3. Liaison with Providers of Service:

Planning and Costing Tours: The contracts and arrangements having been entered into, there comes the task of planning and costing tours, both for inclusive programmes and to meet individual requirements. This job is intensely interesting and at the same time challenging. This job calls for a great deal of initiative and drive. The job calls for travel to those places which are to be included in the itineraries. This is essentially a job for a meticulously minded personnel and calls for considerable training and ability. Villa Franca with the cooperation of airlines and other transportation companies take the opportunity of arranging educational tours for our staff to countries with which we deal. Villa Franca Travels and Tours has people who are authorities on particular countries and in addition to a general programme, many will issue separate programmes dealing with territories.
We offer separate programmes dealing with holiday offers based on specific forms of transportation, e.g., air, rail, road or sea, may also be prepared. Programmes also have to be issued to cover different seasons of the year. Publicity is an important part of the programme. Having spent considerable time and money on preparing all that goes into the issue of a programme, publicity features considerably in the activities of a Villa Franca Travels and Tours and more so as Villa Franca Travels and Tours happens to be a large Travels and Tours Company.
Villa Franca as a large travels and Tours Company has its own publicity departments under the management of a publicity expert duly trained by Remigella International Group.
4. Ticketing:
Selling tickets to tourists for different modes of transport like air, rail and sea is a very important function of Villa Franca travels and Tours. Ticketing is not an easy job as the range of international air fares is very complex. Computerised Reservation System (CRS) has revolutionised the reservation system both for air and train tickets and also a room in a hotel.
5. Provision of Foreign Currencies:
Provision of foreign currency to an intending foreign tourist is an important function of Villa Franca Global Travels and Tours. The Government of Nigeria allows a Nigerian traveller going abroad 10,000 US $.
Villa Franca travels and Tours agents arrange for the purchase of foreign exchange on behalf of the company’s intending travellers. This facility saves a lot of time and harassment for the intending tourists.
6. Insurance:
Insurance for personal accident risks and risk for loss of baggage is an important function of a Villa Franca travels and Tours agent. The idea of buying a package of travel, accommodation and perhaps some ancillary services such as entertainment became established in Western Europe in the 1960s. By 1970, tour operation had become a full-fledged part of tourism. Its growth was spectacular. It succeeded in reducing the real price of travel abroad, in doing this; it brought holidays abroad to a segment of the market not reached by conventional
Methods of taking a holiday. Today in most countries which are generators of tourism, tour operation is the dominating feature of the holiday market. An inclusive tour is a package of transport and accommodation and perhaps some other services which are sold as a single holiday for a single all-inclusive price. The popular term, ‘package holiday’ describes the nature of a tour more accurately than the term ‘inclusive tour’. The original demand for inclusive arrangements came from the convenience of buying a single travel product.
