The Globe and Mail is reporting that many travel agencies in the Columbus metro area have closed their doors after months of low profits.
The Columbus Metropolitan Planning Organization says the closures are part of a broader restructuring that includes consolidating more than 70 locations into smaller, more competitive locations.
Some of the major new locations include:Blue Cross Blue Shield, which is moving to Columbus from suburban Dayton and has announced it will move to a new building in downtown Columbus.
American Airlines has announced plans to move to Columbus, as well as two other locations in the area.

The move comes as several major airlines have announced plans or relocations of their Columbus locations as they continue to make cuts and roll out efficiencies.
This comes as the number of people traveling to the metro region has plummeted, and many companies are moving locations to cut costs.
It also comes as a number of companies are announcing their intention to open new locations.
Last week, United Airlines announced plans in Columbus to open its second Columbus hub, a four-stop hub, which will provide more flexible scheduling and access to local food, entertainment and other services.
As of now, there are no plans to open a new hub in Cleveland and there are currently no plans for another hub in the Dayton area.
