In the earlier days, when there was no availability of tour operators or travel agents people had to encounter a number of difficulties as they did not anything about a new travel destination. They had to stand in the long queues at the railway reservation counters in order to avail the tickets. Even after so much of painstaking, there was no surety whether they would get the confirmed tickets or not. The story of the hotel booking was no different. They did not have much idea about the budget hotels of a particular tourist spot. Moreover, if they were touring during the seasonal months, most of the good and budget hotels were already booked. All these inconveniences took place due to lack of prior information and as a result a lot of precious time was wasted in searching for proper accommodation. But with the passage of time, people started receiving professional assistance in each and every important aspect of life including the travel and tourism.

In fact, it is true to much extent that the internet has played a pivotal role in the establishment of travel agencies in India. Ever since the internet was first introduced ...
... in India in 1995, the tourism business caught the pace and then began to spread throughout the length and breadth of the country. It is within these last few years, that it has spread even in the remotest areas and turning to a very successful business reaping huge profits. At the present, the travel agents in Kolkata are having tough times as the level of competition has grown up to a much higher level than in the early years. Every agent is prepared to provide the best offers and attractive discounts on the tour packages in order to persuade the customers. On the other hand, the customers are also benefited as they have a number of varied choices and they can select one according to the range of the budget. But often this also poses a bit of problem as well and puts them somewhat in a sort of dilemma.

However, people too have become very smart as far as selecting the travel agent or a tour operator is concerned. They are not very easily convinced or lured by these attractive offers. It is mainly because they do not want to take a second chance and have unpleasant experiences of the tour. They want to make sure that everything is alright and they have opted for a budget friendly tour package before finally nodding the head to say yes. Also before approaching the travel agency, they prepare a budget estimate so that the discussions become much easier and the agent will select only those hotels that fall within your range. It is also important to go through all the terms and conditions of the agency very carefully and clear the doubts if any. They can also take a set of other valuable information such as the local sightseeing places, the specific timings for the museums or parks if any etc.
