The travel agency business has changed considerably over the past few years with a shift in buyer behaviour from the High St travel agent shops to the web. 

With less interaction with potential customers, the need to ‘sell’ is now more important than ever when dealing with customers on the phone or via email.  With online booking facilities on a travel website, the sales person is now completely out of the loop in the potential transaction making online booking perhaps more conducive to simplistic products such as hotel only, flight only, low cost package holidays or any product with a low level of involvement.  

Creating a good first impression with your website is important as with most businesses and a design that is pleasing to the eye is paramount.  Secondly and equally as important is ease of use and ability to navigate without issue.  Users will very quickly move on to a competitor site when they cannot find what they are looking for and with the cost of customer acquisition extremely high, this is something that you really ought to spend some time getting right rather than having to re-look at several months down the line when poor conversions are achieved.

A common mistake when running an online business is to try to do it on a shoestring.  After all, a website is the new shop window.  So what is normally spent on the plethora of fixed and variable costs attributed to retail premises, should generally be redirected to web development and marketing.
