Because of the internet, the old fashioned way to do business as a travel agency has changed in the following manner:
* Local travel agencies can now reach a wider population by having a website on the Internet advertising what if any areas of travel they specialize in;
* Potential tourists now can see a larger number of travel agencies that are quite distant from their home locations, thereby giving them a greater range of access; and
* Because of the two abovementioned advantages, pricing among agencies can be seen by the agencies themselves and by the potential tourists for comparisons.
