Create a Travel Website
Creating a website for a travel agency is a topic that has been discussed for more than one year. Materials on this topic can also be found in this publication. However, the management of a travel company does not always ask the question: does your company need a website, and if so, why?
For a long time, this was a mystery to me – after all, I know a lot of travel agencies that exist and develop exclusively thanks to the Internet. But everything fell into place. The paradox is that if you do not believe in favor of the Internet in general. And Internet advertising in particular, then you most likely will not succeed, because in this case, the attitude towards creating a website will be rather cool: well, let’s make a website , and let it be. In the best case, we will advertise, try for a couple of months and see if it works or not. Of course, in this way, you will attract a certain number of tourists, but most likely there will not be a radical increase. Think, this is not yours? After all, hundreds of companies exist due to other factors – convenient location, advertising in the press, recommendations.
In fact, the CEOs of successful online firms literally live on it. They are inventing something that makes the site more user-friendly, coming up with new features. They experiment with advertising on the Internet, try various advertising platforms for travel website design services. Monitor the statistics of visits to their own site. And, of course, they spend a significant share of the advertising budget on the support and development of the site, on its advertising. And it won’t be $ 200 or even $ 500 a month. Are you ready to follow their lead? If yes, then good luck! If you succeed, then you will see a serious increase – dozens and even hundreds of tourists a month attracted thanks to the Internet.
Who should be entrusted with the Creation of the Site?
The creation of a website should be entrusted to a professional studio. In the future, part of the work to support and develop it can be entrusted to your full-time or freelance employee – in case of non-cardinal changes, this will turn out faster and cheaper. Global alterations, of course, should be done by those who designed the site. It is also possible that a so-called content management system has been created on the site, which allows travel agency employees who do not own any programs more complicated than Microsoft Word to change the content. Professionals should be entrusted with the work of website promotion, especially that part of it, which is associated with registration in search engines and website optimization for them. After all, visitors from search engines are the most targeted for you, and with successful results, you can attract hundreds of real interested visitors from there a day.
When choosing a company – a website developer, it makes sense to pay attention to whether it has completed projects on tourism topics. Experience in the topic and individual ready-made standard modules will simplify, speed up and reduce the cost of the process of creating a website.

Key Features
If you are an agency working in mass destinations, then, most likely, the database of offers of tour operators will be the key module of your site. Of course, there are many travel agency sites that are limited only to a declarative listing of the proposed countries and an invitation to call the office, but it is difficult to attract a tourist in this way. After all, it will be strange to see an online store in which goods are presented without prices. To present offers of tour operators on the website, you can use the tour search Contact Us and booking systems.
