Websites for travel agents & tour operators
Website design for travel agents and tour operators in Kolkata
Kolkata families plan the Puja trip, the Darjeeling–Gangtok circuit or a first holiday abroad on their phones now, comparing packages long before they visit an office. We build websites for travel agents and tour operators that set out each package properly, with the itinerary, what’s included and an honest starting price, and send enquiries straight to your WhatsApp.
What your customers type into Google
- Puja holiday package from Kolkata
- Darjeeling Gangtok tour package from Kolkata
- Puri tour package 3 nights 4 days
- Kashmir tour package from Kolkata for family
- Thailand tour package from Kolkata
- travel agent near me Gariahat
- Sikkim group tour from Behala
Your website and Google listing should answer every one of these.
Why it matters
Why travel agents & tour operators need their own website.
- 01
Families compare packages before they call
A family planning the Puja holiday will look at several agents’ packages side by side. The one that shows the hotels, the day-by-day plan and a clear price gets the call; a poster that says “contact for details” gets skipped.
- 02
Leads that come only to you
Enquiries bought from portals and lead sites may also go to other agents. Someone who finds your package on Google, or opens a link you sent, is talking only to you, and comes back to the same page when it is time to pay.
- 03
A link to forward instead of PDFs and voice notes
Customers ask for the itinerary again and again, then forward it round the family. A package page with the plan, inclusions and cancellation terms is easier to share than a PDF, and it is always the latest version.
What we build
What your website includes.
Package pages with a day-by-day itinerary
Each package with its route, say Kolkata–NJP–Darjeeling–Gangtok, nights at each stop, a day-by-day plan, hotel category and vehicle type, and photos of the actual places rather than generic stock.
Inclusions, exclusions and honest “from” prices
What the price covers (hotels, meals, cab, sightseeing) and what it doesn’t (train or air fare, entry tickets, permits), with a “from” price per person on twin sharing and a clear note when GST and, for trips abroad, TCS are extra.
Departure dates and group tours
Fixed departures for Puja, Christmas and summer holidays with seats left, and a way to request private dates for a family, a para group or an office team.
Enquiry on WhatsApp
Customers pick a package, travel month, number of adults and children and departure city, and the enquiry reaches your WhatsApp ready for a quote. Our WhatsApp booking guide shows the flow.
Visa and document notes
For each destination, what to carry: photo ID for domestic trips, passport validity and visa type for abroad, and permits for areas such as North Sikkim, with a reminder that entry rules are set by the authorities concerned and can change.
Cancellation policy and payment modes
The advance and balance schedule, cancellation charges by how close to departure, how and when refunds are paid, and the payment modes you accept, such as UPI, bank transfer or card.

How to get found in local searches.
Advice we follow when we set up your Google Business Profile and website. Most of it you can do yourself today.
- 01
Choose “Travel agency” or “Tour operator” as the primary Google Business Profile category, whichever describes most of your work, and add the other only if it is also true.
- 02
Verify the profile at the office where customers actually meet you. If you work from home and meet clients elsewhere, set it up as a service-area business and hide the address. Our setup guide covers both.
- 03
Add your main packages as products or services on the profile, such as “Darjeeling–Gangtok 5N/6D” or “Puri weekend package”, each linking to its page on your site.
- 04
Post on the profile well before each booking rush, such as Puja and the winter holidays. Short dated posts with a departure date and a link to the package page do more than festival greetings.
- 05
Ask customers for a review after they return, when they can talk about the hotels and the driver, and reply to complaints calmly with what you did. Offering a discount on the next trip in return for a review breaks Google’s rules.
Rules worth knowing
- TCS and GST on packages. Budget 2026 cut TCS on overseas tour packages to a flat 2% of the price from 1 April 2026, replacing the earlier 5% and 20% slabs. The rule, formerly section 206C(1G), now sits in the Income-tax Act, 2025, and the agent selling the package collects it. Packages that include stay and transport are commonly billed at 5% GST without input tax credit, or 18% with it. Say on each package whether GST and TCS are extra, and confirm current rates with your CA. See incometaxindia.gov.in (opens in a new tab).
- Online bookings. If customers book or pay on your site, the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 apply: show your legal name and address, a grievance officer’s contact, payment modes and full cancellation and refund terms before payment. They also bar charging a customer for cancelling unless you would bear similar charges if you cancelled, and the CCPA’s 2023 dark patterns guidelines treat drip pricing, where taxes and fees appear only at the end, as unfair. See consumeraffairs.nic.in (opens in a new tab).
- Ministry of Tourism recognition. Recognition as an approved travel agent or tour operator is a voluntary scheme, granted after scrutiny and inspection, not a licence to trade. If you hold it, show it with its validity; if you don’t, keep phrases like “Govt. approved” off the site. Details are on tourism.gov.in (opens in a new tab). Rules change, so treat this as a starting point, not legal advice.

FAQ
Questions owners ask us.
More answers on the FAQ page.
How much does a travel agency website cost in Kolkata?
With us, most agents take Pro at ₹24,999 once packages pass eight pages; an agent with a handful of packages can manage on Growth at ₹14,999, and Starter at ₹7,999 suits a simple site with contact details and an enquiry form. All are one-time, and domain plus hosting renews at about ₹2,500 a year from year two. See the pricing page and what websites cost in Kolkata.
Can customers book and pay for a package online?
The standard site takes enquiries on WhatsApp; you confirm the quote and collect an advance by UPI or bank transfer. Online payment, seat inventory for group departures and flight or hotel search need a payment gateway or booking engine, quoted separately. If you take payment online, the e-commerce consumer rules apply too.
Can I update packages and prices myself?
On Pro, the offers section you edit yourself suits new departures and seasonal deals. For full package pages, send the new itinerary or price on WhatsApp and we update it; small edits in the first month are free.
Should I show prices or just say “call for price”?
Show a “from” price wherever you can, with what it is based on: per person, twin sharing, a hotel category and a travel month. It filters out mismatched budgets and matches what people search for. Keep it honest, because a teaser price that jumps once taxes appear loses trust and can count as drip pricing.
Do I need Ministry of Tourism approval to have a website?
No. Ministry of Tourism recognition is voluntary. If you hold it, show it; if not, the site simply shouldn’t claim it. What customers check first is a real office address, a phone that gets answered and clear cancellation terms. Our small business website checklist lists what to keep ready.
