  • Trawex travel portal development is a fully
    integrated, web-based travel agency booking
    engine that enables you to supply to your
    customers a wide range of management and
    distribution solutions that were not possible
    without proper automation until now.
  • With our internet booking engine your company is
    able to provide to its customers with access to
    numerous wholesalers of various services and
    worldwide content through a simple XML Web
    Interface integration.
  • As a part of any online travel booking system,
    our reliable online reservation system supports
    travel companies to dynamically adjust prices and
    markup plans, to manage deposits and credit
    limits of contracts, to promote special deals in
    an effective manner, cancellation policies and
    fees.
  • A travel agency is one among the foremost
    important organizations within the tourism
    non-public sector that plays a big and crucial
    role within the entire method of developing and
    promoting tourism within the country or at the
    destination.

3
  • Its an agency that packages and processes all
    the attractions, accesses, amenities and
    accessory services of a country and presents them
    to the tourists.
  • Thats why travel agencies are called image
    builder of a country. A prospective travel office
    is one that arranges travel tickets (air, rail,
    road, and ocean) travel records (passport, visa
    and elective documents for travel), convenience,
    entertainment, and alternative travel-related
    services from the important providers. Its going
    to additionally secure travel insurance, foreign
    currency for the traveling individuals.
  • A travel agency could either be one among a
    sequence of shops or one operation. The work of
    the larger agencies is usually divided between
    completely different divisions, e.g. counter
    service, business travel, and exchange. In
    smaller considerations, every member of the
    employees can need to handle several aspects of
    the agencys business.
  • Some agencies limit their activities to
    composition travel and/or holidays to a selected
    space, however most cater to a really abundant
    wider demand and fulfil all the functions
    associated with acting as an intermediary between
    the providers of holidays, transport,
    accommodation, etc., and the client.

4
  • Companies that deal only with business travel are
    known as Business Travel homes. Theyll even be
    chargeable for coping with the design, publicity,
    and bookings for trade fairs and conferences.
  • Travel agency sales clerks take bookings on
    behalf of tour operators, sell tickets for
    travel, build hotel bookings, take payments from
    the general public and provides recommendation,
    on sorts of holidays, ways of travel, passports,
    visas, travelers cheques, foreign currency etc.,
    they have to possess a decent information of the
    product and destinations offered by the tour in
    operation and travel firms.
  • Managers and assistant managers are responsible
    for the day-to-day operations of branch offices.
  • This includes staffing, marketing, and
    accountancy complaints, etc. travel managers
    should have professional qualifications and
    experience. In a little agency, preparing will
    most likely be at work. Large companies may offer
    a training program.

5
  • The main features of the travel agency business
    are
  • An important link between the clients and
    principal suppliers
  • Image builder
  • Ensure rapid travel service
  • Provider of authentic and reliable travel
    information
  • A social and continuous process

6
  • Early-stage of travel agency business
  • The successful execution of the tour marked the
    beginning of the establishment of modern travel
    agency in the world. In 1845, Thomas Cook led the
    primary large scale visit inside England by
    including some stimulation exercises in the tour
    package.
  • The objective was to enhance the value of the
    package and create a certain appeal. That railway
    journey to Liverpool from Leicester, Nottingham,
    and Derby was the first trip to making some
    profit. As long back as the 1880s, certain travel
    companies in Germany were accredited to sell
    train tickets.
  • However, the railway administrations didnt make
    any provision for offering commission to those
    agents that means those agencies book the train
    tickets for the passengers for which additional
    service charges over and above the printed fare
    of the tickets.
  • In 1910, for instance, a well-organized travel
    agency in Germany could issue tickets for a round
    trip on Lake Victoria and organized a journey
    from Cairo via Aswan to Khartoum. Hence, the
    ticket included the cost of the porters and tent
    age to trek to reach the origin point of the
    river Nile.

