Transcript: “Consumers are realising that online companies are able to offer better deals than some of the big travel agents, as they have none of the costly overheads that come with a having a presence on the high street. A family run independent agency who apart from having years of knowledge will offer a complete backup service prior, during and after your travel arrangements Thomson provides staff training Westcliff travel offers tailor made holidays which is a great adantage as it is quite rare Thomson is a shareholder which is a huge advantage and also offers dynamic packaging Westcliff is an independant thats family run so it's more likely to be warm welcoming, friendly and specialised just right for you Westcliff introduces the staff online with abit about there travel background - pleasant, dedicated,interested in travel and do care Westcliff speciliases in travelling for buisnesses which is a massive advantage Thomson merged wtih First Choice to become TUI- outstanding achievement, phenomenal growth for both companies Thomson- 3/4 of their holidays are exclsuive to them holiday comparison site, allowing you to search and compare great deals on package holidays from some of the UK's greatest travel companies Competitve advantage within the travel and tourism industry means how all the different travel agent types e.g. Thomas Cook, Expedia, how they all literally compete and how they vary their techniques to become better than eachother Everything listed above gives both travel agents a exceptional amount of advantage over all the other agents. Alot of things such as the private jet hire that Westcliff travel offers or Dynamic packaging that Thomson offers it is all exclusive to them and thats how they gain competitive advantage. It is very effective because you most likely wont find it anywhere else therefore clients will go to that company and invest because the other travel agents do not have those product and services on offer. All holiday prices shown online includes: Return flights, all flight taxes, baggage, booking fees and Accommodation wide range; sun, city, ski and cruise holidays Get holiday quotes and deals by email to receive and view exclusive offers Variety of long/short haul destinations varying from Spain to Florida to Dubai online are top tips when travelling and captivating advertisements “5 Things That Will Surprise You about Amsterdam” or “34 Pictures That Will Make You Want To Go To The Maldives” Icelolly car hire Holiday blog “Blog at the Beach through the Lens of Instagram” & “Behind the Scenes Of The icelolly.com YouTube Advert” blogs are updated frequently Icelolly is a holiday price comparison site therefore do not sell tickets or actual holidays. They are a price comparison website for holidays which are provided by travel companies who advertise their offers on Icelolly’s site. Live chat increase opening hours Apps & social media interesting/interactive layouts in store more staff training availabe unique destinations discounts for regulars merged wth first choice to become TUI (growth) Dynamic packaging & racking policy ancillary services e.g. car hire & "select your'e seat" cheap, sun, luxury, winter, summer, beach, family, all inclusive, last minute, late deals, short/long haul, popular destinations shareholder provide top staff training & OTT window displays updated daily other companies try hard to copy them, but there are some things they just can’t do; 3/4 of their holidays you will not find them anywhere else (exclusive) Lots of their hotels highly recommended on TripAdvisor promotional activity e.g. TV adverts, competitions discounting for staff, children, last minute and price matches with other branches exciting layout in store e.g Bluewater variety of tranpsort, acommodation & destinations Thomson has almost everything you could ever possibly need except tailor made holidays and specialty holidays (sport) “Currency is a prime example of this and it’s still early days - we would expect over the next few years to see a further increase in people moving online as they realise the cost savings they can make on their holidays.” Alternative techniques In conclusion travel agents use exclusive techniques to have an adavantage over all the other agents. To gain further advantage they rapidly need to find and use alternate techniques to become even more succesful, as recent study's (2012) are showing that customers are choosing to book their holidays online as they are finding better deals then what in store travel agents can. The internet is also becoming exceptionally more convenient, and people are simply not wanting face to face service anymore as they can do it independantly just as quickly on their smartphone devices. There are a variety of alternate techniques travel agents can use which I previously mentioned and they need to take action quickly to gain competition not only between the other retail agents but also the world of internet before travel agents are shut down
