The travel business

1) There are more and more people in the modern world travelling for business – and pleasure – on more planes, trains, ferries and long-distance coaches than ever before; more people staying in hotels; more holiday resorts which they can visit.

2) The travel industry is a ‘big business’. Not only has travel become faster and easier; it has also become more competitive, as airlines, hotels and travel firms offer their customers all sorts of ‘cut-price’ tickets and package holidays. If he doesn’t want to pay more than is really necessary, the man-in-the-street often needs expert advice – the advice of the travel agent. He also needs someone who will book his hotel, issue his tickets, arrange insurance and perhaps hire a car for him. These are all part of the travel agent’s service. The work of the travel agent today would not be possible without the help of telephone and of course the computer. A firm using a computer can see immediately on a special screen if there are free seats on a flight or if certain hotel rooms are available.
