As with everything, the travel industry is evolving at a rapid pace and the way people are searching for and booking their holidays is changing.
Research shows that of all holidays booked in the UK, the internet is responsible for 90% of them. 17% of these are booked solely using the internet. Of a £41.1 billion industry, this is huge!! The remaining 73% of these holidays booked online, are researched first and then booked over the phone. Teletext is responsible for a further 9% of holidays booked in the UK.
This is all very interesting... Not... Well actually, yes... This means that high street travel agents are solely responsible for just 1% of holidays booked in the UK!!
It is arguable that figures are never an EXACT figure, but not having an online presence means you are missing out on anywhere in the region of 73% of all holiday makers!
Having looked at what a travel agent needs to be competitive, we have developed a complete solution for travel agents, regardless of size.
Every scenario is different, and we tailor a package to meet your requirements. From an entry level online presence, right through to dynamic searches (live price and availability data) and tour operator packaged holiday solutions, we can offer you everything you need to compete with the very best online.
We regularly compare the prices on our own system with those from our competitors, on a completely like for like basis. Thanks to the way the system has been built and the number of suppliers we have integrated into our system, we can offer incredibly competitive prices, and very often these are found to be cheaper than our competition.
Our system has been built in such a way that anybody who can switch on a computer, can use it. Not only does this mean it's incredibly straight forward for you to book holidays over the phone or in the shop, but your clients will also be able to book their holiday online without you having to lift a finger!
