Domestic and international carriers are now not only catering to the frequent flyer and businessman, but also to the common man who invests once a year probably in a holiday. Airlines are offering very attractive deals and discounts to enable the tourist to pay the bare minimum on travel and extend the funds towards a quality vacation. They offer frequent flyer points to the businessman and hotel and motel tie ups to the first time travelers. Many airlines are now also offering frills such as domestic and international rent a car facility, national and international travel desk facilities free of charge and great sightseeing offers.
Their deals and discounts also include reduced hotel tariffs and packages such as the internationally acclaimed travel-bed-breakfast-dinner deal. Domestic and international carriers are also offering their services online and offline 24×7 at the transit lounges of many international and domestic airports for last minute travel arrangements.

Travel no more holds the interest of the tourist if the package doesn’t hold the lure of attractive commissioned goodies. The travel perks offered by airlines and hotels are many and any good travel agent can help you identify the best deals in the industry. As far as airlines are concerned, there are a number of ways in which they offer tourists real value for the money spent. There are dedicated credit card tie ups that earn the traveler points that can be redeemed either as a discount or extra miles per point.
The points can also be redeemed for extended domestic travel, when and as required. The airlines also offer travel perks by signing agreements with certain graded hotels. The discounted rates offered through the tie up are then extended to their customers via discounted tariffs, thus encouraging additional traffic to and fro. A number of domestic and international airlines also offer discounted travel packages along with the ticketing thus becoming a one stop shop for the new traveler and the businessman.

In sync with the travel and tourism boom being witnessed globally, hotels have also geared up with their in-house facilities and frills. The dedicated services offered by the graded hotels today include:
- Travel desk
- Fitness center
