Best Online Travel Agencies

Booking.com is our top choice for making your trip arrangements

Planning a trip can be easier through an online travel agency than if you handle each aspect of the planning separately. You can book hotels, air travel, rental cars, and more through a single site, and booking everything together sometimes results in discounts. By inputting a destination, a range of dates, and other preferences, you will see a list of options for each aspect of travel.

The best online travel agencies offer options from the largest number of airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and more. Look for sites that offer discounts for combining reservations for different aspects of your trip. For example, the best sites will have lower rates if you book both plane tickets and a hotel through their services. The best sites also provide reviews from customers who actually have booked through the service. These are our top picks.

Final Verdict

Frequently asked questions, methodology, best overall : booking.com.

 Booking.com

This industry leader offers one of the most comprehensive trip planning platforms on the Internet.

Lots of options to choose from

Interface is easy to use

Numerous filters to customize your search

Tricky to tell whether changes/cancellations can be made with Booking.com or the vendor directly

Booking.com was founded in 1996 and has grown into an industry leader that stands out for being one of the most comprehensive trip planning platforms out there. From one website, you can compare and book accommodations, flights (including one-way and multi-city flights), sightseeing activities, and even airport taxis. The website lists more than 28 million accommodation options, from hotels, hostels, and B&Bs to vacation homes and luxury resorts—you can browse more choices per destination on Booking.com than other online travel agencies. The website also performs well on cost and typically returns lower-than-average prices for flights and hotels. 

Booking.com's interface is also easy to use. On the home page, search for a hotel by entering your chosen destination and dates. Then, use the extensive list of filters—such as price range and distance from the city center—to narrow the results down and find the best fit. You can also search for a specific hotel, or seek inspiration by clicking through options grouped by destination or property type or by topic such as the country’s best Michelin-starred hotel restaurants or the top cities for vegan travelers. The flights, car rental, and other tabs are just as intuitive. 

Best Budget : Skyscanner

 Skyscanner

You can compare prices across airlines, hotels, and car rentals.

Simple interface

Option to toggle searches between specific dates or by monthly calendars

Search Everywhere button is great for spontaneous planners

Extra clicks are required to make a final purchase

Must read fine print for changes/cancellations—may need to deal directly with the vendor

Ads on the sidebar can be distracting

Find deals on airfare, hotels, and car rentals with an aggregator site like Skyscanner , which uses a metasearch engine to compare prices from all online travel agencies and the airline, hotel, or car rental company in question. Run searches with fixed dates, opt to compare airfare prices month to month, or click “Cheapest Month.” Searches also include options for nearby airports or non-stop flights only. With hotel searches, you can choose to select only from properties with free cancellation, a cleanliness rating of 4.5/5 or higher, or 3- or 4-starred hotels only. Car rental searches include an option to select “return car to different location.”

Once you’ve found the best rate, click on the link to be redirected to the third-party site to make your booking. Feeling spontaneous? The Search Everywhere button on the homepage offers a list of the cheapest flight deals for destinations both locally and across the world—just plug in your departure airport first.

Best Price Predictor : Hopper

The company claims a 95 percent accuracy rate at predicting when flights and hotel rates will be cheapest.

Color-coded system makes it easy to determine cheapest days to buy

App is easy to use

Option to track flights and receive alerts when the best time to buy arises

Some have mentioned the app functions better as a research tool than a booking tool

Unclear whether Hopper will price match if you find a cheaper flight elsewhere

Hopper is a travel app available on iOS and Android that aims to help travelers save on airfare by usng historical data and their own algorithm to predict when flights will be cheapest. Just type in where and when you’d like to fly and Hopper will present you with a color-coded pricing calendar indicating how much tickets are likely to cost. (Green is the least expensive, then yellow, orange, and red for most expensive.) Hopper will also recommend you either buy now or wait, or you can choose to watch a trip and receive notifications on the best time to buy. In addition, the app has expanded to offer hotel and car rental price predictions, too.

Some newer features since the app’s inception in 2009 include an option to freeze a price for a limited time—for an extra fee—as well as exclusive app-only discounts. Hopper is free to download, and you can choose to book directly through the app, though some users mentioned they use Hopper as more of a research tool before booking directly with the airline or hotel. The company claims a 95 percent accuracy rate at predicting flight rates up to a year ahead.

