Is it true that travel agents are still in high demand even though people can book their own travel online?
Although the Internet has allowed people to book their own basic travel arrangements, travel agents are still in demand for vacation packages, honeymoon trips, tours, and cruises. Furthermore, the advent of online booking has created a need for a new kind of travel agent…one who backs up the website. Each Internet booking site has live agents available to help customers with any challenges and assist in travel reservations. These sites use the Worldspan Computer Reservation system (which is taught at the Travel Academy) for making all travel arrangements. And remember, if you become a travel agent, there are a variety of opportunities in the travel industry besides travel agencies.
