    This one I guess, because another and company are singulars

    mishum2000,

    Agree that 3 is not good, but I think both 1 and 2 would be acceptable as they have slightly different meanings.

    I feel 1, with "any other type of company", has more emphasis and expresses a stronger preference for a travel agency than 2 does.

    Re: Which sentence is correct?

    I agree with 1.

    Like michael said,this sentence lays strong emphasis on the travel agency option being more satisfying than owning any other type of company.

    "Fear less,hope more; whine less,breathe more;
    Talk less,work more; hate less,love more;
    Then all the good things are yours ."
