Prefer Booking Vacations with Travel Agents
New York, NY, October 20, 2005: According to the findings of a recent study conducted by Galileo International, a leading global distribution system, and subsidiary of Cendant Corp., nearly 7 out to 10 United States adults (68%) are more comfortable booking travel plans through a professional still held in high regard by many travelers because of their personal service, destination knowledge, flexibility and recommendations. 65% of adults said the ability to sit down with an agent and discuss plans is a must have when it comes to navigating the confusing world of travel and making major vacation purchases.
The many ways that travel agents better serve consumers than the Internet include:
o The ability to book all travel plans, including air, lodging and car rental.
o Explaining just whats included and what you really get for your money.
o Clarifying offering such as refund and cancellation policies.
o Destination knowledge and often first-hand experience about destinations.
o Having access to the top industry suppliers and great deals only available to travel agents.
o Offering competitive pricing and the convenience of one-stop shopping.
