The world is getting more connected and digitized each passing day. The speed and availability of technology has been growing unprecedentedly for some years now, and today, we have innumerable travel apps and websites to ease our travel plans and sort out the itineraries. Modern technology can help us book our tickets, sort out the accommodations, help us with rentals, etc.
In this super connected world, do we really need offline travel agents and planners anymore? Are travel agencies even relevant today? More such questions have been swirling around us? Today, I shall take some time out to clarify.
Travel agencies have remained a staple in the travel and tourism sector. They have not only survived against these digital threats but have also witnessed massive growth in certain sectors. One of the most important reasons travel agencies have survived is that travel websites and online portals, instead of narrowing down the choices as they promises, fail to do so. Their increased availability has made it extremely difficult for travellers to compare and choose between different plans available online. And most of all, the corporate travellers don’t exactly have that much time to scroll between 75 pages for a few-days business trip.
While there’s an app or a website for almost everything travel, there are some things humans excel at. And that is making connections, forming personal relationships and pulling off the impossible. Travel agents know more about traveling than most of the people out there; they have extensive industry knowledge and relations with executives outside their cities and countries. And this makes it possible for them to access additional features and benefits which the websites fail to provide. Also, their extensive knowledge helps them to customize special plans just for you.
One of the greatest values a travel agency can provide you is by saving your time. Online travel bookings, as we all know it, are pretty time consuming. A study by Google shows that an average traveller conducts more than 30 searches and checks out 350+ web pages in two months. On the other hand, a travel agent can substantially reduce the time you put into travel bookings.
Another benefit that a travel agency renders is that it acts as a cushion to fall upon. Most of the travel plans involve problems, and let’s just be honest here; online portals are a real pain when it comes to delays and errors in flight and hotel bookings and other such issues.
As a proficient travel agency, at Sehgal Transport, we not only help you save your time and money, but also help you plan your trips, solve the problems you face while travelling with us. Make sure to book us the next time you plan a trip to North India.
