KTO unveils the ‘Designated Travel Agency Program’

In addition to the MICE Support and Korea Premium Travel Consultant (KPTC) Program, KTO has unveiled the Designated Travel Agency Program, a strategic initiative under the K-Incentive Scheme 3.0, designed to recognize and support travel agencies actively promoting South Korea. KTO in collaboration with OTOAI, successfully hosted the Korea Tourism Roadshow in Mumbai on 14 February, 2025, reinforcing its commitment to the Indian travel trade and presenting key programs aimed at further boosting Indian tourist arrivals to South Korea. Myong Kil Yun, Regional Director – India & SAARC Countries, KTO, said: "South Korea’s growing popularity among Indian travellers is a testament to the strong partnership we share with the Indian travel trade. With evolving traveller preferences and increasing demand for unique experiences, we are committed to providing our partners with tailored support, from exclusive training programs to performance-based incentives." Talking about the Roadshow in Mumbai, Himanshu Patil, President, OTOAI, said, “This partnership between OTOAI and KTO has the potential to significantly boost outbound tourism from India to Korea, unlocking opportunities for both travel operators and tourists. With the rising popularity of Korean entertainment in India and the increasing awareness of the country’s rich cultural heritage and unique culinary experiences, Indian tourists are showing greater interest in visiting Korea. Additionally, the growing popularity of Korean beauty products in the Indian market has led to an increase in enquiries for tours that include beauty experiences, further highlighting the diverse interests of Indian travellers. This roadshow was a great opportunity for our members to gain in-depth knowledge of Korea and enhancing their ability to create seamless travel experiences for their clients.” Under this program, participating agencies will develop Korea-specific travel packages incorporating at least one local city beyond Seoul, such as Busan, Gangwon-do, Jeollanam-do, or Jeollabuk-do. Travel agents must submit a detailed proposal outlining their itinerary, marketing plan, and visa facilitation strategy. Selected agencies will receive direct visa support, promotional assistance, and exclusive rewards. Top-performing agencies will be rewarded based on their overall sales performance, with special recognition at the end of the year. With 176,668 Indian visitors traveling to South Korea in 2024—a remarkable 44% increase from the previous year—KTO continues to focus on equipping its trade partners with enhanced tools and incentives to sustain this momentum. With a global target of 18.5 million visitors for 2025, KTO has set an ambitious goal of welcoming 250,000 Indian travellers this year. As it continues to deepen engagement with the Indian travel trade, KTO remains committed to enhancing resources, streamlining travel processes, and offering innovative marketing initiatives to make South Korea a top outbound destination for Indian travellers.

Scots set to descend on Germany for Euro 2024 – thanks to exclusive charter from Highland travel agency, Spirit Journeys

A Highland travel agency has chartered an exclusive flight ahead of the UEFA European Football Championship this summer – one of the few flights with remaining capacity set to take off from Scotland for the tournament. Spirit Journeys is offering travel package deals to Scottish football fans, with a private flight departing from Inverness Airport direct to Munich International Airport on June 13, and returning on June 24 from Stuttgart Airport. Spirit Journeys’ owner Julia MacLeay said: “With Scotland set to play three matches in the group stages of this year’s Euro 2024 Championship, Spirit Journeys is offering unique package deals to Scottish football fans eager to be part of the action. “Spirit Journeys has chartered a private plane that will travel from Inverness to Munich on June 13, so Scottish football fans will arrive in the city in plenty of time to see Scotland kick off the tournament against host Germany on June 14. “There has been incredible demand on flights to Germany since Scotland qualified in October 2023 and even more pressure on hotels and accommodation providers in the host cities long before that. Therefore, while we do have a number of spaces still available across our package options, we expect these will book up quickly.” ATOL registered and part of the Travel Trust Association, Spirit Journeys has over 25 years of experience in organising worldwide travel experiences and tours. With the support of local businessman and BID board director Don Lawson, Spirit Journeys is offering a number of package deals across an 11-night period to Scottish supporters up and down the country. This includes a flight only package; a flight and hotel package with accommodation in Munich, Cologne and Stuttgart; and a flight, hotel and match ticket package with category 3 tickets for each Scotland group game. Packages are also available to those who wish to visit Germany during the summer but not attend the games. Don commented: “After making it to the group stages of Euro 2020 after 24 years, we were reluctant to believe that this opportunity would come around again so soon. “As it is, flights from Scotland to Germany are few and far between with many now sold out or near to it. This is a rare opportunity and a great experience for Scottish football fans across the Highlands and beyond.” Spirit Journeys Worldwide is an Inverness-based UK travel company registered with ATOL and the Travel Trust Association, with over 25 years of experience organising travel arrangements worldwide. The company specialises in tailormade holidays, retreats and cultural tours worldwide.

