New tours, new destinations and early bird savings. The internet may have changed the way travellers do their research, but brochures are still one of the best and popular ways to obtain travel information.
But the frequency in which brochures are released can often make it difficult for agents and travellers to keep track of what’s new in the market.
KarryOn is hoping to alleviate some of the effort, with our weekly section covering the latest brochure releases.
Be sure to check Need To Know every Monday to find out what’s new in the brochure world.
