online vs. travel agents
 
why do some people use travel agents vs. online bookings?

Some people:<BR><BR>-Don't have computers<BR>-Don't want the hassle<BR>-Don't feel the need to try and save money<BR>-Travel to more exotic destinations where tour consolidators actually get better prices<BR>-Don't really know where they want to go and would rather have an agent provide them with all the info than scan through all kinds of web material<BR>-Think the "internet" is evil

Some people:<BR><BR>Would prefer to have a travel agent help them when they encounter problems while traveling instead of being up the creek without a paddle when they book on the internet.
