You can spend a fair amount on travel technology and still have a team copying information between screens. The website looks good. There’s a booking system somewhere behind it. Quotes go out from another tool, while contracted rates live in a spreadsheet and marketing waits until someone has time.

Each purchase may have made sense on its own. Together, they can leave you paying for software while your team does the work of connecting it. That’s a useful place to start when you look at your technology budget for 2027.

At WTM London, taking place at Excel London on 3–5 November 2026, we want to show how much of that work Travelgenix can cover. You’ll find us at Stand S16-602. Come and meet the team to see the breadth of the platform and talk about where it could make a practical difference to your business.

Start with the work your business needs to do

A feature list can tell you whether a system has a booking engine. It tells you less about what happens when an adviser needs to change the product, apply your margin and send the customer a clear proposal. Those details matter because someone has to deal with them on an ordinary working day.

Think about the jobs you want technology to handle. An independent agency might need to search a useful range of suppliers and respond while a customer is still considering their options. A specialist operator might need to sell its own contracted product online without rebuilding the same information in several places. Selling through agents brings another set of requirements around access and distribution.

These are sensible starting points for choosing a platform. They give you a way to judge a demonstration against your own business. You can see whether the technology supports the sale you want to make and whether the people using it will be able to finish the job.

It also helps you separate an immediate need from something that might be useful later. Breadth is valuable when it gives you room to grow. You still need to know which parts you’ll use first.

Follow the sale beyond the first screen

Travelgenix covers the customer-facing website, live booking and supplier connections, as well as the work behind the sale. That wider picture is what we want visitors to see at WTM. A booking page is easier to judge when you can see what feeds it and where the booking goes afterwards.

Quick Quote, for example, supports quotes built by hand, from a supplier page or from live search. The distinction matters: a quote built from live search uses live bookable availability. Typing a price or importing page details does not, by itself, turn that information into live inventory.

For your own product, Luna Contracting lets you load direct contracts and make active product sellable through the Travelgenix website, widgets and Contracting API. Your contracted rates can sit alongside connected supplier content. That gives an operator a way to put its own buying work in front of customers.

Then there’s Travelify, our mid-office. Supplier connections, enquiries and bookings sit in one interface, with pricing rules and an order manager for started, pending and confirmed bookings. The purpose is to give the team a workable route through the sale and the information needed to manage it.

Look at the fit for your type of travel business

A travel business selling a few carefully chosen tours doesn’t need to behave like a general online agency. Equally, an agency offering several holiday types should be able to make that range clear without sending customers through an awkward collection of disconnected pages. The technology needs to support how you sell.

Our platform overview covers tools for agencies, operators and other travel businesses, including booking widgets, packaging, quoting and marketing. The useful conversation is about how those capabilities apply to your operation. A large menu is only the beginning; the arrangement has to make sense for the people using it.

An agency might want customers to find available options more easily after seeing a holiday idea. For an operator, the priority could be making contracted product easier to buy. Businesses with their own front end may want to discuss API access and how it supports what they already run.

We want people to see that breadth at the show. Look at what belongs together and what you already have covered. Then we can discuss the parts that would make the biggest difference to your team.

Judge value against the complete cost

The monthly price is part of the decision. So are setup, the minimum term, supplier access and any additional tools your business needs. A fair comparison puts those details beside the work the system will actually do.

Our published setup-fee pricing lists Spark at £159 a month with a £2,995 setup fee and a 12-month minimum term. Ignite is £299 a month with a £3,995 setup fee and a 24-month minimum term. These are different plans with different inclusions; the starting price doesn’t buy every capability mentioned in this article.

Spark already includes dynamic packaging and Travelify. Ignite adds capabilities such as Quick Quote, B2B functionality and multi-leg packaging. Luna Contracting is an add-on for Ignite and API Access. Check the current plan and a complete quote for your needs before making the comparison.

Alongside the bill, look at the subscriptions and manual work you could retire. Be realistic about that calculation. A tool only replaces another cost when you can actually stop paying it, and time is only saved when a task becomes shorter or disappears. Those are practical measures of value that you can revisit after implementation.

Give implementation the same attention as the demo

There’s little point choosing more capability than your team can put to work. Ask how the initial setup will happen, which supplier arrangements need checking and who will help people learn the new process. Agree what the first useful result should look like.

For one business, that result might be a bookable product range that customers can use without calling. Elsewhere, a clearer quoting process or a manageable way to sell direct contracts could matter more. Keeping the first objective specific makes it easier to tell whether the project is doing its job.

Marketing deserves a place in that discussion too. A new route to booking needs people to know it exists. Luna Marketing prepares social posts, emails and website articles in the business’s voice, with approval controls. It’s another part of the platform worth exploring alongside the sales and operational tools.
