Full textNowadays, when the world feels smaller as a result of the increasing flow of information, the competition of tourism between countries is getting bigger. This has caused that the marketing of the country has become vital. It is important for the country to send out the right signals so that the tourists have the right image of a destination. Once the image has been created, it might be hard to change it.
Scandinavian Travel Agent AB is a company arranging different trips around Scandinavia. They work as incoming agent for foreign tour operators, which they help with different types of travel arrangements in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Now they want to expand their business to other countries, and at the same time they want to identify how Sweden is seen as a tourist destination. We helped them with this by investigating travel agencies and tour operators in the Netherlands.
Our purpose with this thesis was to find out what kind of picture the Dutch travel agencies and tour operators have about Sweden. Furthermore, we wanted to know how the Dutch market looks like considering the trips to Sweden. To be able to analyze the phenomena of image we have taken closer look at the decision- making process, which was originally created by Mathieson and Wall (1984). It contains four areas (tourist profile, travel awareness, destination resources & characteristics and trip features) that have effect on the decision making process. Since we thought that image also has a big influence on the tourists’ decision, we chose to investigate that subject as well.
With the help of our theories we created two different questionnaires, one to Dutch travel agencies/ tour operators having Sweden as a travel destination, and one to Dutch travel agencies/tour operators not currently offering trips to Sweden. After receiving the answers we interpreted them together with our theories and we found out that the respondents have a correct image of the reality. Sweden’s nature with the forests, water and snow were some of the most common parts of their image. Stockholm was also a prominent feature together with beautiful and clean nature. Sweden was also seen as a modern and safe country with high quality. Some respondent also mentioned space, but it was not as common answer as we expected.
Regarding the image, we found out that an image handles both a person’s affective and cognitive images, which arises from many different sources and influences. After doing this research our believes, about the image as a part of the decision making process, were strengthened. Therefore we saw the need to change the already existing model.
Our suggestions to the Scandinavian Travel Agent AB, is to first contact the travel agencies/tour operators who are currently offering Sweden, since they seem to be most interested in expanding to Sweden. Among the other travel agencies/tour operators an interest has to be aroused. This can depend on the fact that companies with Sweden can see the demand and the opportunities better than the companies who do not have Sweden.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to analyze how Stockholm based travel agencies understand and use relationship marketing and how it is perceived by customers.
Relationship marketing is defined by Grönroos as a building of relationships with customers to achieve mutual benefits. Four main objectives of relationship marketing were used to contextualise the term: service quality, personalisation, differentiation, and communica-tion.In order to answer the purpose, the authors have chosen to interview three travel agen-cies that focus on offering tailor made travel for different target groups. Sampling was used to find these travel agencies, as the total number of travel agencies in the Stock-holm area is too large to interview. Also, customers who have travelled with two of the travel agencies were interviewed. Further, several theoretical frameworks are presented in order to provide the reader with a view of relationship marketing, and were used in the design and the questions asked both companies and customers.
From the interviews with the companies it was found that all of them have different views of what relationship marketing is, and that they have different ways of imple-menting it. The views of relationship marketing differ from building a strong brand im-age to managing actual relationships with customers.
The main efforts of relationship marketing that the companies are involved in are delivering personalized travel and high service quality to customers.It was found in the interviews with customers that their view on what makes good ser-vice is similar to that of company views. What is most important to customers is that the perceived quality matches, or exceeds, the experienced one. There are several things that companies can do to attract and retain customers including having rewards clubs, sending out a moderate amount of newsletters, and providing a personal seller for customers.

Internet technologies and e-business have been developing rapidly in the past few years. Economic census data about online sales show that the tourism industry and travel agencies in particular have been one of the e-business pioneers. In Taiwan, more and more travel agencies have adopted e-business model and started to explore online business opportunities through their web sites. This study focuses on e-business adoption in the tourism industry. Specifically, I intend to examine website design, online channel adoption, and e-business transactions among travel agencies. Data on a sample of travel agencies that were members of the Taipei association of travel agencies were collected from two sources:(1) telephone interviews with top managers and (2) company websites. Information about various e-business applications was coded from travel agencies’ websites. Results show that the rates of website adoption varied across different types of travel agencies and overall less that 50 percent of the sample firms had established their own websites. For travel agencies that had entered into e-business, many firms used their websites as an information and communication mechanism. E-business transactions were largely focused on flight and hotel reservations and overseas packages.

