Legal requirements to set up a travel agency

If you still do not have a physical travel agency you should start with the same as any other company: trademark registration, registration in social security, etc. In addition to the requirements of any other type of business, travel agencies must meet two fundamental requirements: the mandatory bond or guarantee and liability insurance. If you have doubts about the steps you should take we advise you to put yourself in the hands of professionals: consultancies, travel franchises or travel agency associations.

it is not necessary to have any specific title to sell tourist services if it is necessary to apply for a travel agency license. For this, you should consult with the tourism council of your autonomous community, as each one has specific requirements. Once you have all the necessary documents you must present them in the corresponding counseling.

How to create an online travel agency

Once we have met the legal requirements (or if we already have a traditional travel agency) we must worry about how to work the digital or online part of the business. We have many options to create a travel agency but from our experience, the best option is to have a  technological partner to advise us and solve all the problems and problems that will arise during the development of the project.we can advise you so that you can set up a travel agency in a simple, fast and successful way.
Whether you work with us or assume the project on your own you must take care of certain details:
Choose the best domain for your travel agency. As we explained to you, choosing a good domain for your travel agency can be fundamental for your marketing strategy. We recommend that if you have it clear you book as soon as possible. The cost is very low, from $ 5 a year, and the extra time in reserving it can make us lose the possibility of registering it.

Products and suppliers for your travel agency

One of the fundamental points for setting up an online travel agency is to have quality products and suppliers that provide services that are interesting for your customers. To have a great offer and variety, you must ensure that you have booking engines that use XML connections to access the catalog and rates of wholesalers and tour operators.

Do you want to specialize and offer unique products? Make sure you have a powerful own package manager with which to insert and offer your services regardless of the provider and if it is accessible through web services.

Navigation and design of your travel agency

Almost as important as having a good product and adequate suppliers is to arrange the content and products of our website so that the navigation is intuitive for the user. You must have an attractive web page whose design adapts to users' devices: mobile phones, tablets, and computers.

Marketing strategy for your travel agency

There is no use in setting up the best travel agency in the market if you do not accompany your project with a good marketing strategy. You must take into account the positioning, the search engine advertising, and the communication strategy in social networks. Does your website allow you to adapt your content to your marketing strategy?
