Travel agents or agencies must have an identifying number called an IATA, or International Air Transport Association, number to work with travel suppliers such as tour operators and airlines. Having IATA accreditation simplifies the business relationship between travel suppliers and travel agents. Travel agents must meet certain requirements to be eligible to obtain IATA accreditation. Once accredited, you can gain global recognition and access to special discounts from suppliers in the travel industry.

The advantage of being an IATA agent is, you can get the GDS integration (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, Worldspan) you’re your web portal.

Global Distribution System, as GDS is called, connects millions of providers to provide a common platform for bookings (flight, hotel, packages and cars) to users across the globe.

After GDS integration with B2B, B2C and Admin modules in place, client would have a robust airline reservation system and would be able to do live bookings from this GDS system for flights

But if you don’t have IATA agency then you can connect with many third party agents who are providing their XML or API to integrate and want o work with their published fares, we offer the best of the solutions to our clients.

Some of the third party providers are Arzoo, Cleartrip, Makemytrip and Akbar Travel Online. By integrating this third party XML in your website you can have a robust airline reservation system. With each bookings done through your website, you can earn commission from these third party providers.

Next step is to develop a relationship with a host agency for advertising and possible leads on travel discounts. If you do not work as the host agency, obtain a written agreement regarding your commission rate.

After that Contact travel suppliers you intend to work with and apply for an account.

Provide suppliers with your company’s IATA number when you call to make reservations or obtain a quote, as travel suppliers will need to be sure you are a legitimate travel agent.

Incase you are not an IATA agent but you have done XML integration from a third party provider then you can show a real time booking from your website.
