How to start a travel agency in Kolkata
Kolkata anchors eastern India's air travel, with strong domestic demand and international routes to Southeast Asia and the Gulf. Starting an online travel agency here lets you serve a large regional market that increasingly books flights online.
How to start, step by step
- 1
Register your business
Set up as a proprietor, LLP or company with GST and a current account, and add a payment gateway to collect from customers.
- 2
Get your booking platform
Use a white-label platform that supplies live fares, ticketing and a branded storefront — no development or airline contracts needed.
- 3
Set your prices
Book at wholesale fares and add your own markup on each booking. No per-booking commission is taken from you.
- 4
Go live and sell
Share your booking site, start with your local network and social media, and reinvest early margins into ads.
