UK's Thomas Cook goes bankrupt, thousands of tourists stranded

The world's oldest travel company, Thomas Cook, has collapsed, leaving more than 600,000 people who bought its package holidays stranded in various countries spanning the globe.
The British government has been urged to intervene with the economic effect likely to spread beyond the travel industry.
The collapse triggered Operation Matterhorn, the rescue mission to bring home British holidaymakers from across the world.
Al Jazeera's Catherine Stancl reports from London.

It has been a wonder to me how any travel agency can survive the internet age when everything involving travel is on-line and available to everyone in seconds. the travel agency industry has lived out it's useful life. It has been this way for years.

[@necilya]

Jonathan C. Some people buy in agencies because they don’t won’t to plan. Some others because you don’t have to pay all in once. My cousin bought her ticket in an agency last year because they had a deal on extra kilos. My friend because he lost his credit card and could only pay cash. When you are traveling as a group too, it can be helpful apparently.

[@tarrynlea]

They're not just an agency, they were also an airline. I booked a regular air ticket with them online, in the normal way

[@kekelaward]

You also have scammers like WorldVentures who you pay a monthly fee to. Of course, in 2017 the same thing happened to them, could not pay their employees and vendors millions of dollars, people got to destinations only to find the hotels refused service as WV had taken their money, but didn't pay the hotels. Meanwhile, the C level execs were buying themselves 911s and Maserati's.

[@ramblingrose7375]

Plus most agents get a huge cut of the ticket price and they never find you a good deal. Don't know how they survive. From the sounds of it, they are not surviving.
