The economic crisis has hit the travel industry also. There are airlines, hotels, tour companies, cruise lines and travel agencies that are feeling the pinch. If you are booking on line what do you know about that company? How long have they been around - could it be a scam outfit that just started up? If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
We at Village Travel are members of the American Society of Travel Agents - we get emails from them daily - the keep us updated with companies that may be in financial trouble. We are also a member of a consortium Results - we also receive updates daily from them. The travel insurance we sell has a watch list that we check - they will list what companies we should not sell. It is part of our customer service to advise our clients of a potential trouble spot.
During these tough times it is better to stick with someone you know and an actual person you can talk with if there is a problem.
Remember you are on your own without a travel agent!
