Travel Agency/Tour Company

[missywitchy]

You will still get penalized kasi dapat within 1 mo. of getting your DTI eh ma register mo na sa BIR at Mayor's Office ang business mo. I suggest kumuha ka na lang ng bagong DTI sa January. Just inform your contacts that you are changing business name.

Help mga sis. I need tour operators Bora/Palawan/Bohol/Cebu etc. May nakaline-up kasi na two corporate accounts ako na nakuha. And sa akin daw sila kukuha ng mga packages by December. Ang problema, walang pumapansin sa akin na travel agencies or IATA members na nakausap ko. Sabi nila tumatangap daw sila ng tieup pero the next day di nako kinakausap. Weird!! Anyway..kailangan ko man lang na may maipakita na packages. Wheww!!

[BAISANAN]

im interested in this kind of biz kaso lang kulang ako sa mga resources like agency na pwedeng maka tie-up para sa mga tour packages etc. saka by jan. pako kukuha ng dti para pati bir at mayors permit ay sabay na. btw. since home based as in ok lang ba talaga na ang gamiting address sa bahay? puwede sana sa condo kaso lang taga sa  singilan sa mayors permit bandang manila kasi.

[matetreyes]

sisses, kung online travel coordinator ka lang (walang flight bookings and visa assistance) need din ba magpa-mayor's permit and bir?

I'll be opening Travel Agency din next year. More on International Packages and ticketing sana ang gusto ko.

[ElizE]

Hi mga sis. I need help. Di ko na kasi alam anong uunahin ko. As of now, meron akong ka-tieup na Travel Agency, hindi siya IATA member, so parang subagent nila ako. They got me an access/account to zest air and cebupac for free. Then every ticket that i issue, i will just give them 50pesos. I gave a 10,000 bond na consumable naman ng tickets. Ok ba yung system na ganito?? Ano ba kasi difference if sa IATA member or non-IATA member ako mag tie-up?? Mas mura ba tickets sa IATA members?

And one more thing, may mga hotels ba na nagbibigay ng contracted rates kahit DTI pa lang meron and kahit na di ako directly pumunta sa hotels?? TIA!!

Hello po. Gusto ko rin po mag start ng sarili kong Home Based Travel Agency. I was able to find a ticketing software for airlines. problem ko nalang yung tour packages? pano po ba ito? may nakausap na akong nag oofffer ng assistance for 8k, pero kadalasan i-ddeadma na ako pag meeting time na. yung isa naman, scammer raw accdg sa nabasa kong reviews.

Help naman mga Sis. Super tagal ko na kasi tong gusto... years na.

[rascielll]

Heto na, we already filed for a DTI permit already via online and paid via Gcash. Next step  na namin is to go to DTI for submission of the application form and valid IDs.

Then ito na, Mayor's permit and BIR na. We are currently renting in taguig and inaantay namin yung sagot nung owner if payag sya to use the address for business permit lang. di naman kasi namin gagalawin kung ano meron dun since Home Based lang kami.

@rascielll - you have to bring your contract of lease if you're renting. i just got my business permit last friday. We're renting din and also homebased.

[snowyice]

^thanks for the immediate response! sis paano ba kapag homebase? alam ba ng ka tie up mong IATA na homebase ka? may abacus system ka nb?

[donselle]

Mga sis, bka may marerefer kayong account executive/sales executive working at group desk of Z2/PR/2P/5J?

Ang dami kong grupong pending la ako airline rates to package with hotel and tours. Matagal din ang response through my tie up na non-iata? ;(

Ask ko narin panu ba magpa-install ng Amadeus/Abacus? I only have VIA now.

Thnks!

[maye2k]

I think before you could access/install a certain airline reservation system such as abacus and amadeus, you still need to undergo formal training. They have satellite offices located in major cities nationwide and I think they also require necessary permits that would vouch the legality of your business. I used to work for a travel agency and done with the training both abacus and amadeus. I'm not just sure if they allow training for those who doesn't have physical office.

[snowyice]

yung friend ko na may travel agency sabi niya sa PAL daw siya mismo nag training and mahirap daw ang system ng PAL unlike sa Cebupac.  Sad to say due to misunderstanding with his partners pull out na niya shares niya.
