3 things a small travel business needs to start
selling packages online
3

• Most of the offline Small/Medium businesses in
  travel are focused on selling vacation packages.
  Their competition is not just from large OTAs but
  also from smaller well-funded niche travel
  portals selling tours and packages.
• Thus going online is not a choice, but a
  necessity for a traditional travel agency today.
  Studies have shown that travelers between ages
  18-40 prefer to use their smart phones/tablets
  for their travel booking requirements, rather
  than a website on a desktop or walking into a
  retail shop. Therefore, travel agencies that have
  a mobile booking app, or at least a
  mobile-optimized website with a booking engine
  will have a huge advantage to grow their travel
  business.

• Basically Small travel businesses sell their
  directly contracted hotels and packages, with
  very few selling air. They essentially need three
  things to start with
• CMS based website which can easily maintain,
  without any technical knowledge.
• Booking engine for hotels, activities and
  possibly transfers.
• CRS or Inventory Management System, where they
  can load all their contracted inventory along
  with rates and business rules

CMS based website for Travel Business

• A CMS Based website is a platform for any travel
  business to manage easily their website. One can
  easily add, modify or delete content such as
  description and images related to hotels. They
  can also manage meta data including each page
  title and description, to make their site more
  search engine friendly.
• A CMS based portal provides full control to the
  user over their website and decreases cost as
  well as dependency on webmasters and IT
  specialists. Moreover, it is multilingual so the
  user can easily create the content in a language
  of their choice and thereby target specific
  regions.
