How to manage a travel agency: packages, bookings and leads

3 min read · Updated 10 November 2026 · By the PalmGro Flow team

Quick answer

How do I manage a travel agency's packages, bookings and enquiries?

Keep tour packages with itinerary and pricing in one place, track every enquiry in a CRM from quote to booking, record bookings with traveller details and payments, manage hotel and transport confirmations as tasks with dates, and remind travellers before departure. PalmGro Flow has a travel agency add-on with packages, bookings and its own CRM.

Enquiries

Travel enquiries are often seasonal and urgent. Respond fast with a quote and two package options. Follow up within 24 hours. See lead follow-up.

Packages

Each package: destination, days, itinerary day by day, inclusions, exclusions, price per person, validity. Reuse and adjust instead of building every quote from scratch.

Bookings

  • Traveller names, ages, ID details as needed.
  • Travel dates and rooms.
  • Total price, advance received, balance due date.
  • Supplier confirmations: hotels, transport, activities.

Supplier tasks

Each booking creates tasks: confirm hotel, book transport, send vouchers. With dates before travel.

Payments

Advance at booking, balance before travel. Reminders before the balance due date.

Before departure

Send the final itinerary, vouchers and emergency contacts. A reminder a day before.

How PalmGro Flow helps

PalmGro Flow's travel agency add-on manages tour packages with itinerary and pricing, bookings with traveller and payment tracking, and its own configurable CRM for enquiries. Team tasks, attendance, WhatsApp reminders and finance work alongside it.

Questions people ask

How much advance should a travel agency take?

Enough to cover non-refundable supplier bookings at least. Many take a fixed percentage at booking.

Can I reuse package itineraries?

Yes. Save packages and adjust dates and prices for each quote.

How do I handle cancellations?

Write cancellation charges in the booking terms, based on supplier policies.
