Travel Websites Are Generally Run By Travel Companies                                    

I used to be somewhat afraid of Internet travel sites, but nowadays I use them to plan virtually every phase of my vacations and business trips. You see, there is so much good information on travel websites that you can't afford not to use them. I remember the old days of vacation holiday planning. I would buy a Frommer's guide, call travel agents, read articles in back issues of travel magazines – it would all take forever. The Internet has revolutionized the travel business, both for the producers and the consumers. What used to take hours and hours of research can now be done in mere minutes. Even better, the information is updated so quickly they can always be sure that it is current. Nevertheless, there are a few things you have to keep in mind when you are using travel websites.

One of the biggest problems with all Internet resources is that it is difficult to evaluate how good or useful the information is. With published books, it is comparatively easy. You can look at what publisher publishes a book, research their reputation, and lookup book reviews. Travel websites, however, are generally run by travel companies. As such, you can only expect that they will try to play up the good aspects of a destination while playing down the bad ones. They may look like they contain objective information, but in reality they will do anything to sell you cheap airline tickets, hotel deals, or all-in-one vacation packages.

That is why I usually still consult with Frommer's or a Lonely Planet after I look at a travel website. The travel websites are good for the first stage and the last stage of vacation planning, but not very useful in the middle. They are good for picking out possible destinations and for making reservations, but between those two steps you have to double check the information that they give you. This still saves a lot of time, and gives you access to more information than you would be able to have otherwise.

A lot of the time, one of the best ways to check information is by making a simple phone call. Sometimes, the people who maintain the travel web sites are not the same folks who actually run the hotels, airlines, tour guide services, or other vacation related industries. If you can get them on the phone, you can have your questions answered and double check the travel information.
