Personally, I think the Author's point about getting Operator to just book your holidays for you or to rely on it for automatically recommending the "best" restaurants or so is ironically just a return to the past when we hired some agencies or friends to do these things for us also. Well, the return of such systems might also open in turn opportunities for arbitarge again; when savvy user who took the time to observe things directly could get better deals.
- aerodog 2y agoWow, you had agencies and friends to do these things for you?
- do_not_redeem 2y agoTravel agents were quite common in ye olden days before the internet.
- IYasha 2y agoThere are plenty of them today. Though agency-organized trip is times more expensive.
- lupire 2y agoThis was the "concierge" industry which was Google for us dinosaurs.
- dylan604 2y agoYes, and good ones were worth every penny. You can book things online for yourself, but what do you know about the area you are visiting? An agent can recommend things that you would never even think of as being something needing consideration. Even just a phone number to call if you get in a bind.
