WHY IS FLIGHT TICKET FARE NOT DROPING?

SIX REASONS WHY YOU NEED A TRAVEL AGENT

 

Save time. An agent can save you time by vetting thousands of flight and hotel options to find the right fare at the lowest rate. "There's just a glut of information, and you need someone to make sense of it all," says John Peters of Tripology.com, a website that matches consumers to travel agents.
Stephanie Axelrod and her husband, who live in Fairfax, Va., used Tamalpais Travel to book a trip to Spain and Italy in 2010, and saved a lot of time in the process. "After we spent many hours on the Internet ourselves, we found using an agent made the whole experience more pleasant and less time-consuming," she says.

Manufacturing

Manufacturers add value to raw products by creating manufactured items. For example, cotton cloth becomes more valuable than a boll of cotton through manufacturing processes.

Processed foods and beverages (baked goods, beer, packaged chicken, and peanut butter) lead in the manufacturing sector followed by textiles (carpeting, cotton and synthetic fabrics, tire cord, yarn).

Ranking third is transportation equipment (automobile assembly, aircraft parts, military aircraft, missiles).
