The World's Largest Travel Agency By 2010

I have read where one MLM travel business is shooting to be the world's largest travel agency by 2010. This firm has only been around a few short years (less than 5 in the travel business really).

At their current rate of growth, it may indeed be a possibility. But, I also have to wonder if an amateur driver can actually pilot a race car in a race. Let's talk about Corporate governance for a minute as I highlight the experience of each officer and director. You can decide if their collective experience enables them to pilot a travel company to be the number one travel company in a few short years.

Directors

1. Former minister, former life insurance salesman
2. Son of a former minister, former life insurance salesman, Certified Financial Planner
3. Former life insurance salesman, friend of former minister
4. Real estate development and management
5. Franchise attorney
6. A CPA
7. A medical doctor that specializes in real estate holdings
8. Another attorney with interests in minor league baseball, car dealerships, and recording labels among others
9. A former professional sports Hall of Fame inductee

Officers

1. Former minister, former life insurance salesman
2. Son of a former minister, former life insurance salesman, Certified Financial Planner
3. Former life insurance salesman, friend of former minister
4. A man with executive management, corporate ops, administration, and marketing skills from an undisclosed company
5. Another man with corporate experience in mergers and acquisitions and financial forecasting

Now, how are these 14 men planning on growing a "travel" business to the largest travel agency without any background in travel--brick and mortar or otherwise? One might think that it makes sense to have some people with travel industry experience in a senior management role--or at least on the Board as an adviser.

But, perhaps, this is not so much about becoming the largest "travel agency" in a few years as it is about being the largest MLM company that is using travel to fuel their growth. There is a huge difference.

It will be interesting to see how these race cars are handled before they crashe into the wall.
