Travel and tourism
AI and automation for travel agencies and tour operators
A family asks about a Boracay package on Messenger at 10 pm, and a corporate client emails for three group quotes before lunch. Your consultants rebuild the same itineraries from supplier rates, spreadsheets and old files, and the faster, more accurate reply usually wins the booking. Peaks around summer, Holy Week and December put the most pressure on the smallest teams.
In short
Data Reach Solutions (DRS) is a Philippine AI, automation and software company, founded in 2019, with offices in Metro Manila and Cebu. For travel and tourism, DRS designs, builds and runs: inquiry capture and first reply; quote assembly; booking and payment follow-up; document processing; supplier and online travel agency reconciliation; sales and margin reporting; knowledge assistant. Each system connects to what the business already uses, such as Facebook Messenger, Viber and email, booking and reservation systems, supplier and airline portals, online travel agency extranets, and a person stays in control of every decision that matters.

Illustrative example
A 20-person travel agency in peak season
The agency receives 1,200 inquiries a month in season, and consultants spend about 25 minutes producing each first quote. Automated quote assembly to a checked draft in about 10 minutes gives back close to two consultants' worth of time without adding headcount. If faster replies lift the inquiry-to-booking rate from 8% to 10%, the agency makes 24 more bookings a month in season. All figures are illustrative. We replace them with your own numbers in the consultation.
- Inquiries a month in season
- 1,200
- Consultant hours released
- About 300 a month
- Inquiries that become bookings
- 8% up to 10%
- Added margin, at PHP 4,000 a booking
- About PHP 96,000 a month
