Many things have changed with the travel agency and many things have stayed the same.
Once upon a time, when people wanted to book a trip they went to see the travel agent.
Travel businesses could be found on a high street with heavy pedestrian traffic, the travel agent was the start of vacation dreams for several decades – until a new, flashier kid arrived on the block.
Modern technology has made the life for travel agents and holidaymakers changed forever.
Now, we can go online and find the best deals to suit us, all without paying a hefty arrangement fee to a travel agent.
It’s simple, easy and can be done from the comfort of your living room – but the travel agents aren’t going out of business just yet… so what’s stopping everyone converting to internet holiday booking?
Difference between online and high street travel agents:
1) Online vs Face to face
2) Do -It-Yourself vs Done For You
3) Non-personal touch vs Personal Touch
High street conventional travel agents is the face-to-face factor.
With a conventional travel agent, you can sit down and discuss your needs with an actual person, and you can get recommendations as you browse.
The internet loses this personal sense a little, and may explain why some have yet to discover the joys of internet holidays.
The main concern, however, appears to be concerns about internet safety and passenger protection.
Holidays are expensive – that’s a given – and many people just don’t feel comfortable tapping their credit card details in to a faceless computer.
If that’s why you’ve yet to book a holiday online, rest assured.
Use the usual security checks before entering card details, such as a ‘https’ is the web server or a small padlock icon on the address bar – these usually mean a site is security protected, and you’re good to go.

4) Great incentives given to travel agents to pass on to travelers
