Frequently asked questions
What does a travel marketing agency actually do?
A travel-specialist agency builds and runs the demand system: paid campaigns per destination or itinerary, creative production, landing pages and enquiry flows, CRM and messaging follow-up, and tracking that reports bookings rather than form fills. The specialism matters because travel has seasonality, long consideration windows and supplier-cost margins that generalist agencies routinely mis-model.
How much does travel marketing cost?
Management retainers typically run from $599 to $2,499 a month depending on scope, with media budget billed separately at $2,000 to $25,000 a month for most independent operators. Local equivalents apply in AED, GBP, EUR, SGD, AUD and INR. The honest way to size it is from your average trip value, gross margin and booking target.
How long before travel marketing produces bookings?
First enquiries usually arrive within seven to fourteen days of launch. Cost per qualified enquiry stabilises in month two. Cost per booking becomes reliable only after a full booking cycle, which is two to four weeks for short-haul and six to twelve months for expedition and luxury travel.
Do you work with travel companies outside India?
Yes. We work with travel businesses in the UAE and wider Gulf, the UK and Europe, the US and Canada, Singapore, Thailand and Australia, billing in local currency and running on the client's time zone for weekly calls and approvals.
What makes travel marketing different from general performance marketing?
Three things: margin is on the supplier-cost spread rather than on revenue, so cost per booking must be judged against gross margin; demand is seasonal and needs budget front-loaded ahead of booking windows; and enquiry quality varies enormously, so the funnel has to score and feed back qualification rather than optimise for cheap form fills.
Can you fix lead quality rather than just generate more leads?
Usually it is the first thing worth fixing. We rebuild the enquiry form around budget, party size and travel window, score each enquiry, and send the qualified-versus-unqualified signal back to the ad platforms so they optimise towards people who actually book.
