WHAT IS MINTEL? Mintel Publications Mintel Services Product retrieval Retail audits Tailored research Global New Products Database Research Support/Consultancy/MIC The Mintel Information Centre (MiC) PR Research AbstractIn spite of strong travel bookings and sales in 2000, the softening economy during that year began to have an impact that continued into 2001.

But in 2003 the industry began to rebound, especially for domestic vacation travel.

There are a variety of factors at play in this change.
