market meltdown. In the recent years, several people have opted out for a freelance career to balance life and career.
This new tendency amongst the working middle-class population of the globe is paving the way for the growth of the independent contractor model. This model has not only complimented the development of tour agencies by creating a lucrative business channel but has also opened a new window of communication with customers.
Independent contractors fetch the tax benefits for the agencies and also dip overall expense of the agency which they further use to knit lucrative offers for their target consumers. Most of the travel agencies hire independent contractors for a specific tourism project. This helps the travel agencies to extract maximum profits from a particular project and increase the customer base during a certain period of time.
However, the swell in the population of independent contractors around the world is also creating new hurdles for travel agencies, as independent contractors are now demanding a secured job and long term association with the travel agency they deal with.
The independent contractor model of tourism is a true game changer for the travel industry. Presently the independent contractor model for tourism has successfully curated a new and consistent ecosystem within the travel industry. The entire travel industry is immensely benefitted by this new emerging trend. The growing and competitive tourism industry is in dire need of skilled manpower and at the same time, they need to keep their expenses in control.
Independent contractors are providing an amicable solution to this problem. The rising risk of economic meltdown is pushing more people towards freelancing. This new bent is extremely beneficial for the development of the independent contractor model of tourism.
The stringent tax reforms in many countries and demands for better job benefits by independent contractors is restricting the growth of the independent contractor model of tourism.