The rise of Facebook in recent years has led to travel agencies setting up their own Facebook pages, which function as a platform for promoting their services. Facebook differs from traditional websites that feature one-way communication as it has the char-acteristic of two-way communication. The operation of the platform enhances its brand awareness, as well as the relationship with the customer. Its socializing, interpersonal relationships and the complexity of the network link are regarded as the best marketing tool. Therefore, it has become increasingly important for travel agencies to know how to develop friendly relations with their customers and maintain customer loyalty through the platform. The main purpose of the study was to explore how travel agencies use their Face-book page to maintain a relationship with their customers, and analyse how these Face-book pages relate to marketing. The study used a rigorous content analysis to research and analyze the content of the Facebook pages of travel agencies using six of the com-ponents of relationship marketing orientation (RMO). In addition, this study mentioned several views of the operation of travel agencies’ Facebook pages. The study not only inferred propositions related to empirical research, but also proposed implications for the management of the travel agencies and recommendations for future research.

Full textTravel agents have been traditionally seen as the key intermediary between suppliers of travel services and the traveller. Developments in the field of information technology offer consumers an alternative to booking via a travel agent - the option to plan and arrange holidays online. Due to the ever developing nature of technology, travellers have the luxury of a multitude of choices in their everyday life - particularly so in making decisions regarding travel. Travellers will seek to optimise choices by selecting a distribution channel which will provide them with the greatest perceived value. The primary goal of the study is to explore the underlying factors that influence consumer behaviour in making travel decisions, with specific reference to choosing between booking through a travel agent or online. Research with a perspective on travel decision-making in South Africa is limited. In attempting to fill the void, this study surveyed 408 respondents residing in South Africa using a structured questionnaire, and examined preference in booking holiday flights or accommodation travel through a travel agent or Internet. A literature review was embarked upon to create a framework for this study and to recognise previous research related to travel decision-making. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify factors influencing traveller decision-making. Statistical tests, such as Chi-square and correlation tests, were further used to examine the degree of relationship and significance between items and factors. Factors that influence travel decision-making were identified, namely trust and financial risk perception, convenience and adoption of technology, price, personal contact or empathy and the role of demographic factors such as age, income and ethnicity...

Features of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) such as non-contact and non-line of sight reading, reusability, read/write capability, the ability to read through materials transparent to the frequency of operation, etc., make for its possibility of replacing barcodes in the future. RFID has been widely adopted by various industries, from the well-known retail industry (with retailers such as England’s Marks & Spencer and America’s Wal-Mart) a few years ago to the transportation industry and the medical industry today, and even used in different areas such as logistics, access control, inventory control, etc. The use of RFID in various industries has also become increasingly diversified. RFID brings convenience to mankind, and with the help of this technology, industry-related service quality and competitiveness can be significantly improved. Nonetheless, actual usage of RFID technology throughout the entire operating procedure of the travel industry, other than in electronic tickets, door keys and digital wallets, etc., seems extremely low. Therefore, the study hopes for the integration of RFID technology into the travel industry by replacing human labor with automation through electronic means, ultimately realizing a prototype which combines passenger identification and baggage control. Through the actual finished product and interviewing a travel agency tour guide, the study found that such a system can indeed bring convenience to the industry by serving as a system model for the travel industry’s baggage control in the future, providing a convenient, time-saving solution that integrates the use of RFID technology.

This study explores the FIT relationship marketing of Travel Agencies in Taipei. The packages of SPSS 15.0 and LISREL 8.54. were used to analyze the questionnaire data (N=207) . It is found that among the relationship marketing variables, ‘communi-cation’ is the most recognized antecedent variable; otherwise, the ‘opportunistic be-havior’ is the least one. Among the mediators, ‘commitment’ is recognized as the most important one. In consequent variables, ‘propensity to leave’ is the most important variable but ‘functional conflict and acquiescence’ is the least one. The result of Pear-son’s product-moment correlation analysis suggests positive relationships between the all variables. Finally, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) illustrates that mediating variables affected by antecedent variables and consequent variables affected by medi-ating variables. Based on these findings, this study proposes suggestions for future re-lationship marketing of the travel agency research.

