The Best Travel Search Engine for Small Travel Agencies

· TTSadmin

Just about any individual or any business can benefit from regularly applying the “KISS” maxim – Keep It Simple, Sweetie. 

This is particularly true for small travel agencies. Small agency travel agents must not only provide exceptional and customized services to their clients; they must also work to grow their business. Any search engine that offers an easy booking system that supports the primary GDS cores, and works with any Internet browser, operating system, and platform is most welcome (and in keeping with the KISS maxim).

The Ingredients of a “Best” Travel Search Engine

Let’s look at some of the qualities of a simple but “best” travel search engine for your small travel agency:

  • Easy Integration:  an effective search engine easily integrates with your agency’s website.  This reduces implementation costs to your agency.  It also reduces the complexity of use for you and your clients.

  • Booking Flow:  the booking process should be easy, fast, and feature-rich.

  • Advanced Functions:  should include advanced search, extensive flight and pricing details, rich filter-capable flight results, and advanced passenger data.

  • Registration: Registration should enable you to easily build your database of online clients. 

  • 24/7 Service:  clients who prefer to handle their own flight bookings should be able to do so on a 24/7 basis.

  • Anonymous Search: allows IATA and non-IATA agencies to customize their iframe sizes and colors.

  • Admin Backoffice Support:  you should be able to easily customize your booking, setup fees, export client data, support custom remarks, support preferred and blacklisted carriers, booking confirmation content, etc., and offer seamless integration.

Staying Productive and Mobile

One of the most important functions of any search engine solution for travel agents is that it be fully “integratable and synchronizable” across devices. 

Some companies offer travel search engine solutions that are robust – and costly. WeBook has created a fully integratable, synchronisable search engine that is robust and one-click easy to install – and cost-effective.
