The
travel industry http://goo.gl/DYZuiu
has undergone a major makeover with the introduction of the online
travel
software
and the consequent implementation of travel
apps.
Earlier planning a vacation was thought to be a task that required
intense management skills. We have to go to a travel agent for
airline booking or rail booking. Making a hotel reservation was again
done through a travel agent or was accomplished after reaching the
destination. We would have very vague idea about the “must visit
places” at the destination, and would have to hire a travel and
tour guide for the same. Similarly arranging a car rental at the
destination of visit was done by coordinating with the local travel
agent or the hotel.
The
situation at present is totally different from the statements
mentioned earlier. Now we don’t visit a travel agent for airline
booking or hotel booking and we don’t contact travel agencies for
car rental booking. We don't require a travel guide to tell us about
the places to visit at our travel destination nor do we depend on
anybody to tell us the direction of a place. Have you ever wonders
how the process of planning a vacation have become so smooth and
peaceful in the present times. Now I have the privilege of making
airline reservation, rail reservation, hotel reservation, car rental
reservation and planning the trip sitting at the vicinity of my home
or office or any other place of my comfort.
The
big question is, how this happened? This advance stage in the travel
sector was achieved through the implementation of technology.
Technology came in the form of development of travel
agency software
and travel
apps.
The travel agencies too have undergone a major makeover and now when
we think of travel agencies, the picture that comes to our mind is an
automated system which has all the information and facilities
required to plan my trip.
Travel
software
have been very beneficial for the travel agencies as it has bought a
total change in the way the travel agencies used to work. Now a
travel agency doesn’t depend on the traditional system of using a
pen and paper to keep track of the transaction or depend on
handwritten information pertaining to the details regarding dates and
availability for airline, rail and hotel reservation.
Travel
agencies now have an online booking system, where global distribution
system integration helps in making all information including
availability and pricing available to the clients. The end-users can
compare the rates and availability and proceed with the airline
reservation, hotel reservation and car rental booking. Similarly
maintaining data, information and generating reports have become lot
more easier and automated with the help of travel software.

Benefits
from travel Apps
With
more and more people across the globe preferring to access
information through their mobile device, travel agencies now have
their own travel apps to enhance their business. Travel apps are
available for airline reservation, Rail reservation, hotel
reservation, car rental reservation, accessing travel blogs, planning
the trip and accessing the locations.
Travel
apps have also helped the travel agencies to respond to the queries
raised by the end-users at the earliest and bring enhancement in the
level of customer satisfaction. As per the research conducted on
travel apps, it was found that travel apps have helped the travel
agents to acquire more clients.
Our
vacation and travel planning has become lot more easier at the
present times. This was only possible due to the implementation of
travel
agency software
and travel apps by the travel agencies across the world, making our
travel more comfortable and enjoyable.
