Travel Agents May Go On Hunger Strike. . .

Yes, you heard correctly. Apparently Indian travel agents are so incensed about foreign airlines withdrawing their commission for selling tickets, the latest being Singapore Airlines who have taken away their 5%, that 5,000 of them may take this unprecedented action sometime next year.

How long before travel agents cease to exist throughout the world and everything is booked directly and online?

  1. I pity those travel agents but I guess the technology nowadays can carry passengers' additional burden for commissions on their ticket. People nowadays are technologically oriented and their are a lot of available gadgets that might help in booking themselves online. That will reduce the cost of traveling.
