Travel Agency in Nepal:-
Travel Agency:- Travel agency is an axis of the tourism. The tourism activities revolve around the travel agency. The tourism is the result of the movement of the people from one place to another place and travel agencies generate the movement. So a travel agency is the tourism as a brain in human body. A mad person can services built but his action, thinking and behavior will have no joint effort. No planning and no programming. We cannot imagine tourism without travel agency because "tourism is the result of joint effort of the travel related jobs" and travel agency joins them together to from a travel industry. Without a travel agency a travel is possible but there may not be there.
Travel agents create trusts, security, confidence in the mind of tourists then only tourists travel for pleasure or they are able to enjoy during the travel, which is the basic principle of tourism.
The History of the travel agency is not very old. Thomas Cook first developed the idea of travel agency in 1841. He arranged a railway trip for 570 members of his society. He reserved the railway seats and sold them. This reservation and selling gave him a new idea that "service can be sold, people are ready to pay for service; service can be a product which can be sold and business can be run"
