IT AND THE TRAVEL AGENCY

Information technology (IT) is an important part of the travel business. Almost all suppliers, such as tour operators, airlines, and hotels have their own website. Customers can find information and make online bookings. There are also many 'one-stop' websites, like traveleasy.com. These allow people to find all the information they need on one website — for example, the cheapest deals on flights, or hotel accommodation.

Buying travel services online, rather than through a travel agent, is quicker and usually cheaper for the customer. Customers can also get more information about the services they are buying. Selling online is also cheaper for the suppliers, because they don't have to pay a commission to a travel agent.

Almost any job, from hotel reception to airline reservations, uses a computer. For example, to work for a hotel, travel agent, or airline, you need to be able to use a Central Reservation System (CRS) such as Sabre or Fidelio. If you want to work in IT specifically for the travel industry, you need qualifications in both IT and tourism.

When you apply for a job, you should always mention any IT skills you have, like working on spreadsheets, or designing websites. If you have these skills, you will be more attractive to an employer.
