“Initially people looking for airline tickets or booking hotels had to go to a travel agent. With online travel agents, one of which is Tiket.com, people can get it through their respective laptops or smartphones,” he said.

What Tiket.com offers is a solution for the travel market. As a result, as seen today, continued Jeffrey, almost no more people who want to buy tickets come to the travel agent’s office.

“One or two people who come to the travel agent’s office may still be there, but very few in number and it’s more for buying special travel packages,” he explained.●
