I am a travel agent now and it is true we have had to change our marketing strategy but I have been around long enough to have a decent customer base and most of my customers are return customers. It really helps me because I know each one by name and I am able to work more closly with my clients and create a travel package tailored to their own needs and desires.

I prefer the safest way ! To go with someone or at someone’s place, where I am sure it’s all ok.

It's also important to stay loyal and transparent to the customer. I've seen a few ads for work at home travel agent and most of them rely on the agent's social media contacts to expand their client database. This is ok as long as the agents admit they're working for a travel agency and don't claim to give "personal tips".

I agree to your post, people today much preferred buying or purchasing online because they think they can benefit from it and it's much easier and safer just be aware of the scams. Having a website for your business will give you benefits.

The emerging tourism business is helping the still-suffering villagers rise from the ashes. Several travel agencies, struggling against a slump, have turned to Pinatubo, targeting foreign and local tourists seeking adventure, unusual nature or a glimpse of history.
