In tourism, putting all your eggs in one basket can leave you vulnerable when the tide turns. While it’s tempting to lean heavily on a single source like cruise visitors or online travel agents, a truly resilient business spreads its reach across multiple markets. From Inbound Tour Operators and incentive groups to niche experiences and direct bookings, a well-balanced mix keeps your calendar full and your cash flow steady year-round. Smart operators know that diversification isn’t just a strategy, it’s insurance for growth.
