travel agencies

Vacation booking businesses

Travel agencies are businesses that arrange transportation, accommodations, and tours for travelers.

Before the internet, booking flights and hotels typically required visiting a travel agency or calling one.

Online booking has largely displaced them for routine travel, though agencies persist for complex itineraries, cruises, and group tours where expertise saves time: We booked our honeymoon through a travel agency.
