Thirdly, they can be private sector organisations like:

Agencia Taveras, Viajes Alkasa, Travelwise, Turinter, Abreu Tours, Agencia Felix, Services Travel, Olas del Caribe, Ozama Travel, Rosedy

They promote and sell holidays for profit.

​

We can separate this last group into three categories.

Independent Company

Have one or more branches, which can often be close to each other. They sell their holidays to people locally and market them by word of mouth.

Multiple Agencies

​

Have branches in all major towns and cities and they can be part of very large tourism sector companies.

They market holidays on the basis of competitive Prices or special offer packages. In addition to this, travel agents can be members of trade associations, organisations representing travel companies who can help with marketing and protect customer´s rights. Of course nowadays many people prefer online do-it-yourself tourism to any of these organisations.
