нужно составить план по тексту на английском Sometimes a couple or a group cannot decide upon a place for a vacation. They need the services of a good travel agent, a person who knows what he is talking about. He has the latest brochures from airlines, shipping lines, bus companies, railways, rental car agencies, tour planners, hotels, and resorts. He also can give a lot of advice – for example, how to pack, how to dress, how much to tip, and many other details. It is always helpful to consult an agent. One of the most important services of an agent is to assist his clients in obtaining permits to visit foreign countries. Moreover, he always checks the validity of his customers' documents - passports, visas or tourist cards, and medical papers. The second problem the agent solves concerns choosing the right tour. Some who like to be on their own prefer unescorted tours. Others who are less independent feel more secure on escorted or group tours. Third, the agent gives advice about what to take, what to see, and how to act in other countries. All his helpful information enables clients to enjoy their trips more. Travel operators, specialists in the field of planning, sponsor extensive research programmes. They have knowledge of all areas and all carrier services, and they are experts in organising different types of tours and in preparing effective advertising campaigns. They distribute materials to agencies, such as journals, brochures and advertising projects. They offer familiarisation and workshop tours so that in a short time agents can obtain first-hand knowledge of the tours they are selling. Tourist counsellors give valuable seminars to acquaint agents with new programmes and techniques in selling. In this way agents learn to explain destinations and to suggest different modes and combinations of travel – planes, ships, trains, motor-coaches, car-rentals, and even car purchases. Properties and agencies work closely together to make the most suitable contracts, considering both the comforts of the client and their own profitable financial arrangements. Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels, and, conversely hotels rely upon agencies, to fulfil their contracts and to send them clients. The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers, including car-rental and sightseeing services. Carriers are dependent upon agencies to supply passengers, and agencies are dependent upon carriers to present them with marketable tours. All services must work together for greater efficiency, fair pricing and contented customers.
