🌍 The First 90 Days of a New Travel Agency: How to Survive and Stay in the Market
The period where every day feels like a mission: strategy, risks, market reality and a clear formula for success.
Launching a travel agency feels like turning a dream into reality…
but it also pulls you straight into one of the most competitive industries.
Statistics say:
⚠️ 60% of new travel agencies shut down within the first 6 months.
⚠️ Only 18% reach stable income after year one.
Why?
Because most agencies launch out of passion for travel — but close due to lack of system.
Passion is not enough.
You need rhythm, structure, psychology, strategy, and technology.
This blog is the most comprehensive 90-day roadmap for a new travel agency — designed to help you survive, grow, stabilize, and win.
Your journey goes through 3 key phases:
🔥 Days 1–30 – Survival Mode
🚀 Days 31–60 – Growth Mode
💎 Days 61–90 – Stability Mode
Inside each step you’ll find:
• sales strategies
• customer psychology
• competitive tactics
• marketing actions
• technology setup
• real operational models
If you’re ready, let’s begin your 90-day survival journey. ✈️🔥
⭐ First 30 Days: Survival Phase
Your main goal now: make your agency visible, real, and trustworthy.
🌟 #1 Build a clear brand identity — if you look like everyone, you are no one
80% of new agencies start with the same formula:
❌ “We sell tours.”
❌ “Antalya, Dubai, Sharm…”
This makes you invisible.
Define your core:
💬 Who am I?
💬 What do I do better than others?
💬 Who is my target audience?
💬 What makes me unique?
Examples:
✨ Youth-focused travel agency
✨ Family-specialized agency
✨ Eco-tourism agency
✨ Premium tailor-made travel
✨ Visa & documentation-focused agency
You cannot be “everything for everyone.”
Choose one direction — and become the best in it.
🌟 #2 Social media is your strongest shop window
During the first month, your focus is:
📌 Instagram
📌 TikTok
📌 WhatsApp Business
📌 Facebook (family segment)
Minimum 1 post per day:
trend destinations
real prices
visual tour packages
short reels
behind-the-brand stories
If customers can’t see you → you don’t exist.
🌟 #3 Build a customer database — not in Excel!
A lead without follow-up = lost revenue.
Common beginner mistakes:
❌ no client data collection
❌ no follow-up system
❌ forgetting preferences, dates, budgets
From day one, you need: Travacco ERP
Why?
✨ Automatic customer profiles
✨ Psychological insight cards
✨ PDF offers in 30 seconds
✨ Auto follow-up
✨ Sales pipeline tracking
In the first month, you cannot afford to lose leads.
🌟 #4 Create a “trustworthy agency” image
The first question every customer asks:
❓ “Can I trust this agency?”
Trust boosters:
✔ professional logo
✔ simple, aesthetic design
✔ WhatsApp Business catalog
✔ branded PDF proposals
✔ contract + invoice structure
✔ office (even a symbolic one)
You sell trust first — then tours.
🌟 #5 Your first 50 clients are your foundation
They become:
💙 your first buyers
💙 your first reviews
💙 your first referrals
💙 your first social proof
These can be:
• friends
• colleagues
• followers
• acquaintances
Give them an advantage:
✨ “30 USD discount for our first customers.”
✨ “Free additional transfer.”
✨ “A personalized travel plan just for you.”
Your goal: collect your first success stories.
⭐ Second 30 Days: Growth Phase
Now you can stand — time to scale.
🌟 #6 Create a sales plan — business cannot run on hope
Avoid the deadliest beginner mindset:
❌ “Let’s see how it goes…”
Your second-month plan must include:
📌 number of offers sent
📌 number of follow-ups
📌 priority destinations
📌 conversion goals
📌 expected revenue
A plan = predictable results.
No plan = no results.
🌟 #7 Start producing viral content
3 formats that explode growth:
🔥 aesthetic travel videos (5–12 sec)
🔥 “problem → solution” videos
🔥 customer story videos
Gen Z and young audiences love these.
This is how you grow from 1,000 to 50,000 followers.
🌟 #8 Create unique tour products
If you sell the same as everyone else — why should clients choose you?
Add:
✨ eco-tours
✨ vanlife packages
✨ vibe tours for youth
✨ family micro-packages
✨ 2-day local tours
✨ signature routes
Uniqueness = memorability.
🌟 #9 Activate 3 main client sources
Strongest acquisition channels:
- Instagram + TikTok
- WhatsApp Broadcast Lists
- Referral Program
Referral formula:
💬 “Earn 20 USD for each referred traveler.”
💬 “Refer 3 and get a mini tour.”
Works brilliantly.
🌟 #10 Build a fast sales system
Winning rhythm:
📲 reply in 30 seconds
📄 send proposal in 1 minute
☎️ follow-up in 3 hours
💬 reminder in 24 hours
📆 final nudge in 3 days
Travacco ERP supports this rhythm:
✨ auto follow-up
✨ offer generator
✨ client psychology in CRM
✨ analytics dashboard
✨ mobile control
In tourism, the fastest responder wins.
⭐ Third 30 Days: Stability Phase
You survived — now it’s time to build a brand.
🌟 #11 Craft your brand story
People don’t remember companies — they remember emotions.
Use messages like:
💬 “We don’t sell tours — we create memories.”
💬 “Every traveler has a vibe — we tune the trip to it.”
💬 “We stand for safe, honest, comfortable travel experiences.”
Story = emotion.
Emotion = loyalty.
🌟 #12 Build your internal system — the secret to stable income
By month three, you must have:
📌 financial structure
📌 profit–loss dashboard
📌 automated contracts & invoices
📌 booking control
📌 client history
📌 documentation
Travacco ERP automates up to 90% of the workload.
🌟 #13 Define your competitive edge
What are you winning with?
❓ speed
❓ design
❓ customer service
❓ personalization
❓ trendy tours
Choose one main strength — and amplify it.
🌟 #14 Post-sale care — the source of 40% of your profit
The biggest mistake: selling → disappearing.
Real revenue comes after the sale:
💬 “How was your trip?”
💬 “Would you like to share photos?”
💬 “We launched a new route — want to see it?”
This builds:
✨ trust
✨ repeat sales
✨ referrals
Post-sale care = hidden gold.
🌟 #15 After 90 days — you’re a real agency
If you followed the plan:
💙 stable customer base
💙 daily inquiries
💙 high conversion rate
💙 recognizable brand
💙 consistent systems
💙 growing income
You're no longer “new” — you're established.
