wow, how intersting!!!
its nice to know how people rates us travel agents, some of you obviously dont get good service from your local agents, i work for one of the large agents and yes we use our own tour ops as a first choice but i personally have targets to achieve and if i cant find the right deal for my customer i will search all other tour ops and diy the holiday
i know its nice to get carried away at home when searching your holiday.but the amount of customers who call into our office after booking on line who just want a bit more advice or help or questions answered (because unlike us the computer cant answer all questions) some times i personally want to say i wasnt good enough to book your holiday so im not going to answer your questions! but being a good person im not like that!!!
i personally would book through an agent for the knowledge, the experience the face to face contact and the help and advice if i did have a problem the resurance that i would get help, so what if its a few more pounds, emagine how much it would cost you in phone calls if you had a problem and then you have to talk downa phone to a complaints dept who dont care your just another complainer.........................
well thats my moan for tonight
Always use our local travel agent have for the past 20+yrs First class service and as I work overseas they take care of everything,actually just sent an email for them to book us to Barbados for March 2008 could I get it cheaper on the net yes by about 250quid who sorts out problems if booking on the net goes wrong ME,who sorts it if I book with our Agent them, peace of mind.
in travelmole that there appears to be a renaissance for those travel agents that have adapted to the net, one manager of a travel agents in london, even quoted that, people are returning to them to book their hols, she said they were affected at first by the net, but then they have won their business back,
could this be a new trend?
hi i read recently, that people are returning to traditional methods to book holidays, and that thomson shops are reporting a 3% rise in shop bookings than last year. Does anybody think that this is a short term blip, or could it be a long tern trend, for travel agents as a whole?
