Preferred Travel Agent Groups

Overview:

At the end of last year, we ended several consortia relationships due to non-performance.  This not only has had a positive impact on the numbers shown below, it has also freed up staff time to focus on other more productive revenue sources.
The new, more select, group of consortia enjoyed a 26% increase in revenue against a 12.54% increase in transactions.  It is rumored that Travelbyus will either file bankruptcy or be bought out soon.  Regardless, if there is not a dramatic turnaround within the next quarter, we will probably send a termination letter.
