In an age where Internet Exposure is touching new heights everyday, Travel Industry is contributing immensely to business transacted on the web. People spend huge amount of time to find the "best deal" available online from the plethora of travel websites that are available today.

While many would prefer to go with safety and surety of booking with their trusted Travel Agent, there may be situations where you would prefer to book your Travel Online or direct. Many times you have a friend who is working with a hotel and you would need to book directly or you have a membership with a Resort Chain or you have to redeem points for your stay or you have a discount deal going on your Credit Card or in some cases you may simply have a very good deal available online.

So what's the problem in just going ahead and booking your Tour Online? Travel Planning can be complex and stressful. One wrong, inappropriate, out of turn, uninformed booking can disrupt the entire itinerary and in some cases can even cause financial loss. Some of the areas where typically one can go wrong while booking online include

• Booking oneself at a destination on a day on which monuments have a weekly off.
• Booking hotels just based on a good deal rather than on authentic first-hand reviews
• Booking hotels at Wildlife destinations, without booking Safaris
• Booking International "Via" Tickets without taking into account Transit Visa Rules
• Making a booking without knowing proper Passport / Visa Requirements.
• Not booking in a correct / shortest routing order while booking a multi-destination Itinerary

Since you book online and it is an instant purchase, any changes after that normally have financial implications.
