From enquiry to booking

1

Capture enquiry via WhatsApp

Promote your WhatsApp number on Instagram bio, Google Business, and website. Customer messages with destination and travel dates → automated welcome + qualification bot captures: destination, dates, number of adults/children, budget range, accommodation preference.

2

Send personalised quotation

Sales agent receives qualified lead in team inbox with all details. Prepare quotation → send via WhatsApp with PDF itinerary attachment, hotel photos, day-by-day plan. WhatsApp quotations are opened 5× more than email.

3

Follow-up sequence

Automated follow-up if no response in 24 hours: "Hi {name}, just checking if you received the itinerary for {destination}? Happy to customise it. Reply YES to book or CUSTOM for changes." 45% of bookings come from this follow-up.

4

Booking confirmation

On booking: automated confirmation with booking reference, payment schedule, visa requirements, packing checklist, emergency contact numbers.

5

Pre-departure reminders

T-7 days: visa reminder + packing tips. T-3 days: check-in reminder. T-1 day: final itinerary + emergency contact. All automated via WA.Expert flows.

6

In-trip support

Customer is travelling → WhatsApp remains open for any emergency or query. Team inbox ensures someone is always available. Post-trip: automated feedback + referral request.

Travel agencies using WhatsApp report average booking-to-enquiry conversion of 28% vs 8% via email. Key reason: WhatsApp quotations include photos, can be forwarded to family for approval, and allow instant back-and-forth questions, all on the customer's preferred channel.

Common questions

Do travel customers really use WhatsApp for bookings?
Yes. India has 500M+ WhatsApp users. For high-consideration purchases like travel, customers prefer WhatsApp because they can share the itinerary with family, ask questions in real-time, and pay via UPI link, all in one conversation. WhatsApp bookings have lower drop-off than website booking forms.
How do I handle multiple enquiries simultaneously?
WA.Expert's team inbox lets multiple agents handle separate conversations simultaneously. Conversations are assigned to agents based on destination expertise or round-robin. Tags and notes allow seamless handoff between agents without customer needing to repeat details.
Can I send travel documents via WhatsApp?
Yes. PDF documents up to 100MB can be sent via WhatsApp. Visa copies, hotel vouchers, flight tickets, and travel insurance documents can all be shared in the conversation. This eliminates email threads where documents get buried.
