A travel agencys main function is to act as an agent, that is to say, selling travel products and services on behalf of a supplier. Consequently, unlike other retail business, they do not keep a stock in hand. A package holiday or a ticket is not purchased from a supplier unless a customer request that purchase.

A travel agency is a retail business that sells travel related products and services to customers on behalf of suppliers such as airlines, car rentals, cruise lines, hotels, railways, sightseeing tours and package holidays that combine several products. In addition to dealing with ordinary tourist most travel agencies have a separate department devoted to making travel arrangements for business travelers and some travel specialize in

commercial and business travel only.

As mentioned earlier, there are given distinct function of travel agent working in the travel agency, most of which are important in order to serve as guide to the travelers. The tourist industry should be developed and promoted as a means of presenting to the economic stability and prosperity of our town and of enhancing the prestige and even relations for the hospitality we shown to the foreign and local travelers.
