A travel agency is a retail business, that sells travel related products and services to customers, on behalf of suppliers, such as airlines, car rentals, cruise lines, hotels, railways, sightseeing tours and package holidays that combine several products. In addition to dealing with ordinary tourists, most travel agencies have a separate department devoted to making travel arrangements for business travelers and some travel agencies specialize in commercial and business travel only. There are also travel agencies that serve as general sales agents for foreign travel companies, allowing them to have offices in countries other than where their headquarters are located.

Is a Travel Agency a profitable business to own?
Q. I want to own my own Travel Agency but i want to have a business that would be very lucrative and make a lot of money. I love to travel and so i want to own a business that is directly related to that. Plz tell me if i should pursue this since a lot of ppl go online to make bookings now and that can seriously hurt a travel agency.

A. My husband and I actually own an online Travel Agency. We just point people to our website and they do all their own bookings. They are given an 800 number if there are difficulties and the vendors will do the follow up. We love what we do. Our business has the potential to make as much money as the work we put into it. We help our customers when they need it, but the majority of the time they already know what they want. Why choose my website? Because they know me and our prices will match or beat the competitors 95% of the time. Please contact me for more info.

Do you usually book vacations online or through a travel agency? Would a travel agency be better?
Q. I want to go on a vacation and I cant decide which one to use. Would the cost of my vacation be lower through a travel agency? Also I dont have to worry about hidden fees through a travel agency right? I know with booking online there are possible hidden fees in really fine print.

A. usually dealing with a travel agency is much better in terms of trust and offers. travel agencies, most of the time, have offers and packages for hotels, tickets, etc. i recommend you visit the nearest travel agency asap.
