There is a very good travel blog page, where the general failings of the travel industry, to tell the truth are discussed. Click here for travel blog page.
To get the highest discounts from carriers, hotels, cruise lines etc; travel companies customarily purchase large blocks of seats, rooms, and/or tours ahead of time, advertise the product like crazy, and then incentivize the travel agents to sell the product under deadlines.
The result is that many travel agents are not acting in their clients’ best interests but rather steer clients towards products that they get paid the highest commission on, and/or sell clients on tours where they have openings to fill.

Travel agents also offer travel insurance frequently to clients which they also get paid a commission on, however if that travel agency were to go out of business, insurance law would not allow your travel insurance to cover you against their default.
Of course most travel agents do not tell you that. Travel agents who accept credit cards through Pay Pal will not likely tell their clients that they forfeit their credit card’s buyer protection when they do so.
It might be just a fun holiday for the client, but its serious business for travel companies and travel agents, so empower yourself by asking your travel agent for answers to simple questions.Of course most travel agents do not tell you that.

For example, if going to Africa ask:
Why is that location a good holiday destination?
Is it safe?
is it a Unesco Historical site?
Is it a natural wonder of the world?
What are some of the other activities available at that destination?
Why is that a good time to visit that destination?
Is that the best time to go for the weather?
Where are the animals migrating at that time?
Is that when there is a full moon on top of Mount Kilimanjaro?
What are the ocean and marine life conditions at that time?What is the best route up Kilimanjaro and why is it the best route?
Will the tour be private or open, custom or package?
How good are the guides and what types of vehicles are used?
What is your guarantee?
Be a lion, not a wildebeest. Always ask questions.
