Travel for sale

Article Abstract:

Travelers can choose to visit a live travel agent for special holidays, where they want the agent's information and they can bypass the retail shop front and go direct to the source to find out the cost of flights, accommodation, tours, car hire and package holidays through Internet and can pay online rates. This has helped the travelers to access to the best available airfares on the Internet and has prompted some Australian airlines to cut their commissions to travel agents.
