The Benefits To A Travel Agency Integrating No-Code Travel Technology

March 24, 2023


For the travel and hospitality sector, the coronavirus pandemic had a devastating effect,  However, with the ongoing relaxation of travel restrictions and countries worldwide eager to welcome fully vaccinated UK tourists, holidaymakers keen to get some sun, sand and sangria have turned to online travel agents rather than traditional travel agencies. 



How to be an online travel agent... The online travel revolution is only just getting going. With the sector primed to almost double in the next five years, new travel agencies are opening as more entrepreneurs enter the market to service the expanding online demand.However, taking the traditional approach to getting set up online is both complex and expensive, often costing tens of thousands of pounds and involving IT development teams or investing in legacy systems that are far more complex than you need.
What if you could customise your travel technology, choosing what you needed and have it installed, working and earning you money in less than a week?With over thirty years in the travel industry, we knew that online travel agents wanted powerful travel technology without the associated complexity and high costs. Also, we knew from our own experience that travel agents rarely have advanced IT skills and wanted a simple to use solution that didn’t involve fiddling with computer code or employing an IT expert every time they needed to change their website. So we developed a cloud-based travel agency software platform that empowers travel businesses to innovate and disrupt the industry.

What is no-code travel technology?

No-code lets you build applications without being able to write computer code. Instead, you drag and drop pre-built blocks to create advanced applications. 
Now imagine that was possible for a travel website, letting you compete head-to-head with global brands…
● Travel booking widgets ● Payment infrastructure ● Multiple search boxes ● Flexible layouts With a selection of widgets that are ready to go out of the box, fully customisable and can connect to all of your familiar suppliers, a no-code travel website is not only possible but cost-effective and quick to deploy.

Can a no-code travel website give you everything you need to succeed?

The simple answer is yes, but that’s going to make this a very short article, so let me elaborate. For travel companies, technology is the differentiator that will allow them to compete against large global players. Historically adopting new tech involved a huge cost, a long lead time and significant disruption to your business, as well as the steep learning curve to get to grips with the complexity of your new legacy software. By removing the complexity, you save time, money and get your travel website up and running in a fraction of the time. Let me show you what a no-code travel website gives you to illustrate what I mean.
Travel Booking Widgets and Multiple search boxes Completely customisable to give your customers a smooth, seamless booking experience and can be added you your website with just a few lines of code. Includes search, results, extras and secure payment. Search boxes that can be customised to match your website and branding. Have all of your products in one search box or split them up by product - your choice.
Dynamic Offer Boxes and Supplier Directory Highlight your latest flights, hotels or package holidays that let your customers book directly from the box. Connect to a vast array of suppliers - 900 airlines, 2.5 million hotels, apartments and villas. Plus car hire, transfers, in-country experiences and many other extras.
Pricing Rules and Payment infrastructure  You have complete control over how you price products - managing mark up in a way that suits your business. You decide if it’s by product type, destination, dates or supplier. When it comes to accepting payments from your customers, it’s easy. Accept all the major debit and credit cards, payment wallets like ApplePay and PayPal, direct debits, and manage all of this with Stripe, Square or Braintree.
Order Manager This is the beating heart of your online travel business. The dashboard lets you view bookings, payments and customers at a glance, giving you a complete view of every step of your customers holiday.A no-code travel website gives you all of the options you’d expect from a custom-built or legacy system far more quickly, without the learning curve and at a fraction of the cost.

Is a no-code travel website a lot less expensive?

Yes, significantly cheaper than other options; here’s why.  If you choose to build from scratch, you’ll be looking at hundreds if not thousands of hours of coding and development time, assuming you can find a team with the right skills (currently 90,000+ IT vacancies in the UK). That’s going to add up to tens of thousands of pounds plus ongoing maintenance costs.If you buy off the shelf ‘legacy software’, the cost is high, and the lead-time to get you up and running will be long and frustrating. However, as a no-code travel technology supplier, we can offer you three pricing options. The first starts from just £99 per month for customers who want immediate access to powerful travel technology that can be embedded in their website with just a few lines of code. If you want a new, fully functional travel website that converts browsers to buyers and matches your existing branding, that’s just £60 per month more, £159, and includes secure, reliable hosting.
For the full bespoke experience, give us a call, and we can discuss what you need. The online travel market is expanding rapidly to keep pace with the desire to travel now many of the travel restrictions have been lifted. Travelgenix has perfected no-code technology to get your website up and running quickly, cost-effectively and offer all the features you’ll need to run a successful online travel business.
