For those who aren't interested in booking their flights on line, the Internet can still help with travel plans. We just want to be the shortest route between a customer and travel information. The Internet is continously updated, and therefore, is far more timely than the annually published travel guides. This can be crucial for such areas as a currency exchange rate, the political situation in a volatile country, or the latest weather on another continent. In addition, Web sites provide detailed information that guides cannot cover.
Some hotel chains allow users to see photos of different rooms.
Car rental agencies will allow a customer to confirm a reservation or get specifics on the type of car they may rent. Also, the Internet provides access to resources such as detailed maps, restaurant guides, and walking directions between attractions, among a host of others. And, there are more even more conveniences waiting for the traveler who is technologically savvy. Expedia, for example, sends e-mail when fares fall to a new price. The Internet can let you know.
