Today’s travel marketplace resembles a bazaar! And if you’ve shopped in bazaars around the world, you know the asking price is simply the start of negotiations. If you play the game well and are a savvy shopper, you’ll come away with a good deal. If not, you’ll pay much more than you should. And that’s the way the game is played in the travel bazaar in which you’ll be shopping.

When you enter the travel bazaar, you’re faced with situations such as these:

• The New York City Department of consumer Affairs shopped 49 travel agencies for airline fares for a specific itinerary. Rarely did two agents come up with the same fare, and differences in fares quoted were as much as 50 percent.

• One high roller booked a room in a French luxury hotel for $500 a night. Talking to another guest, he learned that this fellow had purchased a three-day package at the hotel for $500 total.

• A couple booked a week-long Caribbean cruise that listed in the cruise line’s brochure for $1660 per person. Knowing that cruise discounts are available. They called three travel agencies and got fares of $1,232, $1,100 and — the one they took — $978. They were quite pleased with their 40 percent discount until they learned the couple in the cabin next to them paid just $928.

This bazaarlike nature of the travel marketplace should not necessarily be unwelcome, because in the travel bazaar bargains are plentiful for those in the know. If you are aware of how the marketplace operates and you know the rules you need to follow, you can substantially cut the cost of your travels.
