The real problem

Your travel agency is competing with Booking.com. Let's not.

Generic travel ads get crushed by major platforms on price and volume. We position travel agencies on personalisation, expertise, and access — what the big sites structurally can't deliver.

Competing on price you can never win
We position your agency on curated itineraries, expert knowledge, and genuine service — what platforms can't offer.
Dream buyers who never convert
People love travel content but hesitate to book. We build retargeting funnels that move warm audiences from inspiration to confirmed booking.
Seasonal peaks create chaotic pipelines
We build year-round funnels for different travel seasons so your pipeline is full 12 months of the year.

Frequently asked questions

Paid ads for travel agencies — FAQ

How do I compete with Booking.com on paid ads?

Don't. Booking competes on price, inventory, and brand recognition. We position travel agencies on curation, expertise, and access — concierge-style itineraries, off-platform suppliers, on-the-ground problem solving. Different buyers entirely. The customer who picks an agent over a portal isn't comparing prices.

What's a good cost per qualified travel inquiry?

Luxury and complex itinerary inquiries cost $25–$80 per lead. The metric that matters is cost per booked trip — a typical agency converts 15-30% of qualified inquiries to bookings. With average trip value at $4k-$15k, the math works at the high end of CPL.

When should I run ads — peak season or off-season?

Off-season for the next season's bookings. Most travellers research and book 60-180 days before the trip. We run heaviest in shoulder months to fill peak season. Counter-intuitive but it's how the math actually works in travel.

Should I advertise specific destinations or curated experiences?

Curated experiences. Destination ads compete on price with portals. Experience ads — '14 days through hidden Italy with a private guide', 'safari with off-grid camps' — position you on access nobody else offers. That's where agency margins live.