Most Innovative : Kiwi.com

This metasearch engine scours the web to piece together the ideal itinerary using planes, trains, buses, and more.

Creative itineraries get you where you need to go, especially if you’ve got a multi-stop trip

Kiwi Guarantee offers rebooking or cancellation protections

Nomad option appeals to travelers with a lot of flexibility

Creative itineraries mean you may not fly out of the same airport you flew into

Kiwi Guarantee has an additional fee

Charges all-in-one fee for booking flights, trains, buses (though you can always purchase a la carte)

Travelers planning multi-city destinations and seeking a bargain, as well as those looking to take planes, trains, and automobiles to get there, might consider Kiwi . Kiwi is a metasearch engine that scours and pieces together itineraries from various airlines (even if they don’t have a codeshare agreement), considers multiple airports (even if your arrival airport is different from departure), and offers booking options, whether you’re looking at very specific dates or more general ones (up to 60 nights).

Some will find the ability to make multiple bookings for a particular trip more convenient than going at it manually several different times, though note that you must opt into the Kiwi Guarantee program to access rebooking and refund protections should your reservation change or be canceled. Kiwi’s Nomad option allows you to plug in a bunch of destinations you’d like to visit and the length of your intended stay, and the website will churn out the most affordable itineraries for review.

Best for Eco-Conscious : Kind Traveler

A give-and-get business model means booking accommodations with exclusive perks, a donation to environmental organizations, and more.

All participating hotels include a local give-back component

Exclusive savings and perks

Participating hotels are located in some of the most beautiful places in the world

Inventory is much smaller compared to other booking platforms

Some of the amenities mentioned are based on availability only

In 2022, Kind Traveler (an online trave agency focused on hotel bookings) announced an increase in environmentally and socially conscious hotels, charity donations, voluntourism opportunities, and additional perks like waived resort fees or a welcome amenity.

Unlock exclusive hotel rates and perks from participating Kind Traveler hotels with a minimum $10/night minimum donation to a local charity. For example, stay at the Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives and receive up to $33 off the nightly rate and perks such as a food and beverage credit and an Earth Lab or Alchemy Bar workshop when you make a donation to Manta Trust. The organization funds coastal research to protect the island nation’s large yet fragile population of reef mantas.

Select from more than 140 participating hotels from the Hawaiian Islands to Bozeman, Montana, and the Maldives. Charities include wildlife, human rights, arts, education, and environmental preservation organizations.

Best for Social Impact : I Like Local

Choose from a host of travel experiences with the peace of mind that 100 percent of the cost goes directly to local partners.

Social impact mission woven into organization’s business model

Immersive experiences led by local guides

Range of experiences offered

May not be best fit for those seeking upscale, luxury experiences and stays

Can’t sort experiences by a list of countries (though an interactive map is available)

No experiences outside of Africa and Asia

For an online travel agency with a booking platform designed to route dollars spent directly to the communities travelers intend to visit, consider I Like Local . Visit the website to browse a host of travel experiences in countries including Indonesia, Kenya, and Cambodia. Experiences include homestays and farmstays as well as wellness and culturally oriented experiences—from cooking and cycling tours to weaving classes.

To search for an experience, select from drop-down items like travel dates and experience categories, or view a global map and click on a country to view experiences that way.

The platform got its start in 2014 and has grown to 4,000 local hosts across nearly 20 countries. As a social impact organization, 100 percent of each booking fee goes to local hosts. To date, 16,000 travelers have booked with I Like Local.

Best for Design-Forward Homestays : Plum Guide

Browse and book seriously vetted, design-forward vacation homes.

Highly curated inventory of vacation rentals across the world

Design-forward

Thorough vetting process

Does not publish guest reviews

Other platforms have homes available across more destinations

When it comes to booking a vacation home, serviced apartment, or condo, travelers are spoiled for choice. Plum Guide is an online travel agency that specializes in accommodations—though not just any home makes its directory. The company claims that each potential home listed on its site must jump through 150 hoops to be included, from internet speed and mattress and pillow quality to the showers’ water pressure and the home’s proximity to dining, shopping, and attractions.

