Visitors can find almost any kind of restaurant in most of the lange cities in America. The telephone book lists restaurants for each cily according to mame, arca of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Miany restaurants post their mnenus in the window so you can have some idea of the price and kind of food before you enter. If the menu is not posted, and you are uncertain about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you are seated at a table, or else just ask about the price range. Appearances from the outside can be misleading-what looks like a small, informal restauramt may really be very expensive, and what looks lilke a large , expensive restaurant may be very reasonable.
【正确答案】：旅行代理商的职能与大多数其它零售商的职能不同,因为旅行代理商并不是买来产品后再销售给顾客,只是在顾客决定参加某项旅游后,代理商代表顾客向经营商预购旅游产品,因此代理离并不“贮藏”旅游产品。这对于旅游行业的产品分销有两个重要的意义。
第一,在旅游行业建立企业比在其它零售行业成本少;第二,代理商无需想方设法处理他们已购置的产品,因此他们对特定的产品或公司没有太多的品牌忠诚度。然而,近些年来,由于那些完成指定销售的代理商可以通过谈判从经营商那里获取高额的佣金,使得代理商在旅游销售方面更加商业化。
