Travel Agency

What is the Role of a Travel Agency?

The role of a Travel agency is to assist people who wish to Travel, either individually or as a group. The agency organizes trips, and it takes care of all travel requirements and procedures for its clients, as it is the one who books rooms in hotels, seats in transportation, in addition to organizing tourist trips. Accompanied by guides, it is also responsible for everything related to travel in terms of administrative papers such as obtaining a passport and visas that grant travelers the right to enter their tourist destination, and these tourist trips are organized for individuals and groups.

Travel Agencies are divided Into:

•  domestic tourism
•  Foreign Tourism
•  Reservation management (hotels - airlines - ships)
•  Public relations
•  Religious tourism (Hajj and Umrah)

There are agencies that have other departments.

 

Travel Agency Commission Source

The travel agency commission comes from payments made by car rental companies, Hotels, airlines, and organizations that provide services to travelers by the agency. These establishments pay a commission on every booking a travel agency makes, or on any ticket they sell, and travelers don't pay any money for most of the services offered to them. But you pay a price, set by travel agencies, for the task of entrusting the planning of tourist trips, especially individual trips, which requires a lot of time and effort. Travel agencies operate in most countries of the world, but in some Eastern European countries all travel agencies are owned and operated by governments, and there are standards of ethical behavior that travel agency owners abide by.
