Where the hours go in travel agencies.

Four patterns we hear from travel agencies on every diagnostic call. None of them get fixed by hiring. All of them get fixed by writing the implicit rules down and letting AI carry the rote work.

  • /01
    Itinerary building is hours per booking
    A 12-night Italy trip is hotels, flights, drivers, museum tickets, restaurants — built by hand. The advisor's margin is the time they did not bill.
  • /02
    Supplier coordination across 5–10 vendors
    Hotel hold confirmation, transfer driver, activity supplier, sommelier dinner. Email, WhatsApp, phone, fax. The advisor is the integration layer.
  • /03
    Client communication during trips is reactive
    Client texts at 11pm local: "the room is wrong." Advisor wakes up. Hotel responds in the morning. The client is already upset.
  • /04
    Lead inquiries pile up overnight
    Inbound from website, Instagram, referrals. Advisor responds when they can. Half the leads are with another agency by then.

The automations, in plain English.

7 components · ships in 3–6 weeks
/01

Itinerary draft generator

Client brief + budget + interests → drafted itinerary with hotel, flight, driver, and activity recommendations. Advisor edits and personalizes; build time drops from 6 hours to 2.

/02

Supplier coordination workflow

Per-trip supplier dashboard with confirmations, payments, and follow-ups. Advisor sees the whole trip at a glance, not 11 email threads.

/03

Client portal with trip status and docs

Confirmations, vouchers, day-of details, contact numbers — all in one client-facing app. Clients stop emailing for documents.

/04

24/7 trip support agent

In-trip client questions handled in the client's language with supplier escalation when needed. Advisor sleeps; clients still feel cared for.

/05

Lead intake bot with qualification

Inbound leads captured, qualified, and triaged in under 60 seconds. Advisor sees the right leads first, in the right order.

/06

Post-trip review and referral request

Branded post-trip outreach with review ask + warm-intro referral request. Travel referral conversion runs 25%+; you should be asking.

/07

Supplier commission tracking

Auto-pulled commissions across IATA, hotel programs, and DMC partners. Reconciliation goes from a Friday job to a daily auto-update.

Three steps. No surprises.

01

Audit

15-min discovery → two-week paid diagnostic. Operator interviews, workflow shadowing, and three nasty real examples worked end-to-end. By day ten you have a scope, a price, and a signed-off KPI.

$9,500 · 2 weeks
02

Build

Senior operators in your repo and your Slack. Code, prompts, and evals shipped in 3–6 weeks. KPI signed off in writing before we start. Miss the number, the next sprint is on us.

From $14k · 3–6 weeks
03

Handoff with SOPs

Two rounds of post-launch tuning. Then your team owns it. We hand over the code, the eval harness, the runbook, and the SOPs. No retainer required. No vendor lock-in.

Owned by you · day one

A real engagement.

Anonymized · numbers from the books

A boutique luxury travel agency with 6 advisors was capping out at 220 trips a year. Diagnostic showed itinerary building and supplier coordination as 51% of advisor time. We shipped the itinerary generator and supplier dashboard in six weeks. The same six advisors planned 312 trips the following year, and the client NPS climbed because the in-trip support stopped depending on which advisor was on vacation.

Things travel agencies actually ask.

  • Does it work with Sabre or Amadeus?
    Yes — both, plus Travelport. GDS bookings, fare data, and PNR records flow through the workflow. We do not replace your GDS workstation.
  • Can it handle multi-language client comms?
    Yes — Spanish, French, Italian, German, Mandarin out of the box. The advisor sees everything in English; clients see comms in their language.
  • How does it source supplier rates?
    GDS for air and major hotel chains, your DMC and supplier agreements for the rest. The bot does not negotiate; it captures, organizes, and tracks.
  • What about luxury vs budget travel differences?
    Recipes diverge. Luxury gets bespoke itineraries, white-glove in-trip support, and commission tracking. Budget gets faster lead handling, group-booking automation, and post-trip referral flows.
  • How fast can we go live?
    Two-week diagnostic, 4–6 week build. Itinerary generator and lead intake ship first, usually by week four. Supplier coordination and 24/7 support follow in weeks five and six.
