Outsourcing for the travel sector
The travel industry is among the fastest building and one of the biggest revenue-generating industry. But with a lot of new companies emerging and the rise of technology, the travel industry has become more advanced and challenging. People travel for both leisure and business and especially during the peak season, the volume of customers in the travel sector can be hectic. Add that to the meticulous needs of the customers that have to be met to give them an affordable but also the most valuable travel experience, the process involved in which requires a great depth of detail. From handling ticketing processes to reservations and bookings for accommodation, dining, and other activities and tours, these functions can drain a business’ operation costs and resources.
When you outsource the time-consuming, redundant, and less critical business functions, you free up the time of your staff in doing tasks like data entry and management. For small travel businesses, outsourcing means you can save a significant amount in hiring a full-time receptionist or office assistant. With the roster of highly skilled and experienced outsourcing firms, you can also gain access to specialized employees and resources that can make your business functions and process seamless and available online to leverage the access to technology. When outsourcing any part of your business, it is necessary that you choose a partner who can better the job you are doing.
Outsourcing advantages for travel businesses
Outsourcing business functions frees up your time and resources in doing non-revenue and redundant office tasks such as data entry and management, call and chat support, ticketing, bookings, and reservations. By outsourcing these less critical business processes, you can redirect you and your staff’s attention to more profit-generating efforts for your business such as promotions and customer-relationship building. Travel outsourcing companies have years’ worth of skills and experiences in handling the needs of the industry. They have a roster of highly competitive employees specializing in various service areas as well as appropriate and seamless systems to keep up with the demands of the current travel industry.

Types of travel businesses that should outsource
Outsourcing is a fairly common business practice in the travel industry. One of the most common examples is online and independent travel agencies hiring an outsourcing partner to provide a virtual assistant that can do back office tasks and processes, such as data entry for booking and reservations. Aside from this, it significantly reduces the overall cost of hiring a regular office-based employee; it also makes the entire ticketing, booking, and reservation process seamless and available online to cater to more customers. Aside from travel agencies, tourist attractions, such as museums and amusement parks, owners are familiar with this strategy especially when it comes to managing the increased volume of customers during the peak season.

Best travel jobs to outsource
Outsourced travel tasks usually involve back office-related tasks and functions that take a lot of time and effort to fulfill, such as ticketing which involves a high process time. An outsourcing partner can seamlessly shorten and quicken the tedious process of handling and distribution of tickets and queries. A virtual assistant can also serve as extra staff to do the booking and reservations of hotels and accommodation, restaurants and dining, tours, appointments, and other activities and excursions. Other commonly outsourced tasks in the travel sector also include finance and accounting, customer care and service, and marketing. Read more…

6 travel outsourcing success stories
Duncan Wierman
“I have used Alex to provide myself and my students with Virtual Assistants from the Philippines. Alex is always mindful of our needs to find the best quality person for the job. Alex handles all the co-ordination, payments, and issues with the VA’s that make it easy to do business who are in the Philippines.”
Mona and Yaxkin Velasquez
“I have worked with VA4REI since 2012 and it’s the best business decision I have made, having a reliable, knowledgeable and dependable virtual assistant which with very little training can help do all do little things that my business requires such as data entry, data sorting, marketing, etc. that is extremely necessary but time-consuming and low income producing, being able to delegate that so I can focus on high income-producing activities is the best decision I have done for my business.”
Rachel Skuse
“We are very excited about the future of our business and embracing new technology as well as having a permanent solution for our staffing requirements. I can highly recommend PMVA’s Service”

Silvio Bevacqua
“All those jobs that you and your people don’t like doing, or just don’t have time suddenly get all the love and attention to streamline your day to day business and system. You have to be mad not to get on board for this value.”
