B2B Travel Portal Development: Key Benefits for Travel Companies

by Tech Geekk writer
The rapid digitalization of the world around us is no secret and this revolution has touched every industry across the globe, including the travel sector. This change has, however, had particularly interesting ramifications for the travel industry, driving a pressing need for Business2Business (B2B) travel portals among other things.

Being an online booking engine, it offers access to real-time online bookings along with the availability to travel agents and tour operators over a consolidated platform. Further, it supports a multi-level booking engine and distribution, which is why agents can get connected to numerous travel service providers across the globe. This also allows travel partners to create their sub-nets of agents and encourage expanding sales even further.

Why? Well, because of the sheer number of benefits such portals stand to offer. Listed below are some of the key benefits of B2B travel portals for companies:

  1. Automatic bookings: Making reservations manually, be it for hotels, flights, or other such relevant factors, usually is a time-consuming process. This runs the risk of customer churn on account of the time-consuming process. Thankfully, this challenge is easily addressed with modern travel portals that can not only accelerate but also automate the bookings process and then also push out updated information to customers as well as on their portals.
  2. Increased cost efficiency: With all the quick and easy access to information, and real-time rates, there has been growing awareness and demand for efficient rates. So, how does a travel portal help in this regard? Well, with a new-age travel portal in your arsenal, one can offer the best possible rates based on factors such as demand, destination, route, etc. As for businesses, they do not have to do these time-consuming calculations manually because their technology-driven portal will do it for them.
  3. Real-time access: In this fast-paced, increasingly digital world, it has been for everyone to see that data is the new oil, i.e. data and information are extremely precious commodities. Now, the new-age customer wants to be able to access all this information when they want it and from whatever device they choose. Without a travel portal, the business’ customers would need to visit the agency in person and that is an unacceptable proposition in this day and age and can result in customer churn. With a modern travel portal, companies can easily avoid this problem.
  4. Better customer support: Any business in any industry needs robust customer support if it wants to succeed and for that, you need to establish seamless means of communication and not simply deliver information but also engage with them, answer their queries, etc. To that end, travel portals can play a crucial role, allowing companies to ensure customers have round-the-clock access to information and support to make informed decisions about their travels in real-time.

There is no doubting the fact that the pandemic delivered a significant blow to the travel industry. However, with the coronavirus pandemic now receding and countries opening up their borders to travelers, demand has picked up like there is no tomorrow. However, it is not this rapidly growing demand that companies must keep up with; i.e. to truly ensure the success of their businesses, travel companies must also embrace the rapid digitalization of the industry. The failure to do so will, inevitably, have catastrophic results. This holds for B2B travel businesses as well, who stand to gain immensely from technology-backed portals which can help such companies expand their customer base, reel in more sales, enhance efficiency, and so much more. Now that you understand how much you stand to gain from B2B travel portal development, it is time to start looking for an experienced travel portal software development company and get started on your project ASAP.
