June to August is considered as the prime season for Kerala— it’s a time when the state turns into a green paradise. Travellers around the world visit Kerala during this period. From the backwaters of Alleppey to the Misty Hill of Munnar each destination is a paradise in Kerala. This place becomes a scenic getaway for travellers, especially those living in hot states like Rajasthan.
Due to this, it becomes a peak time for travel agents and tour operators. Whether it is families, solo travellers or groups of friends, everyone seeks for the best package. This usually results in a flood of enquiries coming to the travel agent and tour operators. Handling the demand becomes chaos for businesses.
Responding to each query on time and managing the changes by clients in packages becomes the most difficult part. Lack of system and manual handling of enquiries result in loss of business for the owners.
Here is a big question—how?
How does manual itinerary making impact travel business and tour operators?
The main reason is your business being trapped in the process of manual itinerary making. If you still create your itinerary through Canva or Word— you are wasting your precious time in which you can scale your business.
Imagine that a customer asks you to make a 5N/6D Kerala trip flight, and it takes you 4 to 5 hours to build a day-wise plan. Calculating prices, formatting, adding pictures and typing out every inclusion– too long of a process. After that a consumer asks you to make the changes– more time gets wasted.
Now imagine doing this when you get more than 10 leads in a day. Now calculate how much time you are spending on each— and think “Can you afford to lose it?”
Here is a brief overview of how manual itinerary-making is affecting your business
- Delayed responses = Lost leads
- More time spent on admin = Leaves less time for you to close deals
- Manual errors = Bad impression on client
- Lack of real-time tracking = Forgotten, follow-ups
Working in a competitive industry like travel speed is everything. The faster you reply the faster you can convert a lead into a deal.

Why do you need speed in 2025?
If you are working in the travel industry now, you already know that consumers do not wait. Since they have exposure to multiple options through social media and digital platforms, they send the same inquiry to more than 5 to 7 different agents at once. The ones who respond, more professionally and quickly get the sale.
Today, travel is fast. Consumers expect the response to be instant, quick itineraries, properly organised communication and professional follow-ups. Being slow is considered unprofessional by the consumers.
It’s time to realise that– Travel itinerary should not trap but shape your business.