Bringing Sabre experts and executives together with travel agencies in Delhi and Mumbai, Sabre Space offers a dynamic in-person platform for agents to explore the latest technology trends and gain important insights into how to thrive in today’s digital-first travel landscape. A packed agenda includes the latest market and global travel trends, as well as how travel agencies can ensure they don’t get left behind amid growing New Distribution Capability (NDC) offers. Sabre will also be talking about how to streamline travel operations and enhance travel offers through multi-source content, as well as what to expect from Sabre’s Artificial Intelligence-driven technology. “We’re thrilled to press on with the momentum of our Sabre Space roadshows,” said Brett Thorstad, Vice President of Sabre Travel Solutions, Agency Sales & Airline Distribution, Asia Pacific. “Our Sabre Space events were a huge success when we launched them in 2023, and we continue to add new insights and information for 2024 as the travel landscape, and Sabre’s technology, evolves at pace.

Key Steps to Focus on When Building an Online Travel Agency

Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) play a crucial role in the travel industry, serving as intermediaries between travelers and various travel services. In today's competitive market, new OTAs must prioritize efficient business planning, robust travel agency software and a unique vision to succeed. This article will explore the key steps that aspiring OTAs should focus on to thrive in the dynamic landscape of online travel. Step #1: Finding Your Market In the intricate tapestry of the online travel industry, the foundational step toward success for any aspiring travel agency is identification of its very own specific market niche. The significance of this cannot be overstated, as it serves as the bedrock upon which the entire OTA operation is built. By embracing specialization, an OTA gains the strategic advantage of honing in on a more focused and tailored approach, effectively distinguishing itself from the competitors. In the ever-evolving landscape of 2024, where travel trends change on a regular basis, aspiring OTAs must not merely navigate but surf these trends to stay ahead. Whether it's the rising popularity of eco-friendly travel, immersive cultural experiences, or the demand for unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations, an astute understanding of contemporary trends becomes paramount. Thus, by aligning business strategies with these trends, OTAs can carve a niche that not only addresses current consumer demands but anticipates and adapts to the future preferences of the global traveler. Step #2: Travel Accreditation and Licensing The second pivotal step in establishing a robust foundation for an Online Travel Agency involves delving into the realm of travel accreditation and licensing. This process goes beyond a mere bureaucratic requirement; it is the key to unlocking the trust and confidence of potential customers. Accreditation from organizations such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) are essential in demonstrating OTA's commitment to excellence and adherence to industry standards. However, for those navigating the complex world of online travel without these common accreditations, there are alternative ways. Signing with a host agency becomes a viable route, allowing non-accredited OTAs to tap into the expertise and credibility of established partners. Additionally, exploring the possibilities within aggregator platforms presents an avenue to offer a comprehensive array of travel services without the immediate need for individual accreditation. It's a balance between regulation and innovation, where the judicious choice of strategy can set the stage for sustained success in the competitive realm of online travel. Step #3: Defining Commercial Strategy With the market identified and the necessary accreditations in place, the third crucial step for an Online Travel Agency revolves around a clear-cut commercial strategy. This is not merely about selling travel products; it's about creating an immersive and compelling narrative that resonates with the diverse preferences of the global traveler. Drawing inspiration from the sophisticated playbook of the industry's frontrunners, OTA owners must embrace innovative marketing strategies to increase visibility and drive sales. The journey begins with a deep dive into the eight marketing strategies outlined by industry experts - strategies designed not merely to sell but to captivate the