Travel agents are present in huge numbers on the Internet and they tend to aggregate holidays from the major tour operators, giving customers a great resource to find a holiday without spending hours and hours searching every tour operator website on different days and different routes. However, an online travel agent is not necessarily the cheapest nor the most neutral, which means you could end up paying more for your holiday than you would if you booked the holiday direct from the tour operator. The ideal solution would be a travel company that sourced the holidays from the tour operators and travel agents for you, so that you could quickly compare prices, and then to make the booking there and then. Given this scenario, you would know exactly what you were booking and therefore not have the worry of incurring any extra costs from the travel agent.
Travel agents now work with travel.co.uk to provide such a solution. Here at travel.co.uk you can search and compare a huge range of package holidays and flight and hotel combinations from the top UK tour operators and travel retailers. While travel agencies will perform equally well in presenting a great selection of cheap holidays from well-known operators such Cosmos, Thomas Cook, Thomson and First Choice, by the very nature of their business, extra charges will be passed onto the customer. Travel.co.uk operates a very simple system where, just like online travel agents, holidays are presented in a simple list, but the price you see is the same as you would see on the seller's own website.
Travel agents' holidays on travel.co.uk are presented in a familiar format, which can be sorted by various means, including the name of the tour operator, the star rating, the departure date and more. Where travel agencies will treat the holidays on their website as their own product, the concept behind travel.co.uk is to create a valuable tool to simply compare the prices on the best holidays available. Once you have found a holiday that you like the look of, you can click to view more details or choose to book the holiday there and then, either online or with experienced travel consultants on the phone. With such a fantastically simple holiday resource, travel agents will become an outmoded idea. Once you have found a great value holiday with the help of travel.co.uk, you may never need a travel agent again.
