WHY explore travel resources on the Internet? |
2 |
In the very recent past, the traveling public had only two choices for
making travel arrangements.
One choice was to contact each travel service provider (airline, car rental
company, etc.) individually to make your reservations.
|
|
|
The other choice was to contact a travel agent to make all of the travel
arrangements for you.
|
Now, however, the traveler can choose to use the Internet to aid in their
travel plans. The Internet also offers multiple opportunities for the travel
professional:
|
The Airline Reporting Corporation is online
|
|
Trade magazines and trade associations are found online
|
|
Maps can be made and printed
|
|
Destination Information is abundant online
