Interesting. I have a client who has a booking engine for their very specific education tour company and have been wondering if I could port the software for resale. They sell direct to the traveler no agents or 3rd parties so it works well for them but I've been curious if this model is adopted widely..

I don't know enough about the larger industry and what barriers there are to entry however. What kinds of tour operators in Europe are blocking entry to the market? Is this just tour groups making certain hotels exclusive, or the booking sites?
