Pure dotcom company

It concerns companies which exist only on the web. The web offers them more flexibility and possibility to develop their activities as it requires less running expenses, for example in the travel industry many virtual companies have developed such as Opodo, lastminute, anyway,... They compete strongly traditional agencies as they can propose cheaper products at any time of the day. So some traditional agencies try to catch up things by being on the web and reducing expenses linked to their traditional activities. So They are closing more and more agencies to concentrate on the web even though the market is not completly mature since many people keep on buying some products (complex packages) directly to the agencies.
