Mga sis, thank you sa thread na ito. Bigla ako nagkainteres magtayo ng travel agency.

@sis kolinetongue
Question lang, what is the best location for a travel agency? Ok ba basta matao ang lugar? or better kung sa maraming turista?

Ok din ba mag-operate kahit di pa IATA certified? Required ba yon in the long run?

Halimbawang wala pa akong abacus, pag may nag-inquire sa akin na client, pano ko siya mabibigyan ng service right there and then? Diba tatawag pa ako sa partner kong IATA so it would take time?

Sorry daming tanong.

TIA

^^location= both, mataas ang foot traffic, madaming umaalis ng bansa (sabagay given na yan sa pinoy daming gusto umabroad), at as much as possible hindi pa saturated yung area. based lahat yan sa aking experience. yung isang travel agency dito sa bayan namin, nagclose na last week. so yung amin na lang natitira.

ok lang kahit hindi ka IATA, mahirap at malaking capital kase ang kelangan if pa accredit sa IATA, one thing, may quota na sila sa tiketing. hindi pa din kami IATA, nakikitie-up lang he he

regarding abacus, kung wala kang abacus medyo matagal ang pagsagot mo sa inquiries lalo na sa walk in clients. kase kelangan mo pa i-chat yung IATA or travel agency ng friend mo na may abacus, sa services pa lang medyo minus ka na sa walk-in client mo kase maghihintay sya. alam naman natin na karamihang client ng travel ageny ay nasa Class A, B and C. mainipin mga clients ng ganitong business. yun ang ikinatalo ng aming competitor dito sa aming bayan, wala syang abacus kaya lumilipat yung mga clients sa amin.

pero kung mabilis magreply yung IATA or travel agency na tie up mo, wala namang problema. in fact, wala din kaming abacus for almost 1 year. yun nga lang very supportive yung friend ko na may travel agency na may abacus.

Hi mga sis, first post ko ito :)

encouraging ang mga sharings nyo, it makes me more excited sa pag put up ng business..

question lang, kung manila or makati-based ba ko,
maging successful din kaya ang travel agency ko?

isa pang question,
from experience, [textspeak!] bang threat/risk/problem sa ganitong business?

tia!


challenge ito sis, saka sa dinami-dami ng tao at travellers dyan sa Makati or Manila, meron at meron ka magiging clients. saka madami ka naman sigurong friends na gusto magtravel puwede mo sila alukin.

di ba sa Manila madaming food stalls na pare-pareho lang din naman ang binebenta? nakakasurvive naman sila sa tingin ko. otherwise, magsasara na sila.

and, sa services naman yan magkakatalo. gandahan mo lang yung services mo, am sure ikaw ang pupuntahan ng mga clients.

sa tingin ko low risk lang ang travel agency business. puro cash naman lahat. siyempre hindi mo naman titiketan kung walang payment. kung rebooking may bayad naman lahat yan. dapat lang siguro smart at alerto yung tao na papabantayin mo sa business mo. matiyaga dapat kase sobrang detalyado ang transactions, like hours ng flight, date ng flight, booking class etc etc.

isang pagkakamali lang kase sa flight details yun ang ikagagalit ng customer mo. kaya dapat ulit-ulitin mo sa kanya yung details, before issuing yung ticket.

but as they say, lahat ng business may risk. just be prepared.

just wanna share you this:

i have an officemate na magtatayo na din ng travel agency sa bandang Laguna (hometown nya). natutuwa naman ako kase nainfluenced ko sya na magtayo ng ganitong business. dito sa office, marami na akong naimpluwensyahan na magbusiness (not travel agency), nakakatuwa, kase unti-unti nagbu-business na sila. hindi na lang sa suweldo umaasa. may silbi din pala ako he he he


at sa mga nag ppm po regarding yung set up at mga equipment na kelangan, paki-back read na lang please...may nakapost na po dito. :)

Go Go Go Negosyo!

This is my online travel store- www.gofasttravel.gttrends.net. You may browse and download the powerpoint presentation.

I franchise for it on 15k, lifetime na yan. But you need to pay $19.95 for the website maintenance monthly.

It is online yes, where in concept is book and buy, but we have reservation agents in the office for the tour packages and other hotel reservation.

I am currently earning $8-10 for international successful booking and $5-8 for domestic.

I can also help out on how to create quotation, computation of packages and even SOP for the passport and visa.

sis ako rin help mo naman :)

mga sis i just came from the seminar and this is what i have learned

- as a starter i really need to tie-up with agency for domestic and international bookings
- if wala ka pa mahanap na agency then you can do tour packages in fairness based sa nasabi ng speaker sa seminar you can get at some hotels 50% off the published rate tapos you as a travel agency bahala na magmarkup
- very important to have mga permits so you can get what the call contracted rates sa hotel, important din ang permits when you want to tie up with an IATA and wholesaler hotel agency
- grabe ang mahal ng cash bond ng mga domestic airlines as in sobrang mahal, eh di lalo na if you want to be an IATA travel agency. you need this cash bond with the domestic airline or sa shipping so you can directly book with them for your clients. example cebu pacific daw is 150,000 cash bond, pal is 300k, etc.
- important then you have the amadeus, or abacus or galileo system to see the reservation of all airlines and hotels.
- ang earnings ng isang travel agency is thru the ff:
a. domestic ticketing - service charge of 100-250 marked up on the ticket
b. international ticketing - difference from the rate sheet that the airline gives to IATA and from gross rate of amadeus system or abacus or galileo in short the published rate.
c. tour packages - for domestic packages need to submit permits to hotels then they will give you a contracted rate which is way lower than the published rate
- for international packages you need to tie-up with a IATA agency to get these packages
d. passport assistance - usually earn mga 500
e. tourist visa assistance - usually earn mga 2000-3000
f. field trips or educational tours
g. NSO accreditation - earn mga 150

kaya on monday first plan ko is to go to munisipyo to get list of reqts for business permit and see if papayagan ako sa home based. balak ko kasi muna kahit tour packages lang arrange. pag medyo okay tska ako makipag tie up sa IATA agencies for ticketing and so on..

ohh well yun ang 3k worth of information nakuha ko sa seminar. hehe.. if may questions kayo il try to answer them  :)

naku sister san ka naman kukuha ng ka tie up? interested talaga ako

^hindi mahal ang abacus if it's provided by your IATA sis. like i said, 1900 lang yung training plus brochure na 450.

^^wala naman bayad sa IATA namin. at first, meron silang service fee na P20 per ticket. pero later on, naging free of charge na bawat ticket. at meron pa silang inooffer na 4% commission, pero til now wala pa daw approval ng management nila. hopefully this summer ok na. we just provided them business permit tapos nagpadala na sila ng contract. we also established na yung credit line. bale lahat ng natiketan this week sa monday ang bayad. kaya sobrang magaan.

Sis ask ko lang kung saang IATA yang 1900 ang training...and also ano anong mga IATA ang pumapayag ng tie-up? Im really serious about entering this business and gusto ko na sana makipagtie-up. I have an available office na and the other equipments needed. Thanks!
