Why Use Intermediaries? History of travel
Selling through wholesalers and retailers usually is much more efficient and cost effective than direct sales
Fragmentation of the travel purchase and travel inventory, transportation (idea of “lift”), hotels, attractions, meeting facilities, restaurants, and so on.

How Product is described Pricing parity Channel profitability Communication needs to vary by segment (channel)
