New developments in Internet technology, allowing people
to access travel information from their personal
computers and make their own travel arrangements, there
will be limit for travel agents in the future. Travel
benefits, such as reduced rates for around the world air
tickets, hotel accommodations provided by the airlines.
Constantly changing airfares and schedules, thousands of
available vacation packages, and a vast amount of travel
information on the Internet can make travel planning
frustrating and time-consuming.
To sort out the many travel options, tourists and
business people often turn to travel agents, who assess
their needs and help them make the best possible travel
arrangements. In general, travel agents give advice on
destinations and make arrangements for flight schedule,
Travel agents provide information on economy class,
business class and first class on World Perks, Skyteam
Star Alliance Around the World tickets. Travel agents
consult a variety of published sources for information
on departure and arrival times and air fares. Travel
agents also promote their services, using telemarketing,
direct mail, and the Internet. Depending on the size of
the travel agency.
An agent may specialize by type of travel, such as
leisure or business, or destination, such as Europe,
Africa or Asia. Travel agents spend most of the time
behind a desk conferring with clients, completing
paperwork, contacting airlines and hotels for travel
arrangements. During vacation seasons and holiday
periods, travel agents may be under a great deal of
pressure. Many agents, especially those who are self-employed,
frequently work long hours. With advanced computer
systems and telecommunication networks, some travel
agents are able to work at home.
Experienced travel agents can provide you with itinerary
for any sort of around the world air tickets with in 24
hours of regions such as North America, Western Europe,
the Caribbean, and the Pacific part. Travel agents must
be well-organized, accurate, and meticulous to compile
information from various sources and plan and organize
client’s travel itineraries. Some employees start as
reservation clerks or receptionists in travel agencies.
With experience and some formal training, they can take
on greater responsibilities and eventually assume travel
agent duties.
In agencies with many offices, travel agents may advance
to office manager or to other managerial positions.
Those who start their own agencies generally have had
experience in an established agency. Before they can
receive commissions, these agents usually must gain
formal approval from suppliers or corporations, such as
airlines, ship lines, or rail lines. The Airlines
Reporting Corporation and the International Airlines
Travel Agency Network, for example, are the approving
bodies for airlines. To gain approval, an agency must be
financially sound and employ at least one experienced
manager or travel agent.
There are no federal licensing requirements for travel
agents. The Internet increasingly allows people to
access travel information from their personal computers,
enabling them to research and plan their own trips, make
their own reservations and travel arrangements, and
purchase their own tickets. Further, suppliers of travel
services now are able to make their services available
through other means, such as electronic ticketing
machines and remote e-tickets. Also, airline companies
have put a limit on the amount of commissions they will
pay to travel agencies, reducing revenues.
However, many consumers still will prefer to use a
professional travel agent to ensure reliability, to save
time, and, in some cases, money. Projected employment
growth stems from increased spending on tourism and
business travel over the next decade. With rising
household incomes, smaller families, and an increasing
number of older people who are more likely to travel,
more people are expected to travel on vacation - and to
do so more frequently - than in the past. Business
travel also should grow as business activity expands.
Further, professional and related workers, who are
projected to be the fastest growing occupational group,
do a significant amount of business travel.
Several other factors also will lead to more business
for travel agents. In addition, Asia travel agents now
organize more tours for the growing number of foreign
visitors. Also, travel agents often are able to offer
various travel packages at a substantial discount. The
travel business is sensitive to economic downturns and
international political crises, when travel plans are
likely to be deferred. Therefore, the number of job
opportunities for travel agents fluctuates. Among
agencies, those focusing on corporate sales pay higher
salaries and provide more extensive benefits, on average,
than those who focus on leisure sales.
When they travel for personal reasons, agents usually
get reduced rates for transportation and hotel
accommodations. Earnings of travel agents who own their
agencies depend mainly on commissions from airlines.
Commissions for domestic travel arrangements are about 2
percent of the total sale, and for international travel,
about 3 percent. Travel agents also may charge clients a
service fee for the time and expense involved in
planning a trip. During the first year of business or
while awaiting corporation approval, self-employed
travel agents often have low earnings. Their income
usually is limited to commissions from hotels, cruises,
and tour operators and to nominal fees for making
complicated arrangements. Established agents may have
lower earnings during economic downturns.
