Websites and marketing for travel agencies and tour operators with full booking

By Backlink Hut Backlink Hut · Pattaya, Thailand · since 2021

Travel agencies and OTA-style operators in Thailand need a complex digital stack, multi-product catalogue (tours, transfers, accommodation, activities), supplier-inventory integration, multilingual customer-facing site, internal booking management, finance reconciliation across multiple suppliers and payment methods. Generic e-commerce builds don’t handle travel-specific complexity. We build for travel-vertical workflows specifically.

What travel agencies actually need online

  • Multi-product catalogue, tours (single-day, multi-day, customisable), transfers (private, shared, vehicle types), accommodation packages, activity bookings, combo bundles
  • Supplier inventory integration, real-time inventory pulls from suppliers (hotels, transfer companies, tour operators), or manual-inventory management for custom packages
  • Multilingual booking flow, English + Thai + source-market languages (Russian, Mandarin, Indian-English, German, French) with multi-currency display and payment
  • Booking dashboard — internal admin showing today’s bookings, supplier confirmations pending, customer pickup details, guide-and-driver assignments
  • Finance and accounts module — daily revenue, supplier payouts pending, refund accounting, commission-tracking by supplier, invoice and receipt generation, multi-currency P&L
  • Customer CRM, booking history, repeat-customer flags, communication log (email, WhatsApp, LINE)
  • Aggregator-platform integration — for resellers: Klook, GetYourGuide, Viator, KKDay; for travel agencies serving B2C: Booking.com, Agoda affiliate integrations

FAQ

Will you train our team or do you keep the playbook?

Both options. Most clients prefer fully-managed for the first 12 months, then we do a paid knowledge-transfer engagement (“build the playbook”) if they want to bring it in-house.

What’s the typical engagement size in this vertical?

Verticals with high transaction value (real estate, medical, B2B SaaS) start around $1,500-3,000/month. Higher-volume / lower-AOV verticals (cafés, retail, fitness studios) start around $600-1,200/month.

What about reviews — Google, TripAdvisor, Wongnai, Yandex, Dianping?

We monitor and respond on whichever platforms drive bookings in your vertical. Hotels: Google + TripAdvisor + Booking.com + Agoda. Restaurants: Google + Wongnai. Clinics: Google + Practo + healthtap. Real estate: Google + niche industry portals.

Do you handle industry-specific schema?

Yes — Hotel, Restaurant, MedicalClinic, RealEstateListing, EducationalOrganization, TouristAttraction, etc. Each schema type is validated before publish.