Search by a featured collection on the website such as “ pet-friendly homes ” or “one-of-a-kind homes in Palm Springs.” Scroll to the bottom of its homepage to view its top destinations, as well as a list of all destinations where Plum Guide homes are available, including Barbados, Mexico, Portugal, Switzerland, the U.S., and Turkey. Note: From the top right-hand corner of the site, use the dropdown menu to select currency of choice.

As long as you know what you value most out of your travel experience—such as affordability, social impact, or luxe accommodations—there’s an online travel agency to help plan your next trip. Be sure to read the fine print, as some agencies are third-party websites and not direct vendors. If you're not sure where to start, Booking.com is your best bet for a smooth user experience and hard-to-beat offers on flights, hotels, and other travel arrangements.

What Is the Biggest Travel Agency?

Our choice for best overall, Booking.com, is known as an industry leader with listings for all major hotels, airlines, car rental companies, and more. It boasts more choices for accommodations per destination than any other site, and we found its interface to be user-friendly.

Are Online Travel Agencies Worth It?

This depends on your needs and priorities. The best online travel agencies certainly can save time by booking everything all at once. However, if you're someone who is good at haggling and enjoys the details of planning a trip, you might be able to find better deals by reaching out to hotels or other destinations and speaking to someone personally.

Is It Cheaper to Book Online Than With a Travel Agent?

Not always. A travel agent you know and trust should have the experience and connections to find deals that can match or surpass what you'll find online. Additionally, if something goes wrong, travel agents provide you with an actual person you can use as an advocate to correct the problem . But if you don't have access to a good travel agent, online sites still provide plenty of ways to streamline planning and save money .

We considered dozens of online travel agencies and narrowed down the options based on user experience, volume and quality of inventory, unique offerings and specials, and customer reviews. We also assessed travel companies’ environmentally and socially conscious policies.

Wedding Travel Gets You Where You're Going

Before your big day even arrives, it's important to think about wedding travel. Whether you're planning a destination wedding or your honeymoon. You might need some help with all the details surrounding your travel.

If you're planning a destination wedding, you'll need to choose where you want to go, how many guests you'll be inviting, and a venue at least 12 months before your wedding. You should also send out invites early (about 2-3 months before the wedding). This will allow guests to RSVP and make plans to travel.

For your honeymoon, you'll need to decide whether you want to leave for your honeymoon immediately after the ceremony or wait a while to save up some cash. Either way there are plenty of national and international travel options for your honeymoon. On average, couples begin planning their honeymoon about six months before they plan on traveling. This is the time to set a budget, choose dates, research destinations, and find a reputable travel agent (if needed). If you'd like more information on popular honeymoon destinations or where to have your perfect destination wedding, take a look at our fantastic honeymoon guide .

Honeymoon Spots and Destination Weddings

Our guide gives you a look at some great travel destinations based on you and your spouse's style and preferences, with pricey and more budget-friendly ways to experience a destination wedding or see the world as a married couple.

• For your destination wedding , these are all great options, but here are a few more things to consider when picking a wedding location.
• Pick a location that's easy travel friendly . Traveling to an unfamiliar area can be hard enough, you don't want guests to get overwhelmed trying to locate their hotel and venue.
• Don't invite everyone a ton of people . Wedding and travel expenses will grow with every person who comes to your wedding. For some, that's possible, but the ideal guest number for a destination wedding is between 40 and 50.
• Get a wedding planner . Planning a wedding is hard enough when it's local. If you can't travel to scout venues or negotiate with vendors, a wedding planner familiar with the area can be a huge help!

If you're a lover of classical history and architecture, think about traveling to Europe. As a smaller continent and a universal currency, it's easier to travel from country to country. Europe has everything from bustling cities to quiet countrysides and fabulous beaches. Check out popular our European honeymoon destinations .

If you're looking for the perfect island paradise, try Hawaii, the Caribbean, or the South Pacific. The Hawaiian Islands are known around the world for their beautiful tropical landscapes and perfect beaches. The best part is you don't need a passport to get there! Though if you're into a more international island adventure, the Caribbean is a great option for those who like the Atlantic while the South Pacific has all of the gorgeous scenery and oceanscapes fed by the Pacific Ocean. Find the perfect destination on our travel inspiration page for Hawaii , the Caribbean , and South Pacific honeymoon destinations .

