For this newspaper report I have selected two ads for trips to Greece in the
Greek newspaper, the Orthodox Observer. The travel agencies here are
“MARKOS TRAVEL SERVICE” and “PHAROS TRAVEL”. Both ads offer trips to
Greece with really good deals from all over the United States.
“Markos Travel Service” offers non-stop flights on Jumbo 747 with
Olympic Airways and says that it has unbelievable low rates from anywhere in
the United States. The prices at “Markos Travel Service start from $289.00 the
one way ticket which departs from New York (JFK) and arrives in Athens
Greece, and the round trip ticket starts from $489.00. Now with “PHAROS
TRAVEL” he has the one way ticket $299.00 and the round trip $498.00 plus tax
(which usually the tax ranges between $40-60.00 .This travel agency ad tells us
about the childrens fare too and it also gives a 20% off discount to all corporate
accounts with either domestic or international trips. It also deals with add on
from all over the United States too and it actually gives us the prices to it.
“MARKOS TRAVEL SERVICE” doesnt show these features in its ad not
even for the childrens price or the discount price. Another difference between
the two is that “MARKOS TRAVEL SERVICE” has only one office in Connecticut
but “PHAROS TRAVEL” has two locations, one in Manhattan and the other one
in Astoria, which makes it much more easier to go too. Both of the travel
agencies ads gives us a nation wide toll-free number so you can call them from
wherever
