It's Cheaper to Buy Your Holiday From the Web…. Or Is It?
By Nicholas McKay, Managing Director, Travel Designers

The UK travel industry has witnessed the most dramatic changes at a frightening speed. We have seen the four major operators become two –; and the traditional distribution model has also collapsed, with holiday sales made via the web rising from single figures to over 50%. All within the last year!

Do please take time to think again if you are about to rush into organising your travel plans on the web. Here at Travel Designers we caution you first to stop and consider this - BUYING FROM THE WEB IS NOT CHEAPER and WE BEAT IT IN 90% OF CASES

Along with the savings, you will have the benefit of having an award winning travel agency on your side if anything goes wrong - for example passengers booking during the recent period of a BA strike threat were re-protected onto other flights within two hours of the strike being called.- back up arrangements in place - those who booked on the net were left hight and dry with no support.

Those other small details, such as arranging babysitting, a special dinner, a spa treatment etc. - all arranged with our specialist guest relations manager. - now you can't get that from a faceless computer screen !

The lines of distinction between both these channel levels have disappeared, being replaced by travel providers, who have the ability to tailor-make exactly the holiday of the customer’s choice, for a better price than the web. How is this possible?

Being an independent ATOL bonded retailer, we are not limited by brochures or third party suppliers. Customers can select the hotel of their choice, put together with the flight of their choice - be it a no frills flight, charter or schedule - and for the duration they want. In short, it is exactly the holiday they want and not what the major travel companies want to sell to them. Combine these elements with private resort transfers, or competitive car rental and the benefit, consistently, is massive savings on the holiday booking, and above all - All with the full financial backing of ATOL.

Not everyone knows exactly where they want to travel. Many of the holidays sold via the web are customers returning to their favourite haunt. Days can be spent surfing the web trying to look for that elusive, perfect holiday. The team at Travel Designers really can help with making that important holiday choice, while also saving precious time and money.

Please do give us a call on 0207 720 8484 or call in to our offices at Travel Designers, 6 Old Town, Clapham, SW4 0JY (Opposite the Fire Station in the Old Town) and let us turn your 2010 holiday dreams into reality.
