Executive Summary

Many small travel agencies and tour operators (roughly 200,000 businesses) are stuck with fragmented booking flows, manual CRM work, and costly supplier integrations that eat margins and reduce conversion rates. The pain is operational: lost bookings, slow response times, and high integration overheads that prevent agencies from scaling direct-to-consumer sales. You could build a modular SaaS platform that combines a white‑label B2C booking engine, integrated CRM, automated supplier API connectors, payments and reconciliation, plus AI-driven itinerary generation and copy so agencies can automate sales and fulfillment. Offer it as a $10–30K ACV core license with integration/transaction fees and a developer-friendly API to speed onboarding. This is an actionable $4.0B market (200k agencies × ~$20K ACV) driven by a shift to direct bookings, mature hotel/flight APIs that lower integration friction, and AI tools that improve conversion with personalized offers. Recurring licensing plus transaction revenue and upsells to integrations make the unit economics attractive if you can achieve adoption. To win you’ll need vertical focus and operational depth — prebuilt connectors to top suppliers (dozens, not just a few), a white‑label D2C product, and measurable conversion gains from AI personalization to create stickiness. Expect heavy competition and ongoing integration maintenance costs, but defensibility can come from network effects, proprietary conversion data, and tight operational support tailored to small agencies.
