Travel Merchandising
• Most travel suppliers have not recognized the shift in customer needs
• Allegiant Airlines, however, positions itself as a travel merchandiser – not simply an airline
Advertising, referrals, non-air promotions include hotels, car rental, and events
30% of revenue is not fare-related (2X airline average)
