In this day and age of fast communication, corporate travel agencies may appear to be a dime a dozen. But if you've been reading the airline industry news lately, you're probably well aware of the awful situation that several major carriers find themselves in. Many travel agencies are being forced to fold because of realignment in the industry and the security concerns that many people still have after 9/11. The realignment we've just mentioned that affects so many tour operators and travel agencies is the explosive growth of the Internet. Well, to put a finer point on it, the shakeup is due in part to the rapid growth and success of such online travel agencies and Travelocity and Expedia . If you've ever searched for travel agencies on the Web, you know that there are dozens of them and that finding tickets is almost too easy in a way. It can be hard to sort through the mountains of ticket and travel plan information. To you who feel frazzled, we say, Hold on! Hang in there and keep looking. Your diligence will pay off and you will find a travel agency that can help get you a great deal. One famous travel agency correspondent is Peter Greenberg, who not only writes for MSNBC, but also serves as the main travel correspondent for television's Travel Channel. He has written a bestselling book called The Travel Detective, in which he discusses ways you can save lots of money and get great deals without being snookered by an unscrupulous travel agency. We recommend that you start your travel agency search on the Web and that you don't stop until you have found several competitive rate quotes. Online travel agencies should offer you strong service guarantees as well, so don't settle for second rate promises!