If you want to stay a little closer to home, take a look at some great American destinations. Both the eastern and western coastal states have miles of endless beaches, as do the gulf states. National and state parks are a great and cheap way to explore nature and see native wildlife. There's also plenty of history to discover across the country from the colonial era, to the civil war, and westward expansion. Take a look at popular North America travel destinations here!

Mexico is another great option with beautiful resorts in Cabo and Cancun. Whether you just want to lounge in the sand, explore ocean reefs, or learn a bit more about Mexico's eclectic history, there's honestly something from every walk of like. Look at other popular Mexican honeymoon destinations on the travel inspiration page.

Once you've picked a travel destination (about five months before you leave), you can begin planning. Around four months before you leave, you should book all of your travel accommodations and find out what documents you need to travel. If you're going abroad, make sure your passport is up to date and that you have all necessary visas and vaccines. Two months before departure, you should be confirming all documents, reservations, and planning & booking activities for your trip. A month before, you should find transportation to and from the airport if needed and any other honeymoon essentials. Then it's just packing your bags and heading off to your great adventure.

A travel agent’s job description involves a range of responsibilities, including helping clients plan and book their travel arrangements, providing expert advice and recommendations, researching and comparing travel options, handling reservations and payments, collaborating with other travel professionals, and maintaining accurate records.

Travel agents require a range of skills and qualifications, including excellent customer service and sales skills, organizational skills, and technology savvy. Although the job outlook for travel agents may be declining, there are still opportunities for experienced travel agents specializing in corporate travel or group planning trips.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the job description of a travel agent, including the key responsibilities, required skills and qualifications, work environment and schedule, and more.

Key Responsibilities of a Travel Agent

Travel agents have a variety of responsibilities that help them assist customers in planning and booking their travel arrangements. Some of the key responsibilities include:

Helping clients plan and book their travel arrangements

Travel agents are responsible for helping clients plan their trips, including booking transportation (such as flights, rental cars, and train tickets), accommodation (such as hotel rooms, vacation rentals, and hostels), and tours and activities. They also advise clients on travel itineraries and offer suggestions on destinations to visit based on their budget and preferences.

Providing expert advice and recommendations to clients

Travel agents are knowledgeable about travel destinations, including local customs, culture, and attractions. They use this knowledge to offer advice to clients on the best places to visit and the most convenient times to travel. They also advise clients on visa requirements and passport renewals, as well as other relevant information such as travel insurance and budgeting for their trip.

Researching and comparing travel options to find the best deals

Travel agents use their expertise to research and compare travel options, such as airline tickets, hotel accommodations, and vacation packages, to find the best deals for their clients. They also stay up-to-date on tourism trends and promotional techniques to ensure that they are providing the most competitive prices and packages to their clients.

Handling reservations, payments, and cancellations

Travel agents are responsible for making hotel reservations for their clients and processing payments for their travel arrangements. They also handle cancellations and refunds in a timely manner.

Collaborating with other travel professionals and vendors

Travel agents work with other travel professionals, such as tour operators and cruise lines, to offer clients a wide range of travel options. They also collaborate with vendors, such as hotels and airlines, to negotiate prices and provide clients with the best possible deals.

Maintaining statistical and financial records

Travel agents keep accurate records of their clients’ travel arrangements and financial transactions. This helps them to provide clients with future services and ensures that they are meeting their sales targets.

Staying up-to-date with industry trends and regulations

Travel agents stay current with industry trends and regulations, such as visa requirements and travel restrictions. They also attend travel seminars and educational programs to stay up-to-date with the latest industry developments.

Required Skills and Qualifications for a Travel Agent

Travel agents require a range of skills and qualifications to perform their job duties effectively. Some of the required skills and qualifications include:

Excellent customer service skills

Travel agents must have exceptional customer service skills to interact with clients in a professional manner. This includes listening to clients’ needs and concerns and addressing them in a timely and effective manner.

Sales skills

Travel agents must have strong sales skills to persuade clients to book their travel arrangements through them. This includes promoting travel packages and other services and offering advice on the best options for clients.

Organizational skills

Travel agents must be highly organized and detail-oriented to keep track of their clients’ travel arrangements and financial transactions. They must also be able to multitask and prioritize their workload to meet deadlines and ensure that clients’ needs are met in a timely manner.

