Does negotiating with some clients make you feel like you are in an exotic bazaar?
Most travel agents have had the experience of price conscious individual and group clients price checking international arrangements in the destination country in order for you to match them.
Not surprisingly some of the prices quoted may be or appear to be less than you can obtain though a local Australian wholesaler. The situation has many similarities to web based pricing.
The important thing to remember in a case like this is the fact that operators in foreign countries are not subject to Australian consumer protection laws. While most foreign operators are ethical clients have no real legal protection if things go wrong or arrangements are not made in accordance with those quoted.
Is it worth the risk just to save a few dollars ?
A few critical pointers:
Are your clients being quoted apples for apples?
Is the price quoted to your clients Australian currency?
How long is the quote guaranteed for?
Most importantly do you get the same level of personalised and professional service?
