Comparison of price between two tourism agencies
The tourism industry is a type of business that moves a lot of money to the return of the world. It is through it that many countries use their natural landscapes, historical places or other attractions to capture a large group of people to move the local economy.
With the arrival of Summer, several people look for diverse places to spend their vacations with the Family, friends or only alone. It is known that the tourist spends a lot of money on hotel, airlines and restaurants in the organization of their holidays.
For this reason, I have chosen to make a price comparison of two travel agencies and show that there may be price differences in services provided from one agency to another in the same period, helping any tourist in the best cost-benefit option for your trip.
The selected data were taken from the sites of them. They were chosen according to numbers of days, places and values by people who want to use the services of an agency.
Ten most wanted places were selected with their respective values and days of lodging of these agencies in Dublin so that such person can choose what fits best in your profile and evaluate your choice according to the cost/benefit of your dreamed holidays.
The prices chosen were compared to different months of the year 2019 found in both agencies. The lowest value of each agency included fights and accommodations for seven nights. The choice of agencies was made at random using the Google search site.

The collected data was transported to a section chart in Excel in the form of columns that would help to visualize the differences in price ranges offered for tourist wishing to travel to these places in the same time of year.
The values shown in the chart were taken into account only the lowest prices offered by the agencies according to the dates chosen, was not compared with the location and the type of hotel.
Comparison of price illustrated in a graph
According to the chart, we can highlight that in the same period can be found differences in values of the service provided. Because it is a travel agency, it is clear that it is impossible to hire a service without first making a comparison with other agencies, because depending on the period and the hotel the values have significant differences.
In some comparisons, there was a small price difference offered by the agencies, between 3 and 21 euros, as in the case of Algarve and Malta. And more significant, between 81 and 108 euros, such as Alicante, Costa Del Sol, Lanzarote and Majorca.
When researching a travel agency one must take into account the place and the period of lodging, and sometimes it is cheaper to be a little away from the tourist centres and pay for excellent service without significant expenses.
However, depending on the location the tourist can get tired due to daily commutes and waste time inside public transport.
The significance of this activity was to show that with a little patience and research someone can make use of the internet and make comparisons between the services provided by them.
It would be more effective if the tourist makes a comparison with more agencies. This way he could have an overview of what they had spent during his vacation.
In my opinion, the tripper when making an early booking will be able to ensure a quiet trip without added expenses. By taking care of the small details in the travel period, a big difference in the value of the package for the consumer occurs.
The cost/benefit of the service offered aligned with the fun and satisfaction is the most important thing when choosing a packed trip.
In conclusion, a search among different agencies and the purchase of the anticipated vacation package makes all the difference in the correct choice of place, as well as the price to be paid. Avoiding these unpleasant surprises with value and location and above all to be able to provide the satisfaction of the contracted service.