Over the past 15 years, the Internet’s popularity, convenience, and ease of use have made travel information and accommodation more readily available to travelers. Making reservation for foreign hotels and booking airline tickets by clicking the mouse and inputting credit card data, consumers can handle them quickly and directly without using the traditional services provided by professional travel agency. The profit and commission of travel agency have been reduced greatly or even disappeared because of the availability of Internet. This has affected the travel and tourism industry significantly and caused those travel agencies which have not transformed their operations accordingly becoming less competitive and even resulting in closure. In addition, nowadays the global village environment along with many other factors can easily affect the direction and development of the travel agency. For examples, new visa policies around the world have become more favorable to Taiwan; the Visa Waiver Programs awarded by the European Union countries to Taiwan have greatly increased the number of European tours during 2010-2011. Meanwhile, the recent economic recession and financial crisis have also affected travel agencies in the industry. Therefore, studying management strategy of travel agency has become increasingly important, the research will enable travel agencies to identify the success factors and develop sustainable plans to survive during the economic downturn. This exploratory study will employ multiple methods to collect data. These include qualitative methods such as interviews and field observations; secondary data from sources such as Field observation、Interview、Historical Method、and Secondary data will also be gathered. For interviews, semi-structured questionnaires will be constructed in advance. These interviews will be performed to identify and discuss management strategy for final policy making. The travel industry is deeply influenced by domestic and foreign environments. Relying on SWOP analysis created by Professor Heinz Weihrich of University of San Francisco, this study will apply the SWOP analysis to management strategies suitable for class-A travel agency. The study will gather and review the literatures, and use field observations to develop a research framework. At the end, the five forces model introduced by Michael E. Porter will be reviewed to obtain a feasible management strategy for class-A travel agency. The purpose of this study is to present a simple and applicable management strategy that can maintain a critical, superior position in the competitions for market shares. First, the quality of staff of the company and consumption trends in tourists should be ensured; next professional operations should be specialized and wholly implemented to make accurate prediction and control of environmental changes, and to provide objective assessment and efficient use of resources. Thereby they can create own strengths and advantages that can differ from other class-A agents, and pursue a winning strategy to fully address the market needs. These strengths can also be used as references for domestic and international travel agencies.

As our gross national income increases, recreation and travelling have become more important than ever. Travel agencies have also started to focus on enterprise management and brand oriented methods. Until today, there are two public traded travel agencies, two OTC ones, two at emerging stock markets and a few others on their way. It’s clear that the importance of brand equity is getting higher and higher. Looking at the brand strategy of travel agencies from a marketing perspective, it is becoming more difficult to put all factors, including product segments, targeted customers, and market positioning, into consideration simultaneously. In order to expand customer sources and increase market share, developing multi-brand strategies is a possible approach for travel agencies. Multi-brand may occur under the circumstances of mergers and acquisitions, or may also be a division from the parent brand. Different levels of dependence on the parent brand could also lead to different results, further analysis according to this topic will be provided in the later chapters. This research is devoted for understanding the ongoing multi-brand methods in the industry and also their effects. Furthermore, we analyze the possible results due to different dependence level on the parent brand. Feasible solutions when facing problems are also provided in the research. In order to effectively open up new customer sources and lead the travelling industry to more diverse developments, it is important to understand the different demands among various customer groups and elaborate a precision marketing plan accordingly. This research aims to provide a closer view on these topics related to the multi-brand method and hopes to make the most of these strategies.

In recent years, due to the convenience and popularization of the internet, tourist information can be disseminated more rapidly and so is the price transparency. Ticketing, booking and itinerary arrangements are often accomplished through online self-service, which results in the change of consumption patterns. When tourists' demand for travel agencies declines, so does their profits. If travel agencies fail to keep up with technological advances, they will eventually face business difficulties. The purpose of this study is to investigate how offline travel agencies can break through difficulties and develop sustainable business strategies under the influence of the popularization of the internet and product cyberation. This study conducted in-depth interviews with operators of offline travel agencies to understand their survival ways and business coping strategies. The business strategies of offline travel agencies are summarized by incorporating 4P, the Key Success Factor and SWOT analysis. Major conclusions are as follows: 1. maximize profits by developing niche products; 2. develop a long-term relationship with customers and strive to retain customer satisfaction and loyalty; 3. provide diverse and unique services to enhance customers’ added value; 4.use the internet and social media to expand customer base.

