# Travel booking portal development > A travel booking portal lets customers or agents search and book flights, hotels, holiday packages, transfers and activities from connected suppliers. Infikey builds B2C portals, B2B agent portals with credit limits and wallets, and white-label setups, integrating GDS, NDC, bed bank and activity APIs. Typical builds cost USD 40,000–100,000. Flights, hotels, holidays and activities in one portal, with your markups, your brand and your agent network. - **Budget:** USD 40k–100k (INR 32–80 lakh) - **Suppliers:** GDS, NDC airlines, bed banks, activities - **Models:** B2C, B2B agents, B2B2C white label ## Portal features | Area | Features | |---|---| | Flights | One-way, return and multi-city search, fare families, seat and baggage add-ons, ticketing, cancellations | | Hotels | Multi-supplier search with de-duplication, room mapping, cancellation policies | | Holidays | Package builder, itinerary PDFs, departure dates, deposits and balance payments | | Activities and transfers | Time slots, vouchers, pick-up points | | B2B | Agent onboarding, credit limits, wallet top-ups, markups by agent or group, sub-agents | | Revenue | Markup and discount rules by supplier, route, season and channel | | Back office | Booking queues, refunds, supplier reconciliation, GST or VAT invoices, reports | ## B2C, B2B or both? - **B2C portals** win on marketing, speed and trust: fast search, clear prices, reviews and easy payments. Plan for SEO and paid ads from day one. - **B2B agent portals** win on supplier rates, credit terms and service: agents need net rates, markups, wallets and quick support. - **B2B2C white labels** let agents run their own branded site on your inventory. Most agencies start with B2B, where demand already exists, and add B2C later. If you only sell hotels, start smaller with a [hotel booking engine](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/travel-hospitality/hotel-booking-engine) approach. ## Cost | Scope | Budget (USD) | Budget (INR) | |---|---|---| | Hotels and activities portal, B2B or B2C | 40,000–60,000 | 32–50 lakh | | Add flights through GDS or consolidator API | +20,000–40,000 | +16–32 lakh | | Add mobile apps for customers or agents | +20,000–35,000 | +16–28 lakh | Supplier API fees, GDS contracts and certification are separate from development. These are planning ranges, not quotes. ## Project blueprint: B2B travel portal for a holiday wholesaler Based on the requirements we hear most often from buyers like this. A holiday wholesaler sells hotels, transfers and tours to travel agents through email quotes. Agents wait hours for prices, the team re-types bookings into supplier systems, and credit given to agents is hard to control. What we would build: - Agent portal with live hotel and activity search across connected suppliers - Markup rules by agent group, destination and season - Agent wallets, credit limits and statements - Package builder with itinerary PDFs - Back office for bookings, cancellations and supplier reconciliation How success is measured: - Bookings made by agents without staff help - Quote turnaround time - Overdue agent credit - Booking errors and supplier mismatches ## Frequently asked questions ### Do we need our own IATA accreditation to sell flights? Not always. Many agencies start through a consolidator API that handles ticketing, then move to direct GDS or NDC connections as volume grows. Requirements differ by market, so check with your suppliers. ### How do you handle the same hotel from several suppliers? We map hotels and rooms across suppliers so customers see one listing with the best available rate, rather than duplicates. ### Can agents pay on credit? Yes. Each agent gets a credit limit, wallet and statement, and bookings stop automatically when the limit is reached. ## Related guides - [Travel and hospitality software development company](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/travel-hospitality): Infikey Technologies builds travel and hospitality software: hotel booking engines and guest apps, B2C and B2B travel booking portals, tour... - [Multi-vendor marketplace development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/ecommerce/multi-vendor-marketplace): A multi-vendor marketplace lets many sellers list and sell products on one platform.
