Travel agencies are among Google’s most important clients and Josep Valor wonders if the search engine hasn’t shot itself in the foot with its application that allows users to search for travel bargains. Once users find the best offer they bypass the agent and go directly to the airline’s site to book it, allowing the airline to offer hotels and car hire, precisely the sort of business that has kept travel agents alive.

There used to be a travel agency in our shopping mall, but it closed because everybody nowadays books on the internet. And, lets face it, so do I. And my holidays haven’t lost fun and my wallet enjoys it as well.
Why not. I think it´s a good solution. Win-Win for all users.
This will put a huge dent in travel service agents. But, overall this is a win-win situation for Google and end-users. Why pay hefty commission to agents?