16
  • Must-have features to look for travel agency
    booking engine/software
  • Flexibility and Scalability
  • Every travel agency and every other kind of
    business for that matter is separately unique in
    terms of its size, demands, and business
    operations. Your software needs to help you meet
    those operations and demands and to do this, it
    needs to be flexible and scalable software.
    Heres some truth travel customers crave
    flexibility.
  • What if they like the products that you are
    offering but they want to see another difference
    of that product that they cant find on your
    website, for example, if you are unable to run
    that through your system, thats a problem. In
    other words, your software system needs to be
    flexible enough to handle unplanned situations.
  • Besides flexibility, your software also needs to
    be expandability. If your business is going to
    grow and develop, your software needs to keep up
    with your business growth.

17
  • Customized Tour Packaging
  • The following thing your software needs to
    include is tour packaging.
  • Today, travel customers choose their
    accommodations, their activities, their goals,
    and so on.
  • What your software needs to do is customize tour
    packages to meet the requirements and command of
    your clients, by qualifying the clients to create
    a truly customized tour package.
  • Otherwise, your client(s) may not be satisfied
    that they cant make their travel packages for
    the holiday of their dreams, and they are going
    to move on.

18
  • Reservation Management
  • One of the most important features that your
    travel agency software will need to have is
    booking management.
  • You can probably relate to this, knowing how hard
    it can sometimes be to make a reservation.
  • What your software needs to be able to do is to
    track bookings from beginning to end, along with
    payment, path, vouchers, invoices, and quotations
    that are associated with those reservations.
  • You want your software to be fully automated so
    that you can provide your clients with all of the
    services that they are looking for as they go
    about booking reservations.

19
  • Quotation Management System
  • Good online quotation management software is
    another critical element to have in your
    software.
  • Generally speaking, a travel agent will need
    around one day to create a quote for a
    destination collection.
  • But if there are multiple destinations and
    different factors associated with those
    destinations, then the process can take much
    longer than that. To better engage your clients
    and lower your working time, you need an online
    quotation management system that would allow you
    to create a quote within a reduced amount of time
    (ideally one hour or less than that even).
  • This will allow you to create far more quotes in
    a day, which improves your agencys planning and
    productivity.

20
  • Payment Flexibility
  • Last but not least, it will be of great benefit
    and easy for your clients if your travel agency
    can offer them payment flexibility.
  • What this means is that you need to offer several
    different billing options and your software needs
    to be able to accommodate those options, whether
    it be by card, net banking, cheque, or cash.
  • Commonly, travel agencies would book the flights
    and hotel rooms for their clients, and collect
    information later after making their customers
    confirm the booking.
  • But if you can offer your clients more suitable
    payment options, they will greatly appreciate it.

21
  • Benefits of Travel Agency Booking Engine
  • Increase customer satisfaction When software
    handles some of the mundane tasks of running a
    tour operation, you and your staff will have more
    time to focus on the people that count your

    also allow for clients and guest feedback,
    helping you stay on top of any complaints,
    compliments or suggestions for improvement.
  • Avoid double booking Tour operator organizes
    software can be a silver bullet for all of your
    scheduling trial, helping prevent

    cooperation with your third-party business
    partners. It can even help prevent no-shows by
    sending well-timed reminders to clients with
    upcoming trips.
  • Increase sales of value-adding services With
    payment portals and click-to-add purchasing
    capabilities, tour operator systems can improve
    your sales performance by increasing the value of
    individual transactions. For example, when a
    customer is about to book their beach tour, the
    software can ping them with an offer to add on a
    dive trip or sink equipment rental.

22
  • Improve understanding into business
    activities Ever surprise why a few customers
    appear to cherish the unique gives you offer on
    the web or through email marketing, while other
    customers just resolve to verify, they discuss in
    person? Tour operator software supplies the
    information and knowledge expected to identify
    patterns among your clients and answer questions
    like these.
  • Increase employee satisfaction Tour operator
    software takes much of the busy work out of
    managing a tour operation. With less repetitive
    undertakings in the manner, staff can invest more
    time concentrating on clients and improving the

    employees can become more engaged when theyre
    asked to do fewer repetitive mundane tasks.

    software you choose should help make your travel
    agency far more efficient and productive while
    simultaneously serving your customers well and