imagination of potential travelers. From harnessing the power of social media to leveraging influencer partnerships, from optimizing search engine visibility to crafting engaging and shareable content, each facet of the commercial strategy becomes an indispensable element shaping OTA's brand narrative. In this era where consumers are not just buying products; they are investing in experiences, the commercial strategy becomes the key orchestrator of defining the image of OTA business. Step #4: Technology Strategy In the online travel industry, an Online Travel Agency's (OTA) success pivots significantly on its technology strategy. The dichotomy between custom development and turnkey travel software purchase demands careful consideration, with each option bearing its own set of advantages and challenges. Custom development allows OTAs to tailor their systems, including travel agency crm software or travel xml api to precise specifications, fostering a unique user experience. However, this path is often complex and time-consuming. On the other hand, turnkey solutions offer a quicker route to market, leveraging pre-built systems. Yet, they may lack the bespoke features crucial for a competitive edge. Striking the right balance necessitates a nuanced approach, understanding the specific needs and constraints of the OTA in question. Moreover, the wisdom of partnering with a technological expert becomes apparent, guiding OTAs through the labyrinth of technological implementations. In a realm where seamless user experiences and cutting-edge functionalities are paramount, the technology strategy emerges as the linchpin, dictating the OTA's ability to not just survive but thrive in a digitally-driven landscape. Step #5: Integrations As an Online Travel Agency (OTA) strives for technological excellence, the fifth step ushers in the critical phase of integrations. It's not just about building a system but connecting seamlessly with a myriad of external entities to enhance the overall travel experience. This includes forging connections with travel suppliers, integrating payment gateways, and syncing with other systems such as online maps and content mapping services. The heartbeat of any thriving OTA lies in these third-party integrations, ensuring a harmonious orchestration of services. Take, for instance, the connections between an OTA and its travel suppliers. A seamless connection caters for real-time updates on availability, pricing, and offerings, translating into a dynamic and responsive user experience. Similarly, payment gateway integrations facilitate secure transactions, an absolute imperative for modern online travel booking engine software. Beyond the basics, exploring integrations with content suppliers and mapping services adds layers of richness to an OTA's offering, creating an immersive experience for the end-user. As the saying goes, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link; in the world of OTAs, integrations serve as the robust links binding together a comprehensive and competitive travel ecosystem. Final Thoughts Along the journey of crafting a successful Online Travel Agency (OTA), strategic decisions serve as the compass pointing towards triumph. Navigating through market focus, accreditation, commercial strategy, technology, and integrations, these decisions collectively shape the blueprint for a thriving OTA. Specializing in a market niche provides a strategic edge, while accreditations like IATA and ARC become pillars of trust. The technological strategy propels the OTA forward, with the choice between custom development and turnkey solutions guided by a technological partner. Integrations, seamlessly connecting with suppliers and enhancing user experience, complete the tapestry. In these strategic decisions lies the key to not just building an OTA but creating a lasting and successful travel venture.

MLB Agrees to International Partnership With JTB Corp. Japan’s Largest Travel Agency

We believe JTB can provide that vital support and we look forward to working closely together on the WORLD TOUR.” JTB, a Tokyo-based international operation, opened its New York office 60 years ago and has handled a large number of overseas trips along with the liberalization of overseas travel in Japan, having steadfastly maintained its position as a leading travel agency in Asia. In recent years, JTB has helped thousands of Japanese baseball fans visit the U.S. and Canada to see Japanese players star in MLB, while establishing strong relationships with many Clubs across Major League Baseball.
