First Research Database

Today I looked at the First Research database. It is a business database where users can find out just about anything they want to know about a certian busniess or industry. The database also has business statistics for countries, cities and states. Users can view a cities unemployment rate or growth and development rate. It gives information based on the national average. I did a search on the Cruise Ship Industry. I found information like the annual revenue of the cruise ship industry. I also found out that ticket sales account for about 75% of annual revenue. I also found out about the industries demographic. Most passengers are 50 and above and are ranked in the upperclass. The articles goes on to give regional and international information as well as recent developments on the industry and much more. At the side of the article the industry information is broken into chapters. Users can view the industry trends, all the financial information, and industry forcasting. I think this website is very useful and could be really beneficial to anyone that is a busniess major or just looking for business information.
