The situation

What travel & aviation is up against.

Travel is destination- and review-driven, highly seasonal, and dominated by OTAs that recapture demand and take commission. The pain, in operators’ words: “OTAs outbid us and recapture our traffic, direct-booking conversion is poor, and our data is scattered across channels.

  • OTAs dominate and take commission

    OTAs intercept destination demand and charge commission; direct visibility and conversion win it back at higher margin.

  • Reviews and destination search decide

    Travellers research by destination and lean heavily on reviews and maps, won through local/destination SEO and genuine reviews.

  • Seasonal and channel-scattered

    Demand swings hard and bookings span direct and OTA channels, so seasonal management and unified data matter.

Where we fit.

We help across the travel growth stack: SEO and destination/local visibility for direct demand; Google Ads optimised to direct-booking margin with seasonal management; conversion-focused websites and booking landing pages; automation for booking management and re-engagement; customer portals for self-service; and dashboards showing direct-vs-OTA economics. We optimise toward profitable direct bookings.

What travel & aviation businesses ask us first.

14 questions
What does InventoApps do for travel and aviation companies?

We help win profitable direct bookings through SEO and destination search, Google Ads optimised to direct-booking margin, conversion-focused websites and booking landing pages, automation, customer portals, and direct-vs-OTA dashboards. All optimised toward commission-saving direct demand, not vanity clicks.

How do you win profitable direct bookings?

By optimising ads to true direct-booking value (factoring the commission you save), competing smartly rather than outbidding OTAs, and converting traffic through fast, easy booking pages, so direct bookings pay back and lift margin.

Do you do SEO for travel?

Yes, SEO plus destination and local visibility, so travellers researching your destination find you directly. Durable organic and destination content reduce reliance on paying OTAs and ads for every booking. See /solutions/seo-for-travel-aviation/.

Can you unify our scattered channel data?

Yes. We integrate booking, OTA, marketing, and ops data into one view showing direct-vs-OTA mix, true cost per booking, and occupancy, so you can manage channel economics and shift profitably toward direct.

How much do your travel services cost?

It depends on scope, web, portals, and booking pages are project-based; SEO, ads, and automation run as retainers, from $15/hour of effort. Transparent, itemised quotes after a free audit, with no hidden fees.

Can you handle disruptions and self-service?

Yes. Customer portals and automation give travellers self-service booking management and resilience during disruptions, when manual support can’t scale, improving experience and easing operations.

Do you work with travel companies globally?

Yes. We work with travel and aviation companies across India and internationally, travel is inherently cross-border, so we optimise for your destinations and source markets.

How do you reduce our OTA dependence?

By winning destination and ‘near me’ searches (SEO, local, reviews) and converting campaign traffic directly through strong booking pages, so travellers find and book with you instead of through OTAs that charge commission. You keep margin and the guest relationship.

How do you handle seasonality?

With active seasonal budget and bid management, so you capture demand at peak and conserve spend off-peak, rather than static campaigns that waste budget off-season and miss peak demand.

How do you handle reviews?

We earn genuine reviews from real guests and respond professionally, never fake reviews, which breach policy. In travel, reviews heavily drive booking decisions, so authentic reviews are decisive for converting researchers into direct bookings.

How long until we see more direct bookings?

Ads and booking-page conversion can lift direct bookings within weeks; SEO and destination visibility compound over months. We sequence quick wins first while durable organic builds, with honest timelines.

Can you build booking landing pages?

Yes, fast, visual pages with clear honest offers, proof, and an easy booking path, A/B tested to convert campaign traffic into direct bookings rather than letting OTAs recapture it. See /solutions/landing-pages-for-travel-aviation/.

Which services should a travel company start with?

Usually direct-booking ads plus conversion booking pages for quick direct-booking lift, then SEO and destination visibility for durable demand. We recommend a sequence after the free audit based on channel mix and where bookings leak.