The quality of services is the very livelihood to a business, in particular a service-oriented business. The quality of internal services has the influence upon the quality of external services. Remarkable quality of internal services is the very prerequisite of sound quality of external services. Looking back over the literatures available previously, I noticed that previously, some scholars have studied the quality of travel agent services. But they in most cases only looked into the quality of external services in the perspective of consumers, without probing into the quality of travel agents’ internal services. The present study, therefore, tries to establish the scale to rate travel agents in the quality of their internal services. I marked the results of the in-depth interview conducted by Hallowell et al., (1996) with the ranking management of the travel agents on the quality of their internal services to build the scale. In the present study, I chose the full-timers serving with travel agencies in Taipei as the empirical targets. By attributes of their substantial work, I classified them into the “first-line staff”, “support-oriented staff” and the “mixed-up staff”. I inquired then with questions regarding how they viewed and felt the quality of internal services. The preliminary surveys aimed at 302 staff members working in 11 travel agencies and the official survey aimed at 502 employees of 29 travel agencies. In the findings yielded from the study, I classified the quality of internal services into six major facets, i.e., “Effective Training”, “Tools and Policies”, “Rewards and Recognition”, “Procedures”, “Communication” and “Teamwork”, 30 survey questions in total. The results concluded in the study are intended to help the travel agents to get comprehensive theories on the quality of internal services and will help them as well rate the status quo of the internal services to upgrade the quality of internal services and, in turn, raise the quality of their overall services.

Tourism industry mainly relies on its efficiency and accuracy of information flow. Therefore, the infinite power of E-commerce and the blooming growth of internet tools have made a tremendous impact upon tourism market and reshaped its history. Due to the lack of knowledge and experience in E-commerce operation and the misconception of the tourism market characteristics, most travel service websites had failed to keep their financial balance and gone out of business during the dot-com bubble in the year of 2000. In the aftermath they realized the fact that going with the trend without a better understanding of it would only diminish their competitive advantages. Survival of the fittest is still the golden rule. In this essay, the key to success for tourist agencies operating under E-commerce platforms would be explored by the review of previous research and clarified by the introduction of Delphi method. Furthermore, according to the opinions from experts in tourism, the factors of success would be classified into two categories (Whole Sale and Retail Agent). The differences and similarities between them would be studied and compared under careful inspection. The methods and results of this essay should be a fine reference and initiative for researchers who share the same interests and plan to use it for further studies.

Electronic commerce model has made an impact on the travel industry of Taiwan. There are multiple distribution channels in the Internet while new technology customers have already inclined to buy straight from the supplier’s Web site, especially a price-sensitive customer who loves to shop around will remain the natural constituent of an on-line travel agency. In my view, Travel agencies should know their resource including brand image, travel professional knowledge, selling capacity and E-Commerce management know how. In order to get travel product, brand, service, and price competitive advantages. How to adopt an optimal EC strategy in order to acquire travel reputation, financial, product, market, and employee performance advantages is the key issue of travel agencies. Furthermore, considering the environment, company, behavior, procedure and product uncertainties and transaction costs; travel agencies may construct an optimal transaction model for consumers; related business industry and themselves.

Consumer complaint behavior (CCB) has been proposed in the end of 1970’s, and there have been more and more scholars devoting to the study of CCB since 1980’s. Although a large number of studies on CCB, only few attempts have so far been made at tourism. Because there are many characteristics on tourism, they are very different from the ones of the other lines of business. It made the quality of service difficult to have in hand by travel agencies. When the customers can’t identify themselves with the service provided by travel agencies, the consumer complaint is coming into being. This study focuses on five factors, including the factors of impact on the consumer complaint behavior, consumer service recovery, complaint response style, consumer satisfaction and after-complaining behaviors. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, One Way Anova and T-test were used in this study. The factors of impact on consumer complaint behavior are “situational factors”, “the characters of consumers”, and “service failure”. Four clusters of consumers with distinct response styles emerges form this analysis: ”private response style”, “private/corporate response style”, “corporate/third party response style”, and “no response, and to change the other travel agency”. Consumer satisfaction includes “the speed of service recovery”,” the equitability of service recovery by contact window”, “the results of making up for the event” and “consumer satisfaction of the event”. After-complaining behaviors include “positive word-of-mouth”, ”negative word-of-mouth”, and “neutrality”. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The perceived likelihood of successful complaining, the characters of consumers, and the service failure have influence on Consumer satisfaction. 2. The perceived likelihood of successful complaining, the characters of consumers, and the service failure have influence on After-complaining behaviors . 3. The consumer satisfaction is better by third party response style than by private/corporate response style. 4. The after-complaining behaviors of the majority of consumers are negative word-of-mouth. 5. Consumer satisfaction has influence on After-complaining behaviors.

