I am writing a paper on airline industry trends.  One trend is more flights to emerging markets like Eastern Europe and China.  I need some economic statistics to supports WHY more business travel will occur to these markets.  But...I have to try to capture it in one or two sentences and site a source.

try the World Economic Outlook Database sponsored by the International Monetary Fund.  They show annual growth rates in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for a lot of countries, including developing countries.  You can also look at regional aggregates

Be VERY careful. It's hard enough to make money with an airline in a developed wealthy western country.\n\nI'd be looking to obtain a Government contract which you can be certain will be honoured as well as getting a very good understanding of the political process etc of the country. \n\nWho is your target market? \nWhat realistic opportunity is there for growth? \nIs the standard of living of the country expected to increase significantly?  etc. etc.

I think I would show the statistics for "people studying Chinese in the US is drastically on the rise" and information on the WTO.  I would spell out US (United States), WTO (World Trade Organization), and HK (Hong Kong).  Why do you think the trend toward learning Chinese, French, or German is on the rise among young Chinese Americans?  There are a few points you could elaborate upon with statistics or background information.

These links should get you started, and will lead you to many othr links.  If you consider they were each from different countries, think about that in terms of their perspectives.  \n\nGood luck with your paper.

try at least half that. usually 10-16% and almost no TA's sell airline tickets anymore, airlines stopped paying commission on them

Dear Jessie,\n\nAre you looking for thesis title suggestions?\n\nHow about:\n(a) The conquest and occupation of Iraq by America is neccessary/unneccesary for the stability of the Middle East.\n\n(b) The crisis at North Korea is a threat to the stability of the Asia Pacific region.\n\n(c) The bird flu is a health risk to the human race due to the advancement of global transportation capability.\n\n(d) Global climate changes are due to man-made influences on the environment.\n\n(e) China is now called the world's factory, can this stay true for the long term?

Look into how the bubonic plague outbreaks affected the economy in Europe. That is an excellent place to start.

I have no answer to this question, but my suggestion would be to use google.com and to try the advanced search with only .pdf files. Try to put some finding keys like "Ryanair finances", "Ryanair report" etc.\n\nI am writting a final project about the low cost airlines, and I`ve got a lot of useful information from .pdf files, more figures and statistical info. Good luck!

Usually any travel agency will give you all information regarding this matter. Did you check the one round the corner? :)

my mother was going to visit from az to il and travel by plane. the higher cost of fuel increased the cost of her ticket. she couldnt afford the ticket so cancelled her trip.the airliner lost her business and made no profit. multiply that enough times and theres a hefty loss to the company, business suffers.if we travel by car to her, the only value for us to drive to her instead is we'll have our own car to mosey around town. shes a spunky 78 years old and prefers to travel here than us to travel there. i'm pretty sure the gas spent to get there and back would about equal a ticket.

You should check out The Pentegon's New Map by Thomas Barnett and maybe email some embassies in the US for really booming countries like India and China.  Also, depending on how technical you want to go, you may want to look at Jan Aart Scholte's book Globalization: a critical introduction.

You need to ask a more specific answer.  Do you mean area or economic size?  Please ask again, but clearly state your actual question.

it's nice to see business opportunity around yahoo answers, however there is big issue of political restriction on raw materials in both countries, and you do need strong business partner in China. I am just wondering if you have even heard any similar cases successed? It might bring you some ideas.

Depends on a variety of economic factors. Every country has its own reasons for fluctuations.

Most airlines are poorly run, and with the increase in oil.  this will sound the death knell for them.  I would keep away from all airline stocks except for maybe jetblue
