Assessment brief: "Disintermediation is the displacement of market intermediaries within the supply chain allowing for consumers to engage directly with suppliers to purchase product. Widespread disintermediation of travel intermediaries was predicted as early as the 1990s, when it was felt that Internet technology would fuel competition and allow new online entrants easy access to the global travel market. More recently, increasing consumer demand for online retailing continues to threaten further the existence of traditional travel agency businesses within travel distribution channels" (p. 1).
