Robert has worked in the UK travel industry for over 10 years and in
that time he has seen the role of qualified and highly experienced
travel agents change dramatically.
While working as Senior Web Designer at Flightline Essex Ltd, he worked alongside some of the industry's best &
brightest travel agents. Travel agents he believes are a great resource
that UK holidaymakers are choosing to ignore in favor of do-it-yourself
websites where you choose your flight, hotel and transfer without any
help from an experienced travel agent.
Before the internet took off in the UK, to book a holiday you
visited a travel agent whom you trusted to give you the best available
deal. The internet has changed all that in the last 10 years. Travel
agents are losing their jobs and their expert knowledge and expertise is
being wasted.
Robert aims to change that situation with TripEdge. Travel Agencies that hold ABTA or TTA & ATOL
licenses can sign up to the service that will put their travel agents
on the front line of a new type of customer oriented travel website.
