You may notice that how most of us would book our holidays has dramatically changed in recent years. Ten years ago many of us would have relied on our local travel agents to find us a good deal.
We would wander down the high street and nip into a few travel agents when we came to think about our next trip away and we would compare prices offered by different tour operators as we pick up a number of different holiday brochures.
When we compare prices, this would sometimes involve taking into account certain special offers that might be available, the number of people traveling, or any additional costs that are caused by the time of year such as school holidays.
When destinations, resorts, or particular hotels are what we are thinking about, then it's likely that what friends and family had told us, what we'd read in magazines, or maybe what we'd seen in holiday-related television programs might largely shape our opinions.
Without any doubt, the goalposts has changed thanks to the arrival of the Internet and its increasing availability to many of us. We now have the ability to research our chosen destinations online - we even have access to the thoughts of previous visitors to the hotels that we may be planning to stay at.
We can compare prices relatively quickly and also have more options in terms of how we structure our holidays. We are able to do more than just the narrow boundaries of package holiday market since we can book our flights and accommodation with far less hassle and independently.
It would seem that everything has gotten better. It really has, hasn't it?
Of all the information that has been brought to us by the Internet, do you know how much of that information is really reliable? The reviews listed for each location may vary from person to person, since everyone's experiences are different.
The truth is, all of us have different expectations of what is involved in having a good holiday.
It seems that, while holiday prices may well have come down, many of us are left looking to trawl through masses of information, much of which may be considerably less reliable than that once provided by the good old-fashioned travel agent.
Maybe we should take the "progress" provided by the internet with a small pinch of salt.
