The opportunity for Well-Being travel tops the list of up and coming specializations.  The report indicates that Sustainable Tourism and Wellness travel are number one and three respectively as the fast growing segments (wine and culinary was number two). 

Lastly it is profitable to specialize.  Nearly seven in 10 advisors (69%) said niche and specialty sales are more pro?table than their general travel sales.
