Relationship marketing has received much attention and widespread publicity over the past ten years and has moved to the forefront of research and practice. It provides organizations with a management tool to establish economically profitable relationships, networks and interactions with different, but equally important stakeholder markets. The purpose of the article is to research the relationship marketing practices of travel agencies in the Western Cape province. The empirical research component of the study consisted of the completion of structured questionnaires through personal interviews. The questionnaire consisted of a structured format and incorporated two types of questions, namely closed-ended questions and five point Likert-type statements. The findings of the study concluded that the relationships between travel agencies and the different role players in their market environment are fragmented. The direct marketing initiatives of SAA and hotel groups such as the Southern Sun and Protea hotels are putting strain on the current relationship between travel agencies and these suppliers. The managerial implications for the study specify that an environment must be created which is more accessible to the critical interaction between the travel agency in the Western Cape province and its different role players. This is especially relevant considering that organisations are continuously becoming more aware that their success within a highly competitive market environment depends on the building of long term relationships with each of these role players.

The whole world is going through an unprecedented health crisis, which has affected all sectors of global economy. In actual context, the tourism industry is particularly affected by COVID-19. In this context, the present chapter focuses on one specific subsector: travel agencies. These companies have not only stopped booking new trips, but also had to cancel bookings made prior to 2020. Therefore, many agencies did not manage to survive, and those that did are struggling. Considering this scenario, the present study aims to characterise the state of the art on this phenomenon – the effects of COVID-19 on travel agencies. To this end, all studies containing the keywords “covid” and “travel agency” published on the Scopus database were retrieved and subjected to a content analysis. The findings reveal a greater use of new technologies and online platforms. Moreover, studies point to a focus on sustainable and inclusive tourism, as well as on so far neglected market segments, as alternatives for recovering this sector.
