Travelstart CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/\">Stephan Ekbergh<\/a> believes the breakdown in transparency occurs when traditional travel agents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quote airfares with exorbitant markup fees<\/li>\n<li>Lead consumers to believe they\u2019re the cheapest with clever marketing campaigns like the ever popular \u2018price beat\u2019 guarantees<\/li>\n<li>Force agents to mark their prices up by offering modest base salaries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The concept of an <strong>online travel agency in South Africa<\/strong> is still in its infancy when compared with mature markets in America and Europe. Currently 50% of all flight bookings are made online in the States compared with only 5% in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>However, as small as a 5% market share might seem, the shift to online travel shopping in South Africa is increasing as an ever expanding web savvy audience turns to the Internet in an effort to gain control over their own travel arrangements.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a title=\"Book Flights Online\" href=\"http:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\" target=\"_blank\">Booking flights online<\/a><\/span> allows consumers to see all the relevant options on one screen \u2013 enabling them to compare routes, airlines, times, stops and to choose which flights they want.
