Press Release Summary: It is estimated that baby boomers are retiring at a rate of one per every eight seconds for the next 20 years.
Press Release Body:
Gas prices are near $4 a gallon, milk is nearly $5 a gallon, the cost of living is going up with the economy heading downward. Westbay can offer a way to stay ahead of these disturbing trends.
Westbay is backed by a seven year old, publicly traded company that offers travel and does it better than the big name online travel companies. They offer the airfare, hotel, car rentals, cruises and much more.
Studies have shown that 85 percent of all travel is booked online and that the average family spends an estimated $4,200 annually on travel. This includes the ever increasing population of baby boomers. And did you know that 42 cents of every dollar spend online is spent on travel? That's an astounding statistic.
It is estimated that baby boomers are retiring at a rate of one per every eight seconds for the next 20 years. And remember, the size of the baby boomer population is 76 million - and they have exceptional buying power. For the next 20 years or so, they will offer unprecedented revenue opportunities for businesses or specialized industries which approach the baby boomers with products and services that appeal to their special needs and wants. Travel is one of their special desires now that they have quit the work force.
Having a "Plan B" - meaning another source of income - is a good idea not only for people whose jobs are in jeopardy, but for everyone in these economic hard times. Westbay can help. There are currently two positive trends that have overcome the economic hard times and that are the travel industry and retiring baby boomers.
Many companies are sending their workers home, meaning they are beginning to start working from home businesses and startup companies from the comfort of their own homes. Some people, especially retired baby boomers who have been working in an office or some type of stable factory for their entire career, may have concerns about working from home and this is normal, it's a leap of faith and Westbay can help you with everything there is to know about working from home, the travel industry and the numbers needed to have a "Plan B."