Backpacking has been a mainstreaming phenomenon in tourism. Recent developments in information and communications technology have provided the basis for the backpackers. Backpackers may email travel agencies and hotels to assist them find travel-related information on a website or provide information not on the site. Thus, travel agencies and hotels face the challenge to meet the customers’high expectations towards e-services. This study investigates the e-mail communication behaviour of travel agencies and hotels by using traditional-Chinese and English e-mail. Their replies in general and their reactions to inquiries were studied. A mystery study among 70 travel agencies and 57 hotels offers valuable insights. The results indicate a low response rate for travel agencies. The results on quality of the replies indicate that Hotels show higher consideration of personalisation, reliability, and responsiveness in Chinese and English e-mail. Overall hotels seem to have a better E-Mail Service Quality than travel agencies.

Based on our study, we have found that the tourism industry ( to be referred as “the industry” hereafter) have been divided into Direct-Sales agencies,Whole-Sales agencies,Distributorship agencies, Special-type agencies and Web agencies. What they operate, or how they operate, however, we have found the “coordinating network ” is not only existing but also becoming a more important method for the industry operations. The purpose of this study is that we hope to know more about the industry by actual visiting the agency owners, to find whatever their problems are. The conclusions are : 1. The Coordinating Network is truly used in the industry, but it is somehow different from the Network used by other industries. 2. The informative sources are strongly demanded by the industry, therefore the Coordinating Network is therefore requested to supply adequate information, and . It is variable and flexible. 3. In this E-business era, it is easy to get update information. It’s obvious that the traditional coordinating is getting weaken, and eventually it will be substituted by E-business. 4. By the impact of the global free market and E-business, the future of the industry is to be either huge or tiny, and it leaves very little room for medium-sized travel agencies. In terms of making a re-born tourism industry in the near future, we suggest that the industry take “ outsourcing basis” to build the internal network for the corporations. Through the outsourcing basis, the new relationships are being built between the corporations and the suppliers. It gives more capacities for the corporations to be diversified..

Most literatures of elder travel focused on constraints, motivations and influences from elders’ perspectives. Few literatures explored elder travel and group package tour from travel agencies’ perspectives. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand the travel agencies’ considerations about the group package tour design for the elder travelers. The study used snowball sampling and semi-structured interview to collect data. The results formed three themes: the impacts of the characteristics of the elderly on the travel, the strategies of the travel agencies, and the developments toward the future senior market. keywords: elders, group package tour, tour design travel agencies. INTRODUCTION With the increase of the aging population and the importance of leisure activities, traveling plays a significant role for the elderly in the rest of their lives. The literatures about the elder travelers mostly focused on constraints and motivations of travel, however, with the lack of the viewpoints for the travel agencies. Hence, the aims of this study were to investigate the travel agencies’ experiences and perspectives about the group package tour design for the elder travelers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study used snowball sampling and 11 travel agencies with the experience of leading the elderly group package tour were recruited. The study used semi-structured interview to collect data. The interview guidelines included: (1) the experiences and difficulties for designing and leading elderly travel, (2) the specific concerns of group package tour for the elderly travelers, and (3) the developmental strategies toward the future senior tourism market. Data analysis was based on the principles of the grounded theory. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Three themes were identified.

Cooperation is a prerequisite of strategic alliances, but there is commercial competition between alliance members. Even so, strategic alliance is still a normal tactical behavior in travel agencies in Taiwan, PAK and CTIN etc. are famous illustrations in Taiwan. In some cases, travel agencies even think strategic alliance is the best way to increase their performance. But probability of making a successful alliance is not high as they think. Furthermore, there are many ways to divide alliances into different forms. Which kinds of strategic alliance could truly increase performance become the motive of the research. The research not only discuss reasons travel agencies participate in strategic alliance but separate alliance by motives to examine variations in alliance performance. The survey adopted convenience sample to distribute 360 questionnaires among travel agencies in Taipei, and 208 effective questionnaires were retrieved finally.

