If you are new in the travel industry and want to start a business then this article is for you. In the Travel industry content has become more fragmented. Initially, it was the Low-Cost Carriers aka LCCs, whose content was only available on their websites. Then it comes on the 100s of hotel suppliers like Expedia, Priceline, etc. each promising you the lowest and best content but no one has the ability to compare and confirm. Then came hundreds of airline consolidators promising you the best airfares for your customers and now, even the airlines are promising the “rich and best content” through new technologies like New Distribution Capability (NDC). These don’t even include hundreds of complex terms like CAT35, CUG rates, SOTO fares, etc. which is enough to make anyone’s head spin.
Then Comes lots of Global content provider like Sabre, Galileo, Amadeus, etc. Problem is it is costly to the reach of every agents and company as its charges are high if eventually you own one then its not guaranteed that you have lowest fare.

Best content and price

You no longer have to search hundreds of websites and suppliers to find the best price. Further, the content is accessible through an easy-to-use website that is accessible at all times from anywhere.
Better commissions
Since you have access to all the content in a single area, you are able to make better commissions on sales. You can decide on the selling price for each customer and rest knowing you would be the most competitive in the market. This allows you to maximize your profits while reducing your costs.
Easy integration with existing solutions
Most global content suppliers offer their content through APIs which allows you to integrate the best content into your solutions. If you are a retail or corporate agency, you can now offer the best content directly to your customers. Simply add the content APIs to your existing solution and everything is handled by the global content supplier.
Easy Payments
Earlier, you had to deal with multiple suppliers and each one would have their own payment terms in multiple currencies. With a global content supplier like TravelAgentMall, you simply make payments in one currency to a single supplier, and your work is done. They handle all the settlements in the back and you can focus on servicing your customers.
Self-Service Portal
Global content suppliers also offer a self-service portal for customers that are not looking for an API solution. This makes it easy to search and book products without any development work. You can further grow towards an API solution when the need arises.
