Ticketing system may process the transactions related to flights, accommodations, transfers, cars, cruise and other travel related services. There are three kinds of ticketing systems, which are most widely used today.

• Ticketing System connected to GDS

API (Application Programming Interface) specify how the developed software and its component intersect for getting the results. XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language which specify the rules of encoding the documents.

The main role of a travel API is to bring contents related to Hotels and other hotel related information such as room (image, description, price, availability, policies, package, hotel chains etc.) and Flights and flight information (description, itinerary, price, availability, PNR etc.). Other Add on API’s include transfers, cruise, tours, payment gateway, SMS, mobile and DTH recharge etc.

To build a global hotel booking system, l APIs / XML play a key role in bridging the best in class inventory. To approach the inventory of hotels and flights to be implemented in a travel reservation system software, travel technology developers have to integrate the travel content in the form of APIs. Travel API integration is a growing requirement for travel management companies and needs complete understanding of the API and the technology used for proper integration.

The main advantage of API integration is, it gives real time content 24/7 for real time bookings through your own system with your payment gateway. Tou will retain your own customers that you have built throughout those years. The Back end admin and management is completely controlled by you.

PROVAB provides wide range of XML integration from hotel consolidators like GTA, Tourico, Hotel beds, DOTW, Hotelspro, Jacob , Special tours, Travco, Travelport, Boscolo, Jumbo, TravelAsia, HotelsDo, Smilo, WHL, Transhotel, Restel, GoGlobal, World Avenues, Paradoes, Hilton, Barcelo, Bonotel, Astral and many more having worldwide inventory from India, Middleeast , Europe, USA, Far East, Central America, South America etc.

PROVAB also provides GDS integration with major GDS systems like Amadeus, Sabre, Apollo, Galileo, Worldspan, Abacus and Infini. 

About White Label:

White label websites are easy to start and work with. These websites can easily modify as per your need. White label means there is no label and you can place your own label there. You can make it and brand it as per your company name. Though the customers book hotels, flights, cars or tour from your website, the back end CRM system is managed by your parent partner/franchiser.

Conclusion: If you have a very good technical team and your vision is big along with your budget you should choose API integration. If you don't have much investing strength and not able to handle lot of technical issue of software/server/api, then you should prefer with White Label Travel Portal.

The first step in your home based endeavor is finding the right host agency. It’s better to have a host agency. It will keep your spending low, give you big commissions, and do your backend office. Moreover, if you are a novice in travel industry, they will train you too and assist you in running the business. Most of the host agencies have their online travel software in place, which you can also get access off.  

With the host agency, you need not have an ARC, CLIA, or IATAN number which is costly and difficult to get for a startup. The host agency’s accreditation number is enough and it will be your parent company.  If you use the GDS, the host will take care of the ARC report which will be time-saving to you.  They will also help you to get a travel agent license as required by your region.

Experts recommend to restrict your travel business first to some niche rather than offering all airlines and hotels in the world. It may be for a particular region or a special holiday package. But don’t market just one product, try two or three. Or you can cater to the travel needs of business travelers to a particular country. Or try your luck in booking charter planes for the high-end corporate travelers or billionaires. Name your travel agency accordingly. Try to offer something, which is little different from the generic node.

You are in travel business to make money by providing quality, reliable service to your customers. Have separate accounts and track business expenses. To get your home-based travel agency clicked, you must have a working knowledge of travel agency software, customer service experience and experience in traveling to the destinations you deal in.

Keep on having very satisfied clients and serve your clients to the max. Word of mouth does wonders in travel business.