The product and service of travel agency in Taiwan cannot be protected by patent laws so they are easily counterfeited or imitated by other travel agency companies. Moreover, customers’ demands and preference are constantly changing. Under such situations to search for ways to meet customers’ demand, travel agency faces tremendous conflicts and stress from the prospect of management strategies. Nevertheless, this is a great chance to create a service model to enhance the service value of travel agency and customers. From the perspectives of travel agency managers, the aim of this research is to find out the motivators and key success factors for service innovation in travel agencies. In this research, the researcher conducted a self-administered questionnaire. Before the questionnaires were distributed, the researcher telephoned to the managers of the travel agencies in Taipei City and then inquired them if they had implemented the service innovation in the past three years. If the researcher received the positive responses from the managers, the trained interviewers would be dispated to conduct face-toface questionnaire interviews. In term of the number of the distributed questionnaires, 300 questionnaires were administered to the managers in the travel agencies and then 280 were returned. The retuned ratio is 93 percent. Of the total retuned questionnaires, 252 ones were valid. Therefore, the ratio of the valid questionnaire is 84 percent. The result of this research indicates that, in terms of the motivation for service innovation that managers identify, it is divided into entrepreneurial brand building, entrepreneurial awareness promotion, entrepreneurial income increase, operation cost reduction, and customer satisfaction promotion respectively. With regard to the key success factors in service innovation, they are discussed on the basis of four aspects. First, the key success factors in the product / service innovation include consistency of service delivery and competitive advantage, product / service meeting customer needs, ability to innovate technology, and tangible product / service quality. Second, the key success factors of internal process innovation include employee support and customer identification, employee training for service innovation, pre-preparation and pre-plan for innovative development, and effective marketing communication. Third, the key success factors of the innovation of entrepreneurial organizations include resolution of customer problem and promotion of relationship with customers, proper empowerment, cooperation, resource investment and adequate communication, uniqueness of human resource management, and marketing synergy. Finally, the key success factors of market innovation include market competitiveness and selection of target markets.

Despite travel products are one of the most popular items in online shopping market, the tourism market competition is still intense. The successful tourism business must simultaneously manage physical and Internet channels. Therefore, the dual channel mode (hybrid travel agency) is common in the tourism industry. Travel agency managers should pay more attention to the competition and market position issues on these two channel-dimensions. Market positioning analysis using perceptual mapping is generally used for analyzing consumers and markets. This study focuses on market positioning analysis of online travel agencies in Taiwan based on consumers' perceptual mapping and uses multidimensional scaling (MDS) to identify the perceptual maps of relative positions of the main nine travel websites in the perception of the customer. Empirical data were collected from Taiwanese who had purchased travel goods. A total of 951 Taiwan respondents participated in this study. The results of multidimensional scaling analyses show that the customer perceptions of some travel websites are very close in the perceptual map. This may mean that they are highly competitive. But some travel websites have unique service positions that are not strongly associated with other travel websites in the perceptual maps. This research result will to provide management-related references for hybrid travel agency managers.

In this trend toward the disintermediation of tourism, how the travel agencies with limited funds make good use of company’s resources as well as manpower in order to gain customer’s trust and create profit for the companies are the key factors for sustainable operation. This research study aims to explore the significant differences of travel agencies’ employees in personality traits and job performance under various background, and to understand the effect of personality traits on job performance. Questionnaires was used as research method for this study. First of all, both domestic and international studies were taken as reference in order to build proper personality traits scale and job performance scale for collecting data. Then, the questionnaires were given out to travel agencies’ employees in Taipei and Taichung. A total of 450 questionnaires were distributed with 398 collected and 387 deemed as valid with a response rate of 97.3%. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and Regression by using SPSS 24.0 were employed to analyze the data collected. The results indicated that age, marital status, job position and work experience of travel agencies’ employees have great differences in personality traits and job performance. Currently the personality traits of travel agencies’ employees are highly correlated with affinity and conscientiousness, moderately correlated with extroversion and openness to experience, and modestly correlate with emotional stability. Personality traits such as openness to experience, conscientiousness and extroversion have positive influence on job performance, with openness to experience as most significant. It is recommended that travel agencies take not only personal background variables, but also personal traits measurement into account when hiring suitable employees. In the process of selecting, employees with openness to experience may be beneficial to job performance as a whole.
