AI workflows for travel agencies

A travel agency carries a long chain of small, repeatable tasks between the first enquiry and the trip itself. We set up tested workflows around that chain, give your team practical lessons to use them and keep people in charge of what goes out.

The repetitive work a travel agency carries

Tasks like these come back every week. They are good candidates for a tested workflow with a person checking the result.

  1. Building itineraries

    Turning dates and destinations into a day-by-day itinerary in the agency’s own journey spreadsheet.

  2. Partner requests and follow-ups

    Writing availability requests to accommodation, transfer and activity partners, then following up the ones that have gone quiet.

  3. Rates and budgets

    Looking up partner rates and checking the priced journey against the guest’s stated budget.

  4. Proposals and pre-departure messages

    Preparing the guest proposal, the details needed to raise the invoice and the messages that go out before departure.

What we set up

  • A workspace for your business

    Your context, your trusted sources and instructions for repeatable tasks, organised in one place your team can edit.

  • Starter workflows

    Two agreed workflows to begin with, such as partner availability requests and a budget check against the guest’s stated budget.

  • Self-guided lessons

    Practical lessons inside the workspace, so your team can practise on real tasks, check the output and learn when to ask for help.

  • Human approval

    Each workflow has a named person who checks the result before anything is sent or acted on.

Journey workflows, with the team sending everything

A travel agency that plans multi-stop journeys for its guests wanted help with the work between enquiry and departure. We set up a workspace around its journey process. It covers building itineraries, looking up partner rates, checking a journey against the guest’s budget, drafting partner availability requests and follow-ups, and preparing proposals and pre-departure messages.

Emails are created as drafts. The team reads, edits and sends them. Some steps in the journey are still done by hand.

We have also built a reporting dashboard for a travel business. It is one of the examples on the home page.

This describes what was built, not measured results.

How it works

A defined scope makes the result easier to assess and the handover easier to run.

  1. Map. Choose the workflow, authoritative inputs, responsible people and desired outcome.
  2. Define. Agree systems, access, approval points, exclusions and acceptance criteria.
  3. Build & check. Tailor the workspace and test normal work, missing information and the agreed failure cases.
  4. Hand over & adopt. Give a brief orientation, leave practical lessons and record acceptance. Adoption support stays within the agreed scope.

Setup options

Choose one option. Fees are confirmed after your discovery call, and your proposal confirms one total for the agreed package.

  • Foundation

    Your first repository, set up and connected, with two agreed workflows operated by your team, practical lessons and a tested handover.

  • Connected

    Four agreed workflows in total, connected to the supported systems, with input and output checks and approval steps.

  • Operations

    Six agreed workflows in total, with scheduling, queues and human approvals where feasible. Feasibility is assessed first.

Questions

Will the workflows email guests or partners by themselves?
No. In the travel agency example, the workflows create email drafts and a person reviews and sends them. We agree who approves what before the build.
Can AI get supplier details or rates wrong?
Yes. AI can make errors or miss context. The workflows read from your own records, are set up to ask your team for details they do not have rather than invent them, and your team checks the result before it reaches a guest or a partner.
Does this work with our email and spreadsheets?
That is checked in discovery. The travel agency example ran on email, shared folders and spreadsheets. Supported systems and integration feasibility are assessed before any scope is agreed.
How is guest information handled?
We scope authorised sources, access limits, approval points and human review. Data handling and platform suitability must be checked for the specific use. These controls do not guarantee compliance or replace professional judgement.