Relevant education or certification

Many travel agents have a bachelor’s degree in travel and tourism, hospitality management, or a related field. Certification from a travel industry association, such as a Certified Travel Associate (CTA), Certified Travel Counselor (CTC), or Certified Travel Industry Executive (CTIE), can also be helpful in demonstrating expertise and knowledge in the industry.

Strong organizational skills

Technology savvy.

Travel agents must be familiar with online booking platforms and reservation systems to process travel arrangements efficiently. They must also be proficient in using social media for marketing and promoting travel packages and services.

While a high school diploma may be sufficient for some entry-level positions, many employers prefer applicants with a bachelor’s degree in hospitality or a related field. Certification from a travel industry association, such as the Certified Travel Industry Executive (CTIE) or Certified Travel Counselor (CTC) can also be helpful in demonstrating expertise and knowledge in the industry.

Cultural awareness and language skills

Travel agents must have a good understanding of geography and cultural awareness to offer advice on travel destinations and local customs. They must also have language skills to communicate effectively with clients who speak different languages.

Relevant experience

Many travel agents gain relevant experience in the hospitality industry or customer service before pursuing a career as a travel agent. Sales experience can also be helpful in persuading clients to book their travel arrangements through them.

Detail-oriented

Travel agents must be detail-oriented to ensure that all aspects of their clients’ travel arrangements are accurate and up-to-date. This includes scheduling transportation, booking hotel accommodations, arranging tours and activities, and providing clients with relevant information such as visa requirements and local customs.

Travel agents must be persuasive and able to sell travel packages and services to clients. This requires the ability to identify clients’ needs and preferences and offer customized recommendations that meet their needs.

Time management skills

Travel agents must be able to manage their time effectively to ensure that clients’ needs are met in a timely manner. They must also be able to prioritize their workload to meet deadlines and ensure that they are meeting their sales targets.

Work Environment and Schedule

Travel agents work in a variety of settings, including travel agencies, corporate travel departments, and home-based offices. They may work full-time, part-time, or on a flexible schedule that includes evenings and weekends. They must be able to work in a fast-paced environment and handle multiple phone calls and emails from clients.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for a travel agent is $40,660 per year. Job opportunities for travel agents are expected to decline by 26% between 2019 and 2029 due to the increasing use of online booking platforms and self-service options for travelers.

Our classic tours include tours of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, two main Russian cities.

Moscow is a big and busy  megalopolis and Russia’s capital city, where more than 12 million people live and work. Our capital city is happening place; it is mysterious, elegant, luxurious, fashionable, clean and bright, with its unique legends, traditions and events. It is with great pride that we show the Red Square and the Kremlin, our Underground and Tretyakovskaya Gallery, among other stunning attractions.

Saint Petersburg is our second capital,  the second largest city in the Russian Federation.

Church domes are visible like mushrooms from anywhere and everywhere in the town like in a fairy tale. No wonder Suzdal is called the ‘Town Museum”.  It is definitely worth visiting!

Macao designated “Preferred Destination 2025” by European Travel Agents’ and Tour Operators’ Associations and host city of its “Summit” next year helping to expand visitor source markets from Europe

The European Travel Agents’ and Tour Operators’ Associations (ECTAA) announced on Friday (26 April) that Macao will be the host city of “ECTAA 2025 Macao Summit” and its “Preferred Destination 2025.” Set to bring member associations of 30 countries next year to Macao, the summit and related initiatives brings a unique opportunity to showcase the city’s “tourism +” offerings to Europe’s top travel agents and tour operators, helping to expand international visitor source markets.

The announcement ceremony was held at the 12th Macao International Travel (Industry) Expo (MITE), and was presided over by the Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, the President of the Portuguese Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies (APAVT), Pedro Costa Ferreira, the Vice President of ECTAA, Heli Mäki-Fränti, and the heads of several Macao travel and tourism related associations.

Unique opportunity to promote Macao in Europe

As part of MGTO’s partnership with APAVT to increase visitor arrivals from Portugal, Spain, and Europe after the pandemic, a collaboration with ECTAA, of which APAVT is a member, was forged for the city to host the “ECTAA 2025 Macao Summit” and for the designation of “Macao - ECTAA Preferred Destination 2025.”

In a speech at the occasion, MGTO Director Maria Helena Senna Fernandes highlighted that these initiatives will bring “a unique opportunity to continue to raise our destination’s profile and boost visitor flows from Europe,” by helping to “showcase the new dynamic development of Macao as a world center of tourism and leisure to ECTAA’s members of around 30 across Europe.”

