The most important tool for attracting customers to travel agencies is, of course, websites, on the pages of which are placed the offers of a particular company.
Today, many travel agencies have their own web resource, but not all of them fall into the field of view of potential customers. Why is it happening? Mainly because they do not use all possible Internet resources to promote their offers or just do not know about their existence, and sometimes they just do not see the need to use such tools for promotion their web projects on the web.
