Go Global, Book Local – Local Travel Agents Deliver on Global Travel Bookings

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 15, 2010 -
Travel experts BookCheapHolidays (http://bookcheapholidays.com), or BCH, have hit a winning formula by combining people with technology to offer a 'best of breed' low cost holiday service. The result? Online holiday bookings with a difference.

“There are hundreds, if not thousands, of low cost holiday portals and sites,” says BCH's director Tracey Sheargold “but we feel very strongly that having a team of travel experts at the end of the phone delivers a much better, richer consumer experience, one that knocks spots off the rest.”      

Even more unusually, BCH's Live Helpline is staffed by the business's owners themselves. You won't be transferred to a call centre and you won't have to deal with inexperienced call handlers. “We feel that if you genuinely believe in your business, you should be more than happy to put your money where your mouth is... or in our case, put your our mouth where our money is!” adds Sheargold.

Since they're an independent travel agency, BCH has access to all the major tour operators' latest and best deals. They even incorporate airlines and accommodation providers, so you can use the site to track down cheap accommodation (http://www.bookcheapholidays.com/Cheap-Hotels-and-Apartm ...) and cheap flights (http://www.bookcheapholidays.com/Flights.aspx) too. BCH specialises in low cost global holidays and as a member of Advantage, the UK's biggest travel agent consortium, gives their customers access to new holiday deals the moment they're released.

It's one thing to have a successful online holiday portal. Providing telephone support takes the online holiday business model a step further. But giving customers the chance to take advantage of decades of travel industry expertise takes BCH's hybrid offering to a different level altogether.

“Going local for your global travel bookings gives you the best of both worlds” concludes Sheargold. “Whether it's cheap weekend breaks, last minute holidays (http://www.bookcheapholidays.com/Last-Minute-Holidays.aspx), special seasonal promotions, clubbing and activity holidays (http://www.bookcheapholidays.com/Cheap-Active-Holidays.aspx), you'll get excellent flight connection and tours advice from us, a team of travel experts that understands the holiday market from the bottom up.” she comments. “And it doesn't cost our customers any more than using an online-only holiday portal. In fact our prices are some of the lowest you'll find anywhere on the internet”.