The President of APAVT Pedro Costa Ferreira remarked that this is “the biggest opportunity, in recent years, to bring together an important source market, - Europe - and the tourist destination of Macao, extending this logic, of course, to the whole of China,” adding that “APAVT has, both humbly and discreetly, been actively working towards achieving this result, highlighting the advantages of the project, and bringing the parties involved closer together.”

While the Vice President of ECTAA Heli Mäki-Fränti noted that with the partnership “the Macao Government Tourism Office will be able to present the extensive offerings of the territory to about 80.000 European travel professionals, encouraging them to consider Macao as an exceptional choice for their clientele,” believing that it “will result in better and stronger relations between Macao incoming agents and our members.”

Summit to gather heads of travel associations from 30 European countries

Hosted by MGTO, the “ECTAA 2025 Macao Summit” will gather in the city the heads of the national associations of travel agencies and tour operators’ members of ECTAA from around 30 European countries for the General Assembly and Board Meeting of the organization. The summit will also provide participants with a firsthand experience of the development of Macao as a world center of tourism and leisure, to help boost visitor flows from Europe.

As part of the designation of “Macao - ECTAA’s Preferred Destination 2025,” throughout next year, the organization will promote the destination in its information materials, website, and social media channels, among other initiatives to be conducted targeting travel media, travel agents, and tour operators.

European delegation at 12th MITE as promotional work continues

MGTO invited, in collaboration with APAVT, a delegation of European travel trade and media to attend this year’s 12th MITE. The group of 30 people, aside from APAVT, ECTAA and the Spanish Confederation of Travel Agents (CEAV) representatives, includes the heads of travel agencies and travel media from Portugal and Spain. During their stay in Macao, along with business exchanges at MITE, they will also experience the city’s cultural heritage, gastronomy and entertainment offerings, as well as visit Hengqin.

Following the relaunch of in-person promotional work in Portugal in 2023, MGTO returned this year to the Lisbon Travel Market and the Spanish travel fair FITUR, leveraging on the designation of “Macao – APAVT Preferred International Destination 2024” to promote the city’s attractions in partnership with APAVT in Portugal last March, laying the ground for the National Congress of the association next year in Macao.

The hosting of “ECTAA 2025 Macao Summit” and the “APAVT National Congress 2025 in Macao”, will be two high moments for the city to continue to help tap into the European market, as part of the efforts to increase international visitor source markets, boosting tourism economy towards a diversified development.

Some of the biggest names in music got their start in Europe. But not all cities on the continent are equal when it comes to musical offerings. Certain destinations offer more opportunities for music lovers than others, as a German ranking reveals.

Online travel agency Weloveholidays has taken a close look at the music scene in 60 European cities, ranking them according to a number of factors. Particular attention was paid to the number of music events taking place in each destination during 2024, as well as the number of concert venues (bars, halls) located there.

Once the data had been collected, the factors were standardised so that each was assigned a value between 0 and 1, giving each city on the Old Continent a score attesting to its “musical” side.

London tops the list, with a respectable score of 2.78 out of 4. The English capital stands out thanks to the many concerts it hosts throughout the year, including three by American superstar Taylor Swift in mid-June.

Music lovers visiting the land that gave rise to the genre of Britpop can also enjoy live music in one of London’s 133 concert bars. That’s more than any other city in the ranking!

Second place goes to Hamburg, Germany, which boasts just over a hundred music venues, and third place to Paris. The City of Light is a prime destination for music lovers from all over the world, thanks to its rich musical scene.

Top international artistes regularly perform there in various concert halls and at renowned Parisian festivals such as We Love Green, Rock En Seine and Solidays.

Several European capitals feature in this ranking, including Dublin, Vienna and Athens. Generally speaking, the most music-loving country in Europe is Germany, which has four cities featured in the top 15 of Europe’s most music-friendly destinations.

If this ranking is anything to go by, Europe is a prime destination for what professionals call “music tourism”. Every year, millions of music lovers travel to the Old Continent to see their favourite artistes live on stage, boosting local tourism. This new travel trend has the potential to become a huge market, prompting players in the music industry to design special offers combining musical and tourist experiences. – AFP Relaxnews

3. Paris, France
