Websites: Part 2 - Creating a Professional Website
Principles of Good Web Design
The value of a web site for a travel professional is real. Many continue to operate without a web site and even if they have one, without due consideration for basic design and marketing principles. However, consumers expect business operators to have a web site and the real question is more often the role the website will play in the overall marketing plan of the travel agency. The recent ASTA report titled 2013 Technology & Website Usage revealed some travel professionals using a Facebook page in lieu of a website indicating a degree of confusion about the role of both a Facebook page and a website in a marketing strategy. It’s worthwhile to again consider the role of a website in marketing your travel practice.
