BUSINESS CLASSIFICATION, SHARE (%) AGENCY/ADVISOR POSITION, SHARE (%)
Around 70% of those who responded to
the survey were ICs. This share has been
slightly higher compared to previous
Outlooks this year. It is likely because ocean
cruise is the entry level to selling travel and
thus sees a higher percentage of newcom-
ers and those venturing out on their own.
Of those surveyed, 44% of the advisors said
that they were ICs and 34% said they were
owners of their business.
