Travel Agency WhatsApp Automation Package Inquiries Singapore 2025

"Hi, how much is Japan trip for 4 pax in March? Cherry blossom season. Budget around $2,500 per person."

This single WhatsApp message kicks off a 25-message conversation:

• "Which cities are you interested in?"
• "How many days?"
• "Do you need flights?"
• "Hotel preference?"
• "Any dietary requirements?"
• "Do you have specific attractions in mind?"

By the time your agent finishes this qualification, the customer has already inquired with 3 other agencies.

Travel customers shop around. The first agency to provide a concrete itinerary wins the booking.

The Travel Agency Inquiry Challenge

Inquiry Volume Spikes Are Seasonal and Predictable

Travel bookings follow clear patterns:

Season	Inquiries	Common Destinations
Nov-Jan	5x normal	Year-end Europe, Christmas markets
Feb-Mar	3x normal	Cherry blossom Japan, Spring Break
May-Jun	4x normal	June holidays, summer Europe
Nov	3x normal	Year-end planning begins

During peaks, your 3 travel consultants cannot handle 50+ inquiries per day while also servicing confirmed bookings.

Most Inquiries Follow Identical Patterns

We analyzed thousands of travel inquiries. The top questions:

1. "How much for [destination] trip for [X] people?"
2. "What is included in the package?"
3. "Can you customize the itinerary?"
4. "Is the flight direct?"
5. "What hotels are included?"
6. "Do you have a [specific date] departure?"
7. "What is the deposit/payment schedule?"

80% of initial inquiries are these same questions. Perfect for AI automation.

The Customer Is Comparing 5+ Agencies

Travel is high-consideration, high-comparison:

• Average customer inquires with 4-6 agencies
• First agency to provide clear pricing often wins
• Customers want instant answers, not "let me check and get back to you"

Delayed responses mean lost bookings to faster competitors.
